HOW ALOFT USES IT

Airport reports anchor cloud bases where available. The model’s cloud and humidity profile helps Aloft derive depth and the layers above.

Good to know.

What do I need to fly with AloftWX?

AloftWX is being developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Windows. It uses a desktop app and a companion in-sim package. MSFS 2020, X-Plane, macOS, and Linux are not supported by this version.

What are the weather limitations?

The current integration applies global simulator weather. Different locations do not have independent weather conditions at the same time.

When can I get it?

AloftWX is in development, with no release date announced. Join the community for progress, closed-beta invitations, and release news.
