I don’t now about you guys but I’m fed up of going to fly on IF and finding that all the traffic is in SoCal. Can we try to move the traffic to a different region such as Denver or Miami. If you guys and girls agree please comment and actually do something about it.
Playground Server
here’s a pole:

It’s been done and accomplished many times on advanced server. I’ve flown in fully staffed Seattle, Denver, NYC, London, Amsterdam, Caribbean, South Florida and Oshkosh (Rarely for OSH though obviously) and marginally staffed Charlotte.
Much less so on playground.
People go where ATCs go, and SoCal always has at least three aiports with a Tower and Ground. Playground. I don’t know Advanced.
If people started doing ATC a Chicago people might follow. The region has 500 airports!
Adding to what others have said the SoCal region is also free which is a large factor
And because its big. It also has San Clemente. Why is military air base so attractive?
I was flying at San Clemente before live.
When I flew in solo, I loved going to the obscure far off island airports, flying over water makes it seen like something much more significant than SAN-PSP for ex. I can’t speak for everyone but that was just me.
HHR-AVX-NUC was my bread and butter route for a while.
The long and wide runway also may make it attractive since people’s beloved widebodies can fly somewhere-there are only so many places a 767 can land at in IF.
Fly Advanced.
We switch up regions daily.

Regions which have this requirements:
A problem is that ATCs leave rather fast.
People have to rack up 10000XP and landings first.

Thank you!
MaxSez: Why SoCal? Like moths to a flame! The 1730Q ATC in APP staffing chart tells the tale. At that time and for the major part of the day there where only 4 Advance ATC positions staffed in all regions. They where all in SoCal. The PG had 13 positions filled, 9 in SoCal and 4 in the Carib. There something about SoCal thats a Controller draw. This weeks Staffing App Chart also tellls a tail, ATC emphasis SoCal. Why buy another region if ATC services are solely vested in SoCal? Why fly another region other than SoCal if you want your Live monies worth? There is an IF reginal world to explore. As long as SoCal provides the “bestest” ATC service the moth will continue to hover it its glow! I’m with you @Josh_Mcmunn!
I have tried this before & got about 40-50 people to south Florida on PG before. I may arrange it again at some point.
That sounds nice. 50 is a nice number to fly without lag too.
Yea it was very busy with 4 airports open with tower & ground on each & approach jumping in & out. It was fun hope to do it again maybe this week.
