Every route is worked out with the detail your plan allows. The search itself is set up from your course and the forecast, so there is nothing to tune: it adapts to the weather and the course on its own.
What a tier changes is the forecast: how many of its time steps are used, and how finely the models are read. A tier never thins the data it has.
| Forecast | Standard | All-out |
|---|---|---|
| Time steps | Baseline set | Every published step |
| Model detail | Standard | Finest detail each model offers |
| Returns in | seconds | minutes |
| Plan | Included | Pro |
All-out takes everything the data supports, out to each forecast's own horizon. Where the mesoscale models cover you and the weather is changing quickly, this is the tier that sees it.
There is nothing to pick. Every compute runs at the strongest tier your plan includes. Signed out or on a free account, that is Standard. On Pro, every compute is All-out.
The time window is automatic too
There is no "time limit" field. The forecast window is sized from your course, with a margin for the weather, and is capped by how far the forecast reaches. A passage longer than the forecast is still accepted and returns honestly where the data ends.
Changing your mind is cheap
Computing again at a different departure, course or wind scale re-uses the forecast already downloaded, returns quickly, and spends nothing from your allowance.
Long passages
On a multi-week passage the search can exceed what one machine should spend. When that happens the search is simplified, and the result says so in its warnings. The forecast is still used at its full detail; only the search is simplified.
