Thank you for AI Manager, AIG. I have AI. Lots of it!

One click installer only works with Summer and Winter 2018 packages.

It must have been blind luck that every one I selected was from 2018 or I might have had a problem trying to get the 2017 ones installed. You seem to know a lot about it, Are you one of the devs? 

I am thoroughly enjoying this. I started a flight at KIAD with the time set to 7:30AM tomorrow morning and just sat there checking out the traffic. United 2021 and United 221 roll by. Their flashing red labels say KIAD-TJSJ and KIAD - EGLL, respectively. I fired up Flightaware and searched for "Ual 2021" and "Ual 221". Yep. Both are supposed to depart KIAD around 8:30AM tomorrow. It looks like daylight savings time tripped up ESP again, but wow... the correct flights for the time and location? That was a very unexpected yet welcome surprise.

No, but I did and continue to test each of the releases. AIG guys don't mess around, their plans are pretty spot on, sometimes to the level of charter flights, serious business is happening, 🙂

I think the destination map based on google maps and Gantt Chart are a pretty nice touch in the interface.

I stand corrected, there are some FPs from Winter 2017 which recently became available for one click installer. I wasn't aware of it.

Question: When you are looking at the airline detailed information, is the "Utilization %" tied to the airline traffic slider setting? Meaning that if a model says "41%" in utilization %, does the traffic slider need to be >41 for that aircraft to appear?  

That's the next thing I have to figure out. The proper traffic setting. I'm getting too much now. It's ridiculous. hehe.

AI Manager is really awesome. I got rid of TrafficGlobal and UTL and honestly don't plan to go back.

Hi - I installed many AIG/AIFP plans several months ago using the AIFP compiler.  Would I have to start from scratch in order to start using this new tool or will it work going forward to update/add new schedules?  

Thanks!

Too bad it doens't have Air Canada, Jazz or WestJet

I feel you but I am lucky enough to have built those myself from AIG flightplans. As the IAM (OCI) versions are created, I am removing my versions so that I will be in sync with the AIM stuff going forward. There is a list of airlines that are scheduled for the Winter 2018 release available here (requires Alpha-India account).

As of last night, AIM has provided 313 AI airlines.

In terms of performance on P3D v4, what is the difference between the new AIG and UTL. I understand UTL works outside of P3D and injects AI, is that correct ? And does AIG still impact sim performance with the traditional BGL files ?

AI newbie question- does this app/process use P3D as the base program? I'm using Traffic Global and it has an entire user interface/install program that comes with it.

The application installs its own directory, placing all new models, repaints and flight plans automatically in it. When you start using AIGAIM, you will have to delete the older flight plans (the ones which you're now installing with AIGAIM) which were placed in the directory of your choice. I wouldn't delete any of the models, repaints that you've manually installed for the AIFP plans as not all of the 2016/2017 packages are yet available for AIGAIM. 

Let me know if this wasn't clear, I'll be happy to answer more questions.

I don't see any impact, as a matter of fact I've seen an improvement. Granted, I don't know whether the improvement is from drastically reducing the number of older AI models from UTL or from simply going to 4.4 - I've done a lot of work with switching to AIG around the same time frame as I went to 4.4.

The simple answer is no. Give it a shot, install one package and see what it does for ya. If you do so, make sure to disable this airline in the Traffic Global.

installing it now, do i set the traffic density now with the P3D integrated sliders? 

 

[Nemo 1,305]

Is there a list which airlines and which aircraft are available?

Uninstalled TG

Installed the AI Manager. Not feeling the one-click love.

I think I just figured out what you're paying for with UTL and TB.

I think I'll stick with TG for now. Maybe try this later when I have more free time.

Cheers,

Mark
