Getting too busy for us that only have time for simming on the weekend. A email pre-departure clearance system might help.

More staffing would actually be more beneficial.

We have the highest traffic levels the network has ever seen at that moment (see the graphs on peaware). We're doing our best to bolster weekend staffing.

In the mean time, have you tried Western US? It's not quite as crowded, and there are 1000+ non-towered airports, with the same number of towered airports as ZLA.

The IMC in SoCal over the weekend was very attractive. The controllers were amazing with the amount of traffic they handled.

" We have the highest traffic levels the network has ever seen "

I was thinking about this the other day. I fly pretty much every day and have for over a year now. I was thinking the server has come close to double the online users as a whole. Especially in the evening. But now even during the day on WUS it seams like a lot. Not stepping on everyone alot, just more than a year ago. It's exciting to watch the server grow.

Feels like real metropolitan airspace. It’s awesome.
