hi guys,

don't know if its a problem or not but even with traffic setting in the aig manager set to 100% thre only around two A/C per airport. got a decent amount of liveries installed.

 

am i doing something wrong.

 

many thanks.

From their forum.

AIG Server Status (alpha-india.net)

The server issue has nothing to do with it. AI aircraft is being injected by the sim according to AIG flight plans and models. If you have all AIG flight plans already installed, there should be no difference whether AIG is online or not. You just cannot download new flight plans or models when AIG is offline.

You are starting AIGTC after your MSFS has finished loading and not before?

Most default MSFS airports do not have parking spots for the bigger aircraft. So, if you are flying regional airports you might just see one or two. Try a larger airport like KLAX or EHAM and you should see more ai.

 

This problem wont go away until we have a much easier way at properly editing all airport parking spots. Shame this is such a low priority both with Asobo defaults and even 3rd party.

With FSX we could use AFCAD to modify parking spots. Not only could we edit the size, we could assign parking spots to types of aircraft (GA, cargo, millitary) or even a specific airline.
I've spend quite a lot of non-flying time editing 'Afcad's.
Is the same possible with FSX? Off course the first problem is that some airports are encrypted so we would have to deal with that as well. It would be a nice gesture from third party developers if they would update their own airports with proper parking spots, including airline assignments.

If I remember correctly, FSX also had logic for the AI built in to pick the best parking spot if there was no close match available.

You can still update airports also in MSFS, especially default ones (a bit more complicated with 3rd party airports) using ADE.

If i am not wrong you can do sutch things with ADE ( Airport Design Editor )

cheers 😉

i all i have done is downloaded the liveries not to sure about the flight plan side of things here

Are you able to share how to accomplish this? Every time I've tried to edit parking in ADE (both default and 3rd party airports) I end up with issues. Example: When I edit parking for the default world update USA KDFW all the grass between runways and taxiways turned to concrete. When I edited parking for Flytampa KLAS the ground textures disappeared and only the underlying satellite image could be seen.  For both all I did was edit some parking and when I compiled selected yes when asked if wanted to build package to community folder

Once the servers are back online you will have to download the AIRLINES you want.  This will take care of liveries and flight plans.  Then you will inject that traffic using AIG traffic controller.  I suggest you browse the AIG forum to get a good understanding of it all.  http://www.alpha-india.net/

You could try decompiling with the MSFSBGLXML tool, make the necessary edits to parking etc in the xml file and recompile by creating a new project in dev mode.  ADE in its current state can't always deal with certain scenery elements, hence the get "lost" when you decompile the airport BGL.  ADE is designed for airport specific elements, but it seems scenery designers today are including much more into one single BGL file.

So, I repeat the question from @Dave_YVR above: do you actually start AIG AI Traffic Manager along with MSFS or do you think that after downloading liveries (and models) via AIG AI Manager, those planes will miracously appear in your sim?

I start AIG AI Traffic Manager, then MSFS. After I load the flight I check the AIT map and I see a bunch of airliners all over the airport area & region, but nowhere else on the map.
