The software presented in this page is the only software approved for flying and providing air control services on IVAO. It is developed by the Software Development Department (SoftDev) at IVAO HQ level. It is therefore the SoftDev department that assumes full responsibility for any operating problem, compatibility and rights of use.

Similarly, the France division is not responsible for the development of the IvAc2 software, owned by a third party company external to IVAO, just as it does not ensure the development and updating of associated sector files.

For any questions about these software, consult the forum or write to the SoftDev department.
