Active Controllers?
To get an overview of the online pilots and active controllers, you can use “The eye of IVAO” (IvAe).
What is IvAe?
IvAe was designed to replace ServInfo, which gives you detailed information about the Network Status of Online Networks like IVAO. The Eye of IVAO is a program which does that even more in detail and easier, the only difference you will notice is that this program is only available to get current Network Information for IVAO. Beside this, IvAe has several advantages than ServInfo. It downloads data for the Network even faster, shows you the Online Traffic on a 2D and 3D Earth where you can enable Texture and Sunlight. New Features like an Individual Friend List or a Search Engine for Routes from the IVAO Database are also included.
To run IvAe properly without any problems you should have a computer with at least 1.5 GhZ, 512MB of RAM and a 64MB Video Card.
The Program is available at http://www.ivao.aero/softdev, there you will find a section called IvAe on the left side. By pressing the field you will be forwarded to the page where you can download The Eye of IVAO. Please remember that IvAe is still BETA, what means that it is recommended to post any problems you have with IvAe in the official support IvAO forum.

You can find this in the METAR.
