Can I use ClimaDrive as a stand-alone product?

Yes, ClimaDrive can be used as a stand-alone service for generating real-time and historical weather briefings for training, proficiency and operational flight planning, but we recommend using ClimaDrive with ActiveSky to plug your weather scenarios into P3D.

What computer hardware is needed to run ClimaDrive?

ClimaDrive will run on any web browser, but to plug ClimaDrive into P3D using ActiveSky, you will need to use a computer that is powerful enough to run those platforms as recommended by ActiveSky and Lockheed Martin for your simulation platform of choice.
