Another user who switched away from MT6 to (briefly UTL) before finding AIG. There's nothing better and constantly updated by enthusiasts. Whilst it's free I made a contribution to find their servers and hope many others did too.

Just contemplating ditching MT6 for this. Asides from the .exe installation, do I need to run the SDK?

Pretty sure that isn't required Rick. It will take a while if like me, you opt for all airlines. Have a book to hand. 😁 The improvement over MT6 will astound you.

to throw my wild card in.

I use realtraffic combined with lorbi live traffic.

you need to spend a good few hours setting it up first time with the correct codes you'll find its near on 100% accurate traffic as it imports it from ADS-B 

if anyone is interested I can send over my settings for Lorbi.  I currently have 9088 different liveries / models installed.  I dont think that can be beaten for accuracy.. world wide.

thats a screenshot below of how clever it is and with Lorbi working with it you can make sure the a/c taxi to the gate  and only show traffic within certain radius / altitude

I for sure am interested in your settings.

Thanks, Ray and HNY too. Yes, have read virtually everyone giving it the thumbs-up. MT6 is a bind to configure, good as it is.

@vc10man, Rick, MT6 was good once but it was a bugger to configure and Burkhard has had health problems which has prevented him updating it. There really is no comparison now.

we recommend to have the latest SDK installed, this allows AIGAIM to convert texture files for the best performance. Nothing you need to do, just point AIGAIM to the paths in the SDK.

I'd say AIG uses the SDK, in the AIG setup, it asks where the folder for SDK is.

Want to thank everyone here for the great advice. I think I found the reason for my loss of AI including static aircraft at addon airports to ORBX GA Traffic from other threads I found from people who experienced the same issue. I'm going to do some hard research into the above freeware addons.

Meanwhile I am going to uninstall FTX PNW. Honestly, I'm considering uninstalling all the ORBX Global stuff including Vector and just using the default scenery. I fly primarily Jet liners and the default doesn't look so bad from the flight levels or down low for that matter with the sliders properly adjusted. I also have a ton of MSE photo scenery from my FSX days installed on an external drive. ORBX seems to mess with so much stuff in the sim but that's a rant for another day.

Just wanted to thank everyone who took time to reply. Very informative.

I stand corrected. 😊

I used to use MT6 and loved it. Then when P3Dv4 came I switched to UTL - and sort of like it? ease to install and use, yes. Easy to update it? A big no-no for that one. I spent hours updating and 'upgrading' schedules and models, until I finally ditched it in favor AIGAIM about a year ago. This is BY FAR the best, most comprehensive, most easy to update AI package there is, and it's FREE. In my opinion there is 0% reason to look at any payware competitor to AIGAIM.

And let me add an interesting fact to this: it is quite rare that in this community nearly everybody agrees on something. But, this is IT. Rime on time again, AIGAIM is (nearly) unanimously praised for what it brings you for the grand price of $0.

Interesting. I bought UTL few months ago and kinda regret it to be outdated. How about the performance? One thing I like about UTL seem to be me kinda light on my system on heavy airports and detailed scenery (aka EDDF) or maybe is light because is missing many airlines? 🙈

So many more airlines and aircraft actually displaying using AIG traffic compared to any payware package.
With 700+ airlines installed in my sim, I'm using a powerful traffic limiter to delete aircraft not heading to my destination airport to keep performance high. It's great to see smaller / more obscure airlines represented.

UTLive still installed on my PC to give me some GA traffic, MAIW also installed to give me some military stuff.

So AIG doesn't have GA?
