Multiple attempts to communicate with controller at KJFK, only “active” for 18 hours.
Your answer lies in your title. « Training Server ». Once you reach grade 3 and enter the expert, this will never happen. But the training server isn’t moderated by anyone, so it’s common that people don’t really know what they’re doing. And that’s what the training server is for. To learn about a more « realistic » environment before reaching the expert server.

I found this five year old response:
No idea why the controller hasn’t been kicked yet.
I’ve asked around.
Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Thank you so much for your help and time, Jan! I really appreciate it!
Not saying it’s impossible to control for 4+ hours straight, but no responses from the tower controller ‘Controller’ again for several minutes at KJFK.
The controller is still there. It’s been 7 days since he started (according to my calculations).
It’s okay if someone stays for like 5 hours, but 7 days might be too much in my opinion

Yeah, I went back this morning for however many days in a row now and they were “active” for 5 hours. I was going to reply to the message that I have with the IF Team, though it seems they can’t do anything.

Right now it says “Tower Active for 11hrs” again but the user actually has been “Active” for over one week now!! :(
This user hasn’t linked his account to the IFC and that means he can’t be kicked.
The only way to solve this at this time is to restart the server.
That isn’t something you want to be doing often.
This seems to be a technical issue which is being investigated.
Hopefully a fix (timeout?) for this situation will be created soon.

He should be gone now. Server was just restarted :)

Hello, again, Infinite Flight team. I attempted to contact the KJFK Approach/Departure controller and received no response this morning and it appears the same controller is at the helm. I am, also, currently flying and tuned to Heathrow Director Approach and they have been “active” for 17 hours. (i.e. Have tried twice and no response.)
What app is that?
I was flying into Heathrow this morning, Director was AFK for many hours.

Hello, again, @Jan and Infinite Flight Team. It appears the same controller is still “controlling” New York Approach and Departure only for 19 hours and (sorry) I know I probably don’t have to say this, but I have tried multiple times to get instructions or at least clearance.
Something seems to be “stuck”.
Hopefully @schyllberg can have a look.

Thanks, again, Jan—and Infinite Flight Team!
Heathrow Director Approach “active” for 9 hours. Multiple attempts to contact and (as you are probably assuming) no response.
@Matei felt the urge to lay his life down for controlling a full 24hrs on Infinite Flight.
In all seriousness, this is the server you earned, this is what you get. If you wish to receive a high quality experience, come to the ES.

I just stopped flying on Infinite Flight for a couple months, but was sitting at Grade 4… no landings. Though, is bringing something like this to someone’s attention wrong? Considering the fact that @Jan commented directly on the matter in this reply: Inactive Controller at KJFK on Training Server - #17 by Jan. In other words, something can be done on behalf of the Infinite Flight team, am I missing something?
Hello!
It’s not a controller issue. It’s a server issue.
We need to restart the Training Server to give the short explanation.
