PSA,  these airport mapping fixes work with FSLTL and AIG.

Now packaging all of the airport gate mappings and taxi fixes I create for third-party AI traffic solutions such as FSLTL and others into one download.  Just copy the folder for each airport you want from the zip file to your Communities folder.

Airports included in current version (Newly added in bold; check out changelogs tab below for details/changes on each):

USA:  KBNA-Nashville / KBOI-Boise / KCLT-Charlotte / KFLL-Ft Lauderdale / KHOU-Houston Hobby / KLAS-Las Vegas / KLIT-Little Rock / KMIA-Miami / KMCI-Kansas City / KOKC-Oklahoma City / KPHL-Philadelphia / KPHX-Phoenix / KRNO-Reno Tahoe / KSAN-San Diego / KSTL-St Louis

Australia: YBBN-Brisbane / YMML-Melbourne / YPAD-Adelaide

France: LFLL-Lyon / LFMN-Nice / LFPO-ParisOrly

Italy: LIRF-Rome

Trinidad & Tobago: TTPP-Port of Spain

This is designed for use with AI traffic solutions like FSLTL and others and the standard default scenery for each airport.  For best results, turn off the built-in AI traffic within MSFS settings.  Assume this will not work with any 3rd party scenery for each airport (but try it if you're willing).

What this is:
- Terminal gates mapped to airlines using FlightAware data
- Terminal gate names changed to match reality and ground gate name markings may be added
- FEDEX/UPS and other cargo parking mapped to correct locations/airlines, if applicable
- Parking spaces resized to match aircraft size
- A few parking spaces moved or rotated slightly to match reality
- A few taxi fixes to try and keep the AI traffic from performing weird or unnecessary loops or paths to get to their destination

What this is not:
- No new or improved scenery/buildings/terminals (usually)
- Does not resolve poor MSFS AI behavior
- Does not resolve some gates not being used due to radius overlap (default MSFS behavior) (this can cause some airliners to park at ramp locations)
- Any AI traffic (e.g. MSFS default AI traffic, etc) used that does not include the ICAO code for the airline may not appear in the correct location.  For best results, turn off the built-in AI traffic within MSFS settings.

It's  a strange comment about 'not going back 20 years' with the textures.  2048 is quite adequate for AI traffic, and we can all see the benefits.

Sometimes it helps if many people KINDLY request features. @MarcG made a topic at their discord

It's probably a good idea to confirm this via thumbs up, or even better add another note.

Kind regards, Michael

So. The injector when overwhelmed with aircraft seems to love to just close. I had to dial back the radius a bit for it to stay open and injecting.

Just did this. Good initiative by @MarcG. Need more thumbs though.

Hopefully they'll add more airports in the future. Testing it at LatinVFR's KSAN, even though it's not supposed to work with 3rd party scenery:

EDIT: Got 4-5 AI lining up for rwy 27. They were told to hold short, even though there was no AI on approach. So I'll delete the KSAN folder and try again. 

EDIT2: Asobo's AI logic is just too frustrating. Yeah, I know, it's outside the scope of any 3rd party to fix this. It's just painful to watch though. At KSAN Asobo is running a dual runway operation - on the same runway. AI are taking off on 27 and landing on 09... 😖

I have both the injector folder and the models folder inside my Addons folder (linked to the community folder with Addon Linker) and I didn't lose the toolbar panel. What doesn't work for me is pressing r or x keys (with the injector window active), it doesn't do anything. I have to use the toolbar panel if I want to reset traffic. 

Same thing happened to me today.   I was landing in Winnipeg and there was a plane setting in the middle of the runway facing me. I couldn't remember which key to hit so I hit "r" then "x".

The plane didn't go away and I sliced right through it.  So I don't know if it works or not.  I realize now I should have hit "x".

I finally took the 36hrs to download every AIG airline available and using  FSLTL to inject.. Not bad.. Not bad at all.  The  FSLTL airlines and pulling from AIG is nice.

But if you don't use the FSLTL models you don't have the awesome sounds, the nice lights, the contrails.

Both are installed. From what I read the FSLTL  injector will fall back on AIG models if it doesn't have one itself

Oh, ok. Thought you were just using the AIG models.👍

No problem. The AIG models definitely work with the FSLTL injector  I'm seeing much more models and liveries at airports than with just the FSLTL models

Yeah, i don't do the same because I prefer my sim to load fast even if I have less models and repaints. I don't have the sim on an SDD so if I have both AIG and FSLTL models it takes an eternity to load.
