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

Just got Porter! 

Hopefully WJA JZA and ACA aren't too far off!

You are just having way too much fun. You'll need to cut that out now. 😁

I hope ACA comes soon, too. BWI is on their route and I still have a couple of empty gates left.

 You can always just add the Air Canada group as well as Westjet/Encore yourself. The AIG OCI is really fantastic for those that don't have an AI setup, but the big problem with it is that it isn't teaching users how to anything themselves.  So many awesome Canadian repaints are right here https://atco-repaints.com/

Air Canada and Westjet plans aren't super new, but they are far superior to anything else out there and it gets them into the sim.

Several other sites for all kinds of paints:

Juergen does paints for the world and has some really obscure ones sometimes http://www.juergenbaumbusch.de/

Site for a lot of smaller airlines as well as storage for Urmel81's payware ADE file revisions, which are really great work https://jcai.dk/

Kyle Meek's site for a lot of heavies, especially cargo ops, with some regional operators https://kyles-ai-works.com/

And slightly off topic but if you're looking for business GA there is no better site than https://aibizjetproject.wordpress.com/.

Tons of plans, single or multi-week, and updated frequently. I've currently got about 40 of his plans with everything from Boeing Executive BBJ's to Boutique Air Pilatus PC-12's running around my sim.

One last site is One Click Hangar https://oneclickhangar.com/forum/index.php. Morten does a lot of repaints for the above site and has repaints for a lot of GA aircraft, even 172's (really) and seaplanes.

BTW, none of the above sites require registration for access. Also, for complete transparency, none of these are OCI ready so it's all manual install.

Hope this helps!

I use AIFP and adjust the activity for the plans from 1-50% for everything except the big fields, use 1-40% for them. With the P3D 25% for commercial and 20 for GA I've got a lot of traffic but the level feels about right for me.

All this is a very new for me -- a different territory.  Can you do that adjustment easily or semi-automatically, using AIG still to find and build the traffic system for you? 

If not then surely that would be an excellent feature to be added to AIG.

I would go on the Forum and suggest it, but if it is easy enough to do in any case that seems a bit daft.

AI Flight Planner allows changing activity levels for either one BGL or multiple plans in bulk. For example, the MAIW Matrix utility's flightplans (a military AI version of AIGFM) automatically installs dozens of plans. But since they were ported over to P3d4 from FS9, the activity levels often make no sense when compared to real world levels. I changed all of the files at once with AIFP so that they had a suitable range.

With respect to traffic density in P3D......I have my AI airliner traffic set to 100%, and everything looks normal to me. In other words, one AI plane per flightplan (just like the real world). That is exactly how I want it to be. No more, no less.

EDIT: I do not use the One Click Installer from AIG. Since 99% of my flights are around the UK and Ireland, I prefer to "hand build" my AI environment.

Right, thanks. That seems reasonable. But I used AIG to download and build the BGLs. Does needing to use AIFP on the plans mean I need to find and download them myself? If so, what am I using AIG for? It was to avoid the hassle of finding them, downloading them and compiling them that I welcomed AIG.

Or can AIFP change the activity levels in the BGLs produced by AIG? I must admit that I've not read the manual yet, but I assumed it worked on the original flight plans before compilation into BGLs.

AIFP can randomize and then recompile any bgl traffic file replacing the the original in the process. Very easy to use.

Hi Pete,

It's easy, load a traffic bgl from any folder, this one is from my AIGAIM folder which I have on my non-P3D drive. Flight Plans then Adjust Activity Levels:

Then adjust away and select type of adjustment. I use Random and then tweak selected airports using the Time Table function several lines above. Then just compile and you're good.

This does not bother AIG at all. I did suggest adding an activity adjustment to AIGAIM on their forum so hopefully we'll see that. Hope this helps!

Ah, so it works on the compiled results of AI Manager! Thanks. Then it becomes much more attractive!

Yes, that would be nice.

Hi MDFlier,

One thing to keep in mind is that AIG's default is 1% activity for every flight plan so if you have your traffic at 50% then that's what you'll get. For me it's too much traffic, at places like Atlanta or JFK you can barely get a clearance, let alone taxi or takeoff. And the performance hit is massive.

I use AIFP and adjust the activity for the plans from 1-50% for everything except the big fields, use 1-40% for them. With the P3D 25% for commercial and 20 for GA I've got a lot of traffic but the level feels about right for me.

[EDIT]

The problem I was asking about is solved. i had an out of date version of AIFP!

Thanks!
Pete

I had an out of date version of AIFP, but having updated I do see, in the Bulk menu, an entry to update activity levels.  Good so far. But, selecting it,  the dialogue is headed "Update elevations for Add-on Airports in Traffic files", which is odd and worrying.

If i assume that's just a minor error and means nothing, and select my AIGM traffic folder, I get the option to set min and max but no randomize, which is what I want. (Also you can't get out of that prompt by pressing its Cancel button).

Can you help please?

Pete
