Questions
Where does the traffic come from?
VATSIM and IVAO. Boards show network flights in and out of the airport, updated continuously.
Is the weather real?
Yes. METARs are live for the real airport, which is also what the sims use for live weather.
Are charts included?
Charts open through Navigraph where you have an account connected.
Can I see this before I fly?
Yes. Scheduled flights get a briefing card with METARs at both ends, active ATC on the route, and expected top of descent.
