Wildfire Air Operation

Read full description

Take command of a global aerial firefighting operation — with real, live wildfire data from NASA's satellites layered right onto the map. Wildfire Air Operation puts you in charge of a country's fleet of scoopers, air tankers, and helicopters. Fires break out and spread using a full simulation — wind, temperature, and humidity all affect how fast they grow — so no two operations play out the same way. Alongside that, the map also shows real, continuously-updated wildfire detections from NASA's own satellites, marked separately so you always know which fires are actually burning in the real world right now. REAL AIRCRAFT, REAL SPECS Buy and operate 12 authentic firefighting aircraft, each modeled on the real thing: • Canadair CL-415 "Super Scooper" • Beriev Be-200 • Air Tractor AT-802 Fire Boss • DC-10 Air Tanker • Boeing 747 Global SuperTanker • C-130 Hercules (MAFFS) • Ilyushin Il-76 (VAP-2) • Sikorsky S-64 Air Crane • Kamov Ka-32 • Bell 214B • Boeing CH-47 Chinook • Mil Mi-8 Every aircraft in your fleet gets its own tail number, fuel load, cargo capacity, and range — scoopers need open water to refill, tankers need to return to base, and helicopters can work tighter spaces. MANAGE A REAL FIREFIGHTING ECONOMY Start with a budget, buy aircraft, station them at real airports, and keep them flying. Every purchase, dispatch, and relocation costs money — balance an aggressive early response against running out of budget when the big fires hit. 12 COUNTRIES TO COMMAND Choose from Turkey, the USA, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Australia, Russia, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, or Indonesia — each with its own airports, fire season, and terrain. Manage your own country's fleet, and answer international aid calls when a neighboring country's fires overwhelm their resources. BUILT ON REAL DATA Real wildfire detections come from NASA's FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System) satellite feed — the same data wildfire agencies around the world use — overlaid on top of the game's own fire simulation. Terrain and water sources are drawn from real map data, so scoop runs and flight paths follow the actual geography. PROGRESSION & ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock milestones as you extinguish fires, drop water and retardant, and help other countries — from your first ten fires all the way to becoming a legendary extinguisher. PRIVACY-RESPECTING BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no personal data collected. Your progress is saved only on your device. Ads (where shown) are non-personalized. Whether you're a wildfire management enthusiast, an aviation fan, or just looking for a deep strategy sim grounded in the real world, Wildfire Air Operation gives you the tools — and the real data — to fight fire from the sky.

Point War is a real-time strategy game fought on the actual world map. Pick a nation — a superpower or a single-city state — and take it to war. Real cities produce your troops, real economies fund them, and every border on screen is the real one. There is no invented continent to learn. The map is the world you already know. HOW IT PLAYS - Cities are your production. Hold more of them and your army grows faster. - Push into your neighbours, take their cities, and knock nations out of the war one by one. - The front line is simulated, not scripted: it bends where you commit force and breaks where you do not. - Land, sea and air all matter. Coastlines, deployment zones and range decide what you can reach. - Speed controls let you slow a decisive push down or fast-forward a quiet hour.
