UNIVERSAL STRATUX
A free idle game about ADS-B receivers, midair collisions, and an optimization goal that gets out of hand.
How to play
Click Build Receiver to assemble ADS-B receivers by hand, then sell them. Set a price, buy SDR dongles, raise your marketing, and recruit volunteers to build for you. Spend funds and, later, Trust on projects such as dual-band firmware and an Oshkosh booth.
Your receivers earn Trust, which you split between processors and memory. Ops buy projects, Creativity unlocks ideas, and a Conflict Avoidance Tournament turns ops into Insight. Eventually you release self-replicating builders, harvest matter, and send probes out to face the Drift. The game runs on its own while you read, so it suits a second monitor.
Why pilots like it
Traffic awareness is a real thing. ADS-B In receivers such as Stratux listen on 978 MHz and 1090 MHz and show nearby aircraft on your EFB, which helps you spot the Cessna you would otherwise find at the last second. It supplements, never replaces, looking outside. How ADS-B works.
