OK, thanks Ray.
FSUIPC shows 108 AI on my side, but I believe gates are quite empty for a Sunday in summer.

David, I’m not sure how you get 108 as I have the slider at 100% and have installed every airline. Do you have a commercial version of LIRF or is that the stock airport? I have a commercial addon.

Have you used Ai Companion to check the schedules against actuals? Kaiii3 hinted default AFCADs may not have suitably sized gates but your count suggests there are plenty of Ai being generated.

Yes this is a commercial LIRF addon.
New attempt, 109 :

I am not yet familiar with AIG so I've probably done something wrong.
Will give a try to this new Companion! 🙂

David, there's little to configure with AIG. You just install the airlines you want and if you then set Ai % to 100 it will show all available Ai.

Install Ai Companion and open Flight Finder. Filter for LIRF and Sunday. That will show you a list of Ai that should arrive and depart at the times shown. Identify a suitable flight for the local time.

Then switch to Live Traffic and see if that aircraft appears in the list. If it does then all is well and good. If it doesn't then you're probably best asking the question on the AIG forum where the experts reside.

It isn’t the taxi speed itself that’s the problem but the lack of intelligence when trying to depart the active runway. That can only be fixed by LM.

Yes the core issue is intelligent runway exiting but when the AI is being unintelligent and has just missed a turnoff it’s better to have it taxiing at a higher speed to exit the runway at the next turnoff.  Again not a perfect or full fix but it definitely helps.

What utility do you suggest?

I believe that would come down to your ade/afcad. Properly setup size wise and those gates will be full and traffic will offload to the remote stands etc. My custom LIRF is often quite packed.

I have the MK Studios LIRF. Maybe there are others. I’ll check mine tomorrow.

Thanks Ray and Nemo,
I'll certainly try it.

[Ray Proudfoot 8,926]

Dave, thanks. Reading the readme I'm curious about this statemen... "Increase AI timeout period to 11min".

What is the effect of this?

Hi David,

This is a view of T7 taken at 15:10 Local on Sunday. Plenty of Ai as you can see. A count of 59 Ai on the ground and 13 airborne.

Does anyone know how to backup all my AIG AI Files.  I have over 32gb of AI files/models (I did download it all over few weeks).

Lets say I want to reformat my sim drive and put AIG AI files into a different ssd and I want the sim to pick up my install.  Does anyone know on how to do it

[Ray Proudfoot 8,926]

@Skywolf, there should be a top-level folder for AIG. That contains everything related to their aircraft, plans etc. The only other reference is an entry in scenery.cfg which should be near or at the top. Just change the path in scenery.cfg and all should be fine.

I've simply copied the whole AIG OCI Folder to a safe place.

that can end up with some problems, as the addon.xml does currently work with absolute paths, this will be changed later in Version 1.0

The Addon has no reference in the scenery.cfg itself, OCI is added to the Sim using the addon.cfg
