I am aware this has been asked many times over the years, however I assume it can change. What day and times are the most active? I brought pro simply to be able to play with other players and get that more realistic feeling, however even when being on the featured airports for the day, there is always at most 10-15 planes. Is this the average? Other than events is there some sort of time where it would be busier than this, or is this just the normal?
My timezone is BST just to add on. Thank you in advance for replying :)
First of all, most obviously, if you’re grade 3, I’d suggest flying Expert. It’s by far the most active server, twice and sometimes thrice as active as both Casual & Training combined.
Usually, on expert, there are a few times a day when traffic spikes. This could be either because of an event or because ATC opened at a featured airport with an already large amount of traffic.
This could be anytime a day, frequently on weekends, but follow this rough pattern:
Yes, basically what @whyevenbothernaming said! Expert is the most realistic, and Airports on the ATC schedule are only staffed on the Expert Server. :-)
Thank you very much! I played IF 4-6 years ago and was rather young (around 12ish) and obviously didn’t have a full understanding of absolutely anything 🤣 but i’m enjoying learning about everything there is to do with IF and seeing how far it’s come since then. I’m still learning the basics and do struggle with some things, but I got pro about week or two ago and have had some fun flying!
