   Status: Resolved We received reports of Expert Server not accepting new users due to a bug exposed by a recent internal rework to improve resiliency and fix occasional server crashes. This also resulted in the disconnection of some AP+ aircraft. The bug has since been patched and will be deployed to all servers throughout the course of today. Apologies for the inconvenience!
