That's A nice post from you. 

@Kaiii3 will surely appreciate this positive respond. 

I also had some headache at my first install I must admit. Maybe he can do something about this.......I don't recall their is a guide or short youtube footage with the steps to follow for getting this to work.

But if it runs.....it runs....and runs....and runs....very nicely 🙂

AIG's AI Manager has a tutorial (Written) in AI Manager forum.  I agree that this is the best way to get more AI from all over the world continually updated with outstanding models.  I particularly like the FSPXAI models (Opt in paid models).  Very good, and also are updated very frequently.   If MSFS is missing anything (Besides everything working everytime), it is AIG.  I have hope for MSFT but now I spend 90% of my time with P3DV5.   I used to use Ultimate Traffic, and couple others.  Once I found AIG's AI Manager.  Nothing matches this. Of course this is my opinion and others also can differ.

 

I lost my hope for Simulation with complex Airliners in MSFS anytime near this year...

Maybe 2022\2023 or even not at all.y concern is they fully concentrate on this freeware scenery gateway and XBOX.....if this is done....the year is mostly passed by already. 

But....that's why we have P3D isn't it. This is their chance to keep us using it. And if such great add-ons like AILRP and AIGAIM are working well and kept getting updates....complex Airliners also....than I have no reasons to turn my back at P3D.

P3D is still my 99% used platform. This will not change this year. 

 

I too have recently seen the grandeur and almighty light of AIG!

Actually removed my Ulitimate Traffic Live, comes nowhere near AIG.

Is there a way to transfer an AIG installation in P3Dv4 to P3Dv5 or does one have to simply reinstall all in P3Dv5?

I recall @Kaiii3 saying there seems to be a way to spare downloading the textures and plans.

Maybe you contact him via his Support Forum. He will surely answer this. I tagged him here, maybe he can answer this here.

Yes you can. I have both p3dv4 and v5 installed currently and ai show up just fine in both As i have both installed currently there is an option when you load aig manager which version are you using. i did this and it all seemed to work fine

1) Make a backup of your OCI installation (just in case)

2) Start AIM

3) Select P3Dv5 (if you have still both sim on your system)

4) AIM will ask you to run a verify setup, do it

5) Thats all

@Kaiii3, it worked as described.  Thank you.

I followed the advice to install AIG outside of P3D so it went to D:\AIG.  I've spent the last 48 hours installing P3Dv5 and all my airports, aircraft etc. All it took was copying the add-on entry from v4 to v5. Easy peasy!

Timely post. I just installed AIG yesterday on my new P3D 5.1 install. I had some issues with the install but second time around worked like a charm and I'm loving it. Shout outs to the people that designed this and then did it. Thank you!
