How Many Pilots?

Curious how many “players “ are on global. Looking at live flight maps, it seems like a large number.
Also, do I see correctly that there approximately 40,000 forum members?

Many people that play IF are not in this community. That means more than 40,000 people in the IF skies!

Keep using that. Great resource. Most of the IFC users you find on LiveFlight have their IFC username as their display name.

Not really, because not every forum member is active… some people haven’t looked here for years… not to mention some don’t have global

But yea loads of people fly with IF

Thats true I didn’t really think of that. But I do think that there are more people playing IF than the amount in this community.

I still think personally that there are around that many with an active subscription. As Nicolas said not all are even on this forum. Anyway no one knows but the devs I guess.

I can agree with that, this app is worldwide and leaps and bounds better than anything out there. I bet the real numbers would blow us away.

I’m sure one of our moderators, who has access to the IF User database will be able to answer this question. If not, I expect Tyler will.

In addition to your question, I am also interested how many new ‘customer’ IF gained, since Global came out. My gut feeling is: many!

Comparing a Flight Aware map with LiveFlight, it seems that “our” skies are as busy as RL! That is astonishing to look at.

Not really. Flight Aware only shows “airliners” not GA Aircraft. While LiveFlight shows all aircraft, GA and Commercial. Honestly taking a guess, I would have to say around 400,000 people have IF downloaded on their devices, but only about 90,000 actively fly. These are just my estimates though

Theres no way to tell unless a mod/dev tells us.
