 You could but it might break your AI Manager in that it will no longer know where your OCI install is located and want to download everything again. You won't be able to update either. There is a function I believe within AI Manager to move your OCI to another location but I've never tried it.

When I installed the oci package it was installed into my D drive (D:/aig-aitraffic-oci.) OCI installer created a link to my community folder. That main OCI folder is never moved or touched. All I did was remove the link that OCI created and used my addon linker to create one.

The OCI installer will continue to add content or updates to the original folder. I moved the two other folders,

aig-aitraffic-effects

aig-aitraffic-modelbehavior

from my community folders to the D drive and created the hyperlinks with add-on linker.

So far is working properly.

BTW, it's very important that the user install OCI into the correct location in order to be able to use the addon linker. I played with the move your folder feature, but that did not work well at all.

Space or no space, it's still unnecessary server load to download stuff you'll never see.

I did not archive AIG over server loads....

I uninstalled because at least at the time, it was too fidgety to install (many files refusing to install unless you try via a VPN) and the converted FSX planes seemed noticeably less compatible with MSFS than the alternatives. (wheels falling through the tarmac, etc)

The upside is that the FSHUD app greeted it like a long lost brother, and worked with it perfectly.

It also works flawlessly with GAIST, which oftentimes refuses to work with MSFS2024 without the intercession of FSHUD.

The downside is that even after months of use, AIG never stopped complaining about supposedly missing files, and I felt like I was constantly reinstalling things I had already installed multiple times. 😕

AIG is still worth it for me if you want broad airline coverage, but I’d avoid the full OCI dump unless you really need every region. I usually keep it focused on the airlines and areas I actually fly, then let FSHud work with that traffic setup, because it stays a lot easier to manage and update later. If disk space is your main concern, trimming the OCI install is the cleaner route than trying to move a giant install after the fact.

It works. I've done it several times. You have to look at your file structure where you move it to.

Perfect!

Sounds like a PIA compared to FSLTL's automated everything.

It is but I've found it worth the effort. AIG installer is a lesson in how NOT to build a user interface. It has to be the most confusing, backward UI of any software I've ever used outside my job at UPS - now THEY know how to create garbage UI's.

I don't find the interface confusing at all.

I think I'll just move back to BATC's injection w/ FSLTL models, and put BATC's parked traffic to zero and let FSLTL populate static aircraft.  Thanks for your reply on this...

This is why is good to open new threads. This installer has changed. I only downloaded one file from the avsim library. When I did this years ago, there were many files that had to be downloaded from the avsim library.

Downloading now and yeah remember that hell 😆 Watching the snooker so have gone for the Global Package as I never know where I'm flying until I load the Sim usually, hopefully be fully downloaded in a couple hours

Global took about 6 hours. There's only one sound zip file that it will download from avsim library. Check progress every 1 hour, just in case. 😀

Update: After you finish installing global there will still be 2700 mor FPs in the online section. Look for any private or corporate files such as AT-GeneralAviation(GA-P)_Summer_2025b1 if you want lots of GA.

This is what I've been doing for the last two days.

AIG is very straight forward, I don't know why people find it confusing.

Yes, it is. The UI have come a long way since first released. Now it's very simple to use and don't require anymore special downloads from other websites.

Mainly because of the comments by some!  I might look into it if Plan A fails.  Or perhaps FSLTL will find a work around.  I will even go back and have a look at default ATC for traffic and run BATC alongside like I do now w/ FSLTL.  

Okay, what software do I need from AIG, exactly?
