I tried to install AIG but unfortunately AI Manager doesn‘t accept my Avsim password (Cookies>Login). I‘ve tried it numerous times and I‘m a 100% sure I entered the correct PW. Any ideas?

Make sure you're using your Avsim File Library account, not your forum account, they're separate.

AIG plus GA traffic addon.......absolutely awsome

Wow payware? There's a free version on flightsim.to

 

Edit: Well, there was, I can't see to find it now.

Sounds impressive, "a world of difference in all possible ways", but I'm afraid that verges on hyperbole for what AIG does when I read it.  And yes, to each their own.  If and when a complete turnkey plug n play solution arrives I'll relook but for now ST solves the biggest issue very well with no fuss, no muss, no installing of different airlines, no issues w/ SU updates, no performance impact and will deliver a satisfying experience to most simmers.

Oh, I wasn‘t aware of that. Was driving me nuts. Thank‘s a lot!

So with ST you do not have the issues that AI planes spawn on the altitude level of the user plane? You do not have the issue that they take off from the wrong runway? That they switch livieries when sitting on the gate? That sometimes the total wrong livery is picked? I doubt that ST does anything better than AIG because they both depend on the exact same bugged AI engine provided by MSFS...

Then, regarding SU, it is also just a straight forward assumption from your side that ST would not equally be affected depending on what MS/Asobo is going to change in a SU. They might be faster in fixing it, that is all. But this would be something I expect if I pay for a product. AIG is for free, they have all "rights" to take a little longer to get things sorted after a SU. 

Performance is not an issue at all on my end, even on big airports. Hardly understandable for some, but there is actually something called "settings" in both MSFS and AIG, allowing you to adjust the traffic and the amount to your rig to have a setup with really low impact. 

In the end, I still prefer some work on my end over the totally ridiculous rendition of Simple Traffic. To me it remains a sheer mistery how an aviation affine person can overlook the immersion breaking models and liverys in ST...

EUR 11.00, I should have thought of this myself, could have made myself a small fortune. On a more serious note though, this might not be a bad idea at all. Just skip dinner one day and you won't have lost any money. 

If money is scarce, there's always this: https://flightsim.to/file/38054/simple-ga-traffic or this https://flightsim.to/file/6787/offline-ai-traffic-stock-traffic-bgl-fix

Indeed it might appear as a mystery, while in fact it's something described in psychology as cognitive dissonance. 

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/think-well/201812/why-many-people-stubbornly-refuse-change-their-minds

"In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. The discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a person’s belief clashes with new evidence introduced to that person. To reduce the psychological discomfort, the person will have to change either their mind or their behavior so that the inconsistency or contradiction is resolved, thus restoring mental balance and emotional harmony. That is, cognitive consonance."

Well, no hyperbole at all, it's simply true. AIG has better models, better liveries, more models, more liveries, more flightplans, has a controller of its own, it's free... so yeah, well, a world of difference in all possible ways isn't an exaggeration imho. 😉

O, well, wait, now, obviously ST is easier to install... but that's the only advantage, really. AIG wins hands down in all aother possible ways. 😉

It's not hyperbole at all. And AIG is simple to install, not as simple as ST, but still simple if you follow the instructions correctly.

In the video's I've seen it was adviced to set AI Aircraft Traffic Density to something like 50... Now I haven't tried the Controller yet but when I do I will check and see what happens when I set it to zero, 50 or 100.

 Setting the in game traffic % is used for the AI Offline traffic which is the default bgl traffic. When injecting traffic with AIGTC which is how AIG is meant to be used it's 100% done through the percentage adjustment in AIGTC. Now, if you use the fixed default AI traffic that has removed those hideous default airliner models so that you still see the default GA, you would set MSFS to AI Offline and then use the in game percentage slider for that traffic, it will have no effect on what AIG injects.

 No performance impact solely because it's just not displaying many aircraft. Sure, that is very subjective. We all have our own ideas on how much traffic is good enough or adequate. Same with the "satisfying experience to most simmers", thats your opinion. I would think otherwise, for sure it satisfies a certain range of users, but I wouldn't say even close to most.

Great, just as we want it, little to no performance impact.  Already, on the ground, and in particular at arrival airports, demand is such that the main thread gets hammered to the point of needing to dial back T-LOD to 120 in complex airports in large metro areas.  Those complaining of loss of performance after long flights who have populated every gate with aircraft--well that's their choice but don't complain about performance and look for answers from Asobo. Yes, that's my opinion and you can have yours which is no more valid.
