Dear IVAO members,
Over the last few weeks the network team at IVAO have been busy upgrading the servers, hopefully you will have noticed the improvements in stability. However, we need your help!
We can only really test the effectiveness of the upgrades by placing the network under high load and therefore we would like to invite you to the “IVAO Stress Test” event on May 17th, 2013 from 17:00 to 20:00 UTC.
We would like to see if we can sustain 2,500 simultaneous connections with the peak hour expected to be 19:00 UTC.
This is your opportunity to not only fly with thousands of other pilots and experience great ATC coverage, but also make a positive contribution to helping IVAO improve the network for all our members.
our Network and Logistics team will be on standby to monitor situation and attend to any malfunctions.
As controller or pilot, join us for this unique event!

Hi All,
Regarding the ATC Bookings box... Prior to the change that was just made, it would only show bookings for today and tomorrow. This has been changed to two weeks.

Any problems or questions don't hesitate to contact your CA Web Team!
