You were right about today's Q&A, absolutely zero feedback from them on AI, given there were multiple Q&A questions out there in the forum with a significant amount of votes, but hey! Top Gun DLC!

sadly as always... Let hope for next time and there have been some in the chat, so if Jörg reads it he will see them again.

I tried my best, but did not want to get flagged for spamming. This is such a hot button for me, I better go cool off before I get back onto the message boards. lol

For the next Twitch Q&A, please post a link to the thread so we can vote on it for the Twitch Q&A.

I had no idea that this is an issue the AIG team needed fixing until I read this thread now.  But I can help vote on this next time.

Another option is if an AIG developer also posts this in the Wishlist forum, but it’s written in such a way that the average user in MSFS will understand why it benefits them.  What I mean is a post similar in style and tone, to the FBW post that asked for changes to the weather radar.  That post by FBW garnered the most upvotes at the time, and the upvotes came very quickly, from the community.  What helped that FBW post more was that it was very well written, and it wasn’t overly lengthy either.  Then that thread was posted to multiple forums, including Reddit, and it was quickly upvoted to the top of the Wishlist. The result of that post by FBW is that Microsoft/Asobo is changing the SDK to support weather radar bitmaps for WASM in SU 10.

I’m sure a lot of people that use AIG, will also upvote an AIG thread, if it’s written by an AIG developer, but written in a smart way, like the FBW post.

there is already a AIG wishlist topic 😉 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/improved-ai-system-supported-by-aig/377764/156

Currently TOP17 in the list, and no need to put more topics into it since I have talked with Jörg already about it

Ok, cool.  If you have talked to Jorg about this, then that is really good. If you have a direct line to Jorg, that can help to move things fast as well, because I think Jorg has a lot of respect and understands the value of the AIG team.

sadly no communication over the last months, but I bet they have far more important stuff to do at the moment.

If you are in our discord server, we have there a dedicated area with topics that can be voted in the MSFS Forum

We can only hope that consistent gentle pressure to get working on the AI engine pays off and action is taken.
As you identified, the longer there is inaction, the more workarounds are created. That causes its own issues and stores big problems down the line.

Thank you for highlighting this and for all the work AIG has been doing to give us somewhat coherent AI traffic in MSFS.

Well they did say that they plan to do complete rewrite of the AI logic during the last Q&A. Not todays, but it was Martial who said, as far as I recall, that they saw so many issues with the current system that they decided a complete rewrite is in order. I just wouldn't hold my breath over it happening quickly.
