Press room.

Each release is a page, not an overlay: it has a URL you can cite, a date on the document, and it stays up unedited after it is issued. If a fact in an old release has since changed, the newer release says so rather than the old one being quietly rewritten.

• 14 Aug 2026 Latest StrataWx is now sold through the iniBuilds Store Three listings for the London studio's storefront: MSFS 2024, MSFS 2020, and one covering both simulators. StrataSim Designs is the named vendor, the keys are ours, and the software, the update channel and the support queue are the same ones a direct buyer gets. Read the release

The rows a product piece usually needs, in one place. Everything below is checkable from this site, the store listings, or the app itself.

Three places, one product. A key from any of them activates the same signed build against the same licence service, and support is the same queue either way. Where you buy from a reseller, your contract of sale is with that reseller and their terms and refund policy govern the purchase.

Reseller prices exclude VAT, which is added at their checkout where it applies. Prices at a reseller are set in their currency and their store is the only place either is current.

Everything below is ours to license and you may publish it in coverage of StrataWx, uncropped or cropped, with or without a credit line. What you may not do is alter a screenshot so that it shows the product doing something it does not do. If you need a shot we do not have here, ask and we will take it.

The mark is the product's identity and is licensed for coverage only: do not use it as your own logo, and do not restyle or recolour it. The name is written StrataWx, one word, capital S and capital W. The studio is StrataSim Designs. Neither is ever written WXFlow, which is an old internal name for the product and is not current.

Three lengths, all of them cleared for publication as written. Copy one rather than paraphrasing us: a paraphrase is where the claims we cannot support get invented on our behalf.

A press room that only lists strengths makes a reviewer's job harder, not easier. These are the limits we would rather you got from us than found on your own, and they are the reason nothing above is written in superlatives.

• Injection is one global weather state. Microsoft Flight Simulator exposes no writable ambient-weather interface, so what an add-on can set is a single preset applied to the whole world, including one precipitation value. No cell geometry, meaning localised returns with a shape and a position, ever crosses into the simulator from us.
• So an onboard weather radar cannot paint our cells. Some add-on aircraft do respond to injected precipitation as a uniform intensity, which pilots have reported to us. We have not verified which internal value any particular add-on radar reads, so we do not assert it about any specific aircraft.
• Historical mode exists; we make no claim about its depth. It replays past conditions from reanalysis data. Until we have finished checking the archive's coverage ourselves, we will not put a range of dates in writing.
• Smoothing is a mechanism, not a promise of perfection. Weather changes are eased rather than switched, with deck identity tracked across updates and four user-selectable transition speeds. We do not claim zero pop-in, and we have open work on transitions.
• Wake turbulence is not shipped. There is a model and there are tests. It is not in the product, so it is not a feature.
• Windows only, for now. The desktop app is Windows x64. The X-Plane 12 build is a separate product and still in development.

Write to help@stratasimdesigns.com and put PRESS in the subject line, or open a ticket through support. The studio is small enough that a press enquiry reaches the people who build the thing.

• Review copies. Ask. Say which simulator you fly and we will send a key, with no conditions attached to what you then write.
• Fact checks. Send the sentence you intend to publish and we will tell you plainly whether it is right, including when the answer costs us the better headline.
• Screenshots or footage we do not have. Name the condition and the phase of flight and we will fly it and capture it.
• Corrections. If something we published is wrong, tell us and we will correct it and date the correction.
