AIG AI Manager

Hmmm.... I loved to use this free addon. And I express my respect for the work done. However, I believe the tool has been engineered to death, somehow. It got unnessesarly  complicated and I hesitate to do any upgrade since months.

In AIGAIM - OCI (P3Dv4/5 only) tab there is Reset SimObjects button. What does it do exactly? It resets but where, how and what for? When shall I use it?

Thanks.

it will set all internally all OCI SimObjects as outdated. This will cause a complere reinstall off all models/FDEs on the next Verify-Setup run. Installed Fltsims/Textures are not effected by this.

So, will this method change a FP from BGL to AIGFP? I have been wanting to update mine, because I started using AIG AITC about half way through downloading FP's so a lot are BGL's that may change to AIGFP.

no it will just "repair" all OCI SimObjects.

currently there is no way to "bulk" convert all BGL to AIGFP. But you can do this with a little work yourself:

1) Remove all AIG BGLs from <OCI>\Traffic Files\Scenery that are Summer 2020 an newer

2) Remove all ESAI BGLs

3) Start AIM

4) Install all not installed airlines

!!!DO NOT RUN VERIFY BEFORE INSTALLING ALL AIRLINES AGAIN!!! This will remove all unused OCI fltsims 😉

What to do with those bgl-based before Summer 2020?

Thanks.

no bennefit in converting to AIGFP, because they do not use any AIGFP exlusive features

Where did it become necessarily complicated? It behaves more or less the same as it does since version 0.9.x. Load it, check if there are any new flight plans/airlines or updated flight plans, OCI Install, ... ready.

I found a problem with AIGFP files. I run P3D v5 at 30fps with the option in FSUIPC to delete Ai should the frame rate drop below 30.

But this only works with Ai generated by BGLs. With AIGFP aircraft they are deleted but then immediately regenerated again.

So for now I keep to BGLs for all the major airlines and use AIGFP for the small ones and Corporate jets. That combo works very well.

Oha....that's important information. As I use this great function too to maintain 45 FPS for vr usage. 

I was already tinkering to switch to the new AIGFP way. But this I will postpone now a bit. 

Thanks for sharing Ray.

Indeed, that fight between spawning and deleting can cause stutters and performance issues, I'm therefore using bgl-based traffic because of it.

@Kaiii3

Is there a possibility to use AIGFP in a good combination with reducing traffic based on FPS via FSUIPC? 

Because that functionality is great and does help us users a lot controlling and maintaining stable FPS

Yes, I noticed this. I ended up turning off FSUIPC limiter, and found that FPS was the same or better than with it on. As far as I could tell  anyway.

Could be a good Idea if only traffic slider % in Traffic Controller worked properly. Some hubs like LHA might need adjustment of traffic % and not only due to possible performance consideration.

It’s causing stutters because CPU1 is probably hitting 100% and Ai generated by AIGFP cannot currently be deleted. Hopefully Kaiii will come up with a solution.

But AIGFP files are great for the smaller airlines and especially corporate jets. It’s so nice to see Gulfstreams and the rest at airports like LFMN.
