AIG Traffic Install Question

@Kaiii3, thanks for explaining how AIG works. Hopefully those reading this will examine their consciences and get their credit cards out.

You only fully appreciate what you have when it’s no longer available. Lots of people making a modest contribution goes a long way to ensuring AIG remains commercially viable for many years.

  • Thanks Ray, it is not just the servers, those are actual by far the cheapest on our bill. The raw-data is far more expensive to get and we use regular 100% of the donations to conver a big part of tho

    For those of you who have installed multiple AIG airlines there’s a very useful utility for checking the integrity of those airlines etc. Ai Companion will scan all the relevant files and report

Turning my iPad through 90° reveals the option. 🤣

When you installed the OCI, did you use the default path or choose a custom one?

Custom path, not even on the main drive.  The linking was automatic and seemed painless.  Just like an addon linker.  I didn't want to run into path issues, plus I use a 2nd drive for my addon linker anyway.  Basically I install to d:\aig_oci\ and it seems easy.

It’s the same on many other sites. They appear designed for landscape, not portrait. Makes sense as my laptop is 16:9, not 9:16. 😁

I'm blown away by the performance of this package. I1000 FPs and TC shows 80+ aircraft around me and I can't believe that the performance is the same as when I had 15+ airplanes. This is in NYC with SamScene3D NYC, several payware airports, moving cars, and boats, etc. This is incredible!

BTW, my fps are capped @30 and it's silky smooth.

A couple of questions as I mess around with this more:

-Sometimes the traffic controller program hangs for a long time.  I alt-tab, and I can see the window, but I can't tab to it (as if it is crashed).  It seems to come back eventually.  Everything seems to work ok so I just leave it.

-I keep getting prompted about making a regedit to fix the 256 path limit.  Do I need to do this?  I have the oci on a separate short path and drive and don't seem to be having issues (unless my first one is that).  I can backup my registry manually and make that edit, but not sure if I need it. 

-I have a few flight plan errors showing, specifically for Southwest, which is a big airline that I see a lot (oddly enough, very popular in the northeast).  I seem to be getting SW traffic, but not a ton.  I fired up KDAL and saw lots of SW so it clearly works.  Should I worry about these or just ignore them?  I did have some American Airlines errors, so I reinstalled the north america plans and those seem to resolve. 

Overall I'm impressed with the program.  Performance is really good.  I fired up JFK at 100% traffic and other than an initial hit when it first loaded (expected), it seemed very reasonable. 

I really like how there's general aviation options too.  Not everything flying out there is an airliner.  I'm still installing all the various options.

When are you loading the ap?

I found that if I open the ap after msfs loads, I have no issues. At first I had some delays. Then, they went away.

I now can start the ap at the same time as msfs with the addon linker. So far, so good!

Yes I learned to wait to start the AIG app until after MSFS loads and I've got my flight loaded.  I think one of the videos recommended that.  Starting it early seemed to cause more issues, but I still got the freezing for a bit.  It might just be doing work in the background.  I've just started messing around with it.  I don't like the idea of a program that looks to be frozen, but it seems to come back with time.  

Of course I just start up in the 172 and instantly start looking at traffic, rather than going through checklists to start the engine.  I'll have to try a real flight.

Keep at it!

Don't worry about the errors, just open the AIManager once a week to check for updates. 

Maybe @Kaiii3 can help you with this one?

not needed, but can not harm to enable it 😉

I used to use AIG then changed to FSLTL as it was simpler.  I found AIG took ages to check for updates and ages to start the traffic injector.

I reinstalled it again last year to test it being used by Beyond ATC and all the airliners landing gears were missing so I removed it again after running the various model and texture tests with the AIG app.  Like others said I only used FSLTL when casually flying around in VFR without any flightplans (which BATC requires).  Might try AIG again.  Previously I had it working fine with Addon Linker and could disable it if I didnt want my sim taking 10 mins to start.  It was installed on an SSD drive

I decided to download the lot (Global + GA) and it weighs in at 82gb, will have a play tomorrow. IIRC I just need the Traffic Controller running in the background and NOT the Manager, right?
