Welcome to Nexaero Protocols.

This is not a game for pilots. It’s for those who keep them alive.
You are an MCT — Maintenance Control Technician — responsible for fault diagnostics, emergency repairs, component calibration, and system release approval. Your office? A hangar lit by flickering sodium lamps. Your tools? A checklist, a scanner, your instinct, and not enough time.
Every plane cleared or grounded — is your decision.
Every oversight — your weight to carry.

Your Role: Between Sky and Ground

NEXAERO places you inside an operational aerospace facility with real-time responsibilities. Your shift lasts six hours — compressed into gameplay. Tasks queue up fast, requests overlap, documentation must be complete. Lives depend on you.

Core Functions:

• Review fault reports submitted by onboard sensors or crew
• Perform subsystem diagnostics via simulated digital interface
• Validate physical repair via maintenance drone input
• Make critical release/no-release calls on scheduled flights
• Navigate pressure from Operations vs. Safety

This is not abstract clicking. You will read real manuals, interpret flight logs, match symptom codes, and fight against fatigue.

Aircraft Systems Interface

You’ll interact with:

  • Computer

    AeroSimOS 4.9:

    the core maintenance OS — glitchy, legacy-based, but powerful

  • Dashboard

    Multisystem Dashboard:

    real-time engine, hydraulic, avionics and pressurization stats

  • VR glasses

    VR Check Modules:

    3D simulation of known failure modes and responses

  • Tablet

    Tablet Toolkit:

    checklists, component breakdowns, tool reservations, and unlock requests

The interface is designed to distract you when it matters most — overlapping alerts, unreadable labels, contradictory inputs.
You must learn to prioritize.
Because the aircraft doesn’t care if you’re tired.
It will take off anyway — if you let it.

Incident Board – Critical Moments Logged

Nexaero includes scripted and procedural incidents that reflect real-world aviation failures — and how small mistakes escalate.
Examples:

  • Black box

    #017-A:

    Improper sealant replacement on hydraulic panel → gear fails on taxi

  • Plane

    #043-C:

    Late night engine code misread → twin-prop release with latent fault

  • Wrench

    #122-B:

    Sensor flagged oxygen leak — dismissed due to system redundancy. Post-flight pilot hospitalized

  • Clock

    #008-F:

    Perfect paperwork. System all green. And yet, 2 minutes after takeoff… power cascade. Did you miss something?

These are not cutscenes. They’re consequences of decisions you make under pressure.

Ground Crew Dispatches – What Techs Say

  • @owlshift_jay

    “This is the first game I’ve played where I actually felt like I was inside a real hangar. I don’t mean the graphics. I mean the silence, the doubt, the checklist you almost skipped.”

  • @metaltorque_52

    “I had to choose between delaying a VIP flight or trusting a flagged sensor that passed calibration. I let it go. Nothing happened. But I still think about it.”

  • @dyelatch

    “It’s not about being right. It’s about being careful. That’s what Nexaero teaches.”

  • @wingboltZero

    “That moment when the tool request system fails mid-repair and you have 40 seconds to decide — override protocol or cancel release. That is gameplay.”

Toolkit & Procedures

To keep aircraft in the sky, you’ll use a mix of tools — both digital and manual:

  • Wrench

    Tool Register:

    Request, reserve, return. Failure to log tools leads to audit penalties.

  • Scanner

    Parts Scanner:

    Match barcodes to maintenance history, validate compatibility

  • Radar

    Comms Link:

    Coordinate with fuel, loading, ATC, and security

  • Manual

    Emergency Binder:

    Non-digital manual for legacy aircraft systems (yes, paper still exists here)

Each tool ties to a procedure — and each procedure includes:

• Safety Step Confirmations
• Torque Tolerances
• Environmental Adjustments (cold start rules, hangar humidity)
• Logbook Syncs

Errors compound. Miss one torque setting? That bolt walks loose on climb-out.
The game doesn’t show you failure… until it’s airborne.

Tech Room Notes

  • Is Nexaero a flight simulator?

    No. It’s a maintenance simulator — entirely ground-based, pre-flight focused.

  • Can I crash a plane?

    You won’t see it crash. But your missed decisions will be logged — and reflected in post-flight reports.

  • Is it real-time?

    Yes. A shift is time-compressed but simulated live. You’ll feel the pressure.

  • Is this game based on real procedures?

    Yes — adapted from FAA and EASA standards, simplified for play but accurate in principle.

  • Do I need aviation knowledge to play?

    No. You’ll learn through gameplay. But attention to detail is everything.

  • Can I replay missions?

    Yes — but the system will randomize diagnostics and fault patterns to test adaptability.

  • Is there multiplayer?

    Not yet. But team-based “hangar mode” is in development.

  • What platforms?

    PC first. Console ports possible post-launch.

  • What genre is this, really?

    A mix of simulator, decision-making drama, and logic-driven strategy. Think Papers Please meets Airport Madness, but in a dark hangar.
