Of course I do not, but what do I care about some gigabytes of space? I have a 2TB SSD dedicated for MSFS, so I do not care if my AIG installation is 40GB or 20GB... Besides that, with your "approach", I would need to think about where I go flying, then fire up AIGAIM, select the correct airlines, install them and only then I can fire up the sim. Waaaay to cumbersome...

Good point. You have a lot of wasted time waiting for the ap to open, update, download, hangs, etc. Probably better to download as many as practicable. 😀

I'm a bit confused. If you run Verify Setup doesn't it just install everything there is anyway?

No.  Verify Setup updates the airlines you have already installed (plans, liveries).

Ah! So what you should do is install everything under the online tab before you run verify setup. That's assuming you want everything installed.

If you have just installed, you don't need to verify.  Verify setup is used to update data in case something has changed in your selected airlines SINCE your last download.  AIG Manager will tell you if this is the case and that Verify setup is needed.

clarification

What is more interesting to me is why Traffic Controller takes so long to load.  I mean, it already has the aircraft and it already has the flight plans.  What's doing that take almost 3-5 minutes??  I never really understood this.

That's why I launch AIG Manager and run a verification setup often. Not to mention the airlines flighplans to be updated. Am I wrong to think that the only way to keep AIG, models, liveries and flight plans is to launch it which takes ages?

Once every couple of months to verify setup, but it's faster to use the forum to keep track of new releases. You only need to keep AIG, models etc? Sorry, I'm not understanding that.

I doubt you go all over the world at any given time. So why waste the space?

 Because space is abundant, and cheap. Same reason why we install hundreds of airport sceneries around the world or dozens of liveries on multiple aircraft models that I might fly even though we only fly one at a time.
