Ready to dodge?

A quick note before takeoff: avoiding contrails in real flight operations is complicated. Weather models, safety, flight planning, air traffic control, pilots, airlines: a lot more is involved than nudging an aircraft up or down. This game cannot do that complexity justice. It is a playful entry point, mostly here for fun.

The marked layers are ice-supersaturated. Fly through them and a contrail forms. Dodge them cleanly and your climate score rises.
