In broad strokes, this is how I got AIG to inject GA traffic into MSFS, with AI aircraft set to Off and static aircraft set to 0.

1. Download and extract AI Flight Planner (AIFP) from http://stuff4fs.com/.
2. Make a copy of your traffic.bgl from MSFS and save it to the Flight Plan folder inside AIFP.
3. Open up the traffic.bgl file you just copied.
4. Under Flight Plans menu, use the Subset feature to extract flight plans for only the aircraft you want, for example all the Cessnas.
5. Make any changes you'd like to the remaining flight plans (frequency, altitude, etc.).
6. Compile the new BGL with a descriptive name (e.g. traffic_cessna.bgl).
7. Copy the new bgl back to MSFS and rename the existing traffic.bgl to traffic.bgl.aigoff if it already hasn't be renamed by AIG.

If you open AIG-FP you should see your new bgl in the list of flight plans (and no other bgl). As long as you set AIG-TC to use AIG-FP flight plans you should see GA traffic as per the flight plans inside your 'GA-only' BGL.

You can confirm this by picking a flight plan from your traffic_cessna.bgl and going to that airport in the sim. As long as your AI traffic is set to Off (so that only AIG injects the traffic) and traffic.bgl is renamed (so that your new bgl is the only one AIG-FP detects), you should see the correct aircraft at the correct airport, as per the flight plan.

If you want to revert the changes, simply remove your bgl (and if you renamed traffic.bgl to traffic.bgl.aigoff, change it back to traffic.bgl.)

Enjoy!

I want to install the AIG AI Manager,but i first have to move the Community folder to another drive where i have more free space.But the community folder is locked and i cannot move it.Any ideas?

You cannot move the community folder to another drive, only its contents. Move the contents to another folder on other drive and download MSFS Addon linker to link the files from the new folder to the original Community folder, as and when required.

Thank you very much.

Hm, AIM should only be injecting the AIG flight plans not the default flightplan.

Thanks for these simple instructions....Just a few questions if you don't mind:

1.  Would this need to be done for every GA aircraft you would want as traffic?  Ex...all 172's as one file, then all Arrows as another file, all Seneca's as another, etc...?

2.  How does ATC refer to these aircraft?  Are they given a random tail number?  That would be cool if so.

3.  Does an update to the AI Manager effect this in anyway, or is it pretty much set and forget unless there is a specific change I want to make?

AIG will inject the bgl if it's in MSFS. To confirm, place traffic.bgl in your MSFS folder and open up AIG-FP. You'll see that traffic file in the list of flightplans, along with all of the OIC flightplans that yo've downloaded. You can even view the details of the bgl file from within AIG-FP.

Not for me. It only injects the AIG flight plans. I need to enable the offline traffic option in sim to see that flight plan work.

Kai also said this should be the case.

1. When you use the Subset feature in AIFP, you can pick the aircraft to include. When I made mine, I created 2 bgl files because there were too many flight plans to compile as a single bgl: traffic_ga_cessna.bgl and traffic_ga_other.bgl. You can mix and match however you see fit though.

2. The flight plan editor in AIFP shows all of the info that ATC uses, including Registration and ATC Callsign.

3. It's set and forget unless you want to edit the bgl in some way. Plus, if you want to revert it, just remove the bgl from the MSFS folders.

But if the bgl is in your MSFS folder, AIG will inject it.

As a test, make sure that traffic.bgl is in your MSFS folder (and not renamed). Open up AIG and go to the flight plans. You'll notice the traffic.bgl file there, among the airlines you've downloaded. You can click on details (it will take a long time) to see a map of all the flights in the bgl. That bgl will get injected along with the other flight plans.

What my instructions do is edit out the airliner traffic from that bgl so that it only contains GA. AIG will read and inject the modified bgl that consists of only GA flight plans.

I have AI traffic off and ground traffic at 0, and was at the default scenery KGVQ last night and saw 2 GA aircraft on the ramp. If AIG is injecting traffic (remember, AI traffic was off and ground aircraft was at 0) then it must have injected them.

Is there anything I need to do other than move the file in the community folder in order to uninstall it? This is not a complaint but just that I want to try Simple Traffic,

Rename your traffic file back to traffic.bgl, if you opted for AIG to rename it.

It just needs to be out of the folder.

Where is the file? I don't think I saw an option to rename it?

In your MSFS folder, search for *traffic*.bgl* and if the resulting search shows something like aigoff as the file extension, then remove the .aigoff so that the filename ends in bgl.

You may have to turn on file extensions in File Explorer. To do so go to View, then make sure that File name extensions is checked.
