We've been tricked, We've been backstabbed, and we've quite possibly been bamboozled. 😢

I knew it was too good to be true!

However, Microsoft is actually engaged in discussions with some airlines to license their logos so that we can actually have AI with the correct liveries. Obviously, doing these licensing deals takes time so in this case, patience is a virtue.

I still don't get why 3rd party pay ware developers have not stepped in.  Or why they are having so much trouble.  In theory all we need are models and liveries and .cfg files that match real world aircraft tags.

Agreed. MyTrafficX for FSX worked perfectly for me. Would love to have it or something similar for MSFS.

AIG is working on it, though they're also providing flight plans, not just the models.

There are a lot of issues with MSFS's AI and airports that is slowing down progress.

This is like a women, tease, tease, tease and than...nothing!

I can only wish...:-)

Well this was not what I expected, and I'm glad.

Less of the casual sexism please.

There are issues with the way MSFS handles AI traffic, true, but I have to be honest: AIG's progress to date has been, well, glacial. They aren't starting from scratch, because they are largely converting models and flight plans that are already working in P3D. I understand that Rome isn't built in a day, but other big projects that had existing P3D incarnations (e.g. Henrik's shipping mod) have already come out for MSFS.

I'll be grateful for whatever we can get, whenever we can get it, but I wish I could better understand what's taking so long.

We probably also need corrected parking spots at airports. I've seen a few big internation airports like Heathrow and Schiphol that are riddled with GA, while in realtime most GA would avoid those places. AI DC-6's also shouldn't park at gates as a rule.

They want it to look good too. But the problem is a majority of airports in MSFS don’t have proper parking, even the hand crafted ones.
Either parking spots are too small, or too big, the wrong type of parking. Things that lead to planes not being able to park or even spawn at all. A majority of airports don’t have cargo parking, which makes cargo flights practically useless.

Some airports planes will outright refuse to leave the runway/takeoff because of misplaced or completely missing hold short points. LPPT is one of these, as is KMDW. Planes will just land and stop right in the middle of the runway and will stay there for several minutes until the sim purges them for inactivity.

Kaiii has been posting updates here and there on the AIG discord server. Plus bigger updates on the AIG forums. You could probably ask them for more detail on why it’s taking longer.
