Tired of repetitive, pre-scripted fire bombing missions? Trigger switches that are supposed to put out fires that may or may not work? Want the real thing? Meet FireFighter X.
This addon application is not mission-based, but instead it puts you in a completely dynamic environment, where fires live and grow, are aware of weather and precipitation, generate updrafts and general mayhem. And you can test your skills at actually putting them out.

- Option to use FIRMS - MODIS or VIIRS wildfire data download from nasa.gov for the fire depiction (and extinction...).
- Full multiplayer capability.
- Supporting AI aircraft.
- Spawn fires at random or in any specific place you like.
- Watch them grow and multiply themselves - detailed simulation of wildfire behaviour, taking wind and precipitation effects into account.
- Jump into your water bomber and do something about it! Detailed simulation of the retardant drop with visual effect - and it accurately extinguishes the fires depending on altitude, distance and retardant effectiveness.
- Use any plane in your FS hangar to fight the fires. FireFighter X will detect the payload stations and load up the retardant/water automatically. Just make sure you do not overload your aircraft!
- Fight the nasty updrafts over the fires.
- Keep your distance – fly too low and suffer the consequences.
- Refill your tanks at the airport.
- Scoop water from water bodies near you.
- Control the effects of weight shift when dropping water or retardant from your airplane.
- Use large amounts of retardant as barriers to prevent fires from spreading.
- Tweak every aspect of the fire and retardant drop simulation to your liking.
- Save or load settings profiles.
- Save or load fire situations.
Completely stand alone software - does not change config files or settings in FSX!
