Thank you for explaining. I  thought Verification was automatic.

But the Question of ICAO code for airport was odd.. Every time, a new page with a new set of ICA code. I had to google it up.. In addition to CAPTCHA.  is all.

The thing is. Not the demand from a freeware vendor. I have been here for a while. Its the anxiety when other are ahead. 🙂

AIG has been around forever with previous sim's. It's always been the same interface from day 1. It's simple and easy to understand.. Nothing wrong with it. Problem is the end user. Maybe head to AIG forums and read some threads and one might get the hang of it.. Or not!

I don't know Manny, I have no idea how the verification works, I just paint planes! It might be automatic and the system is just overwhelmed. Also because of the explosion in demand it may be our hoster is limiting our ability to send emails. Just purely guessing, one of the admin team would know better.
Wasn't aiming anything at you directly, just some thoughts on observing a number of comments and threads in the last 24 hours.

You guys do your thing, I know you have your hands full. We will help out here on AVSIM as much as we can, obviously the last 24 hours have been brutal with the threads needing support. We got you.

It takes a little time to figure out how it works but this is what you get in the end. This is at Fly Tampa's Sydney. The 787 is MSFS's. The others are AIG. I only installed a few airlines to start so there's not a ton of traffic.

I don't know. I haven't had a chance to work with it much.

Haven't used it much yet but jetways are working with AIG AI for me.

There's even pushback for the AI planes too!

I’ve never understood how people find AIG hard to set up. I’ve used it for p3d and now for MSFS no issues.

I can understand why most it would be kind of confusing and difficult to setup. It was the same way for me when I first tried to use it. But after that, it's really easy. It's just the initial setup part that can be kind of jarring at 1st.

It took me most of a morning..  It was the different directories you have to get things to point to, and I had one of them pointing to the wrong folder, the two fairly similar programs, the odd box you have to tick, all the abbreviations I've never ever heard of.. 

I also didn't realise the manager creates its own folder which I should have been pointing at but wasn't.  But in the end it wasn't rocket science. And once it's set up its a pleasure to use.

I think that the documentation can use a little work but if you analyse the photos they use along with it, then it’s not that hard. Great program though, hope everyone of our flight simmer friends can get it working and get their airports alive again.

Do it slowly, don't rush, read the instructions provided, don't skip steps, and also look at the pictures in the manuals. You don't even need textual instructions.
