I wouldn't load every flight plan unless you really want global coverage all the time. With AIGTC the startup time is tied to how much it has to parse, so with all world plans installed a five or six minute load would not surprise me.

For FSHud, I would still use method 1 if you want the denser active traffic: AIGTC running with the FSHud integration enabled, and FSHud set to External. Then trim the AIG install to the airlines and regions you actually fly most often. To me that is a better compromise than accepting the quieter internal AIG option just to save startup time.

I've tried both method:

1) Launch FSHud, then AIGTC, then FS2024 (in FSHud checked External source, in AIGTC checked "Use with FSHud")

2) Launch FSHud then FS2024 (in FSHud checked "enable AIG" and nothing else)

1) method seems to inject more active aircraft than 2) method. Parked aircrafts are about the same. The problem is that AIGTC takes 5:52sec to load! I've installed all world's flightplans. Is it normal? is there a way to reduce its loading time?

In my opinion is better the 2) method untill not find a "fix" to reduce loading time of AIGTC.

Are you just sitting there watching the progress bar while TC scans the flightplans? I start TC after MSFS loads, then I go do flight preparation. By the time the aircraft is ready to push and start TC has usually finished loading. Until that point I'm not looking out of the windows, so it doesn't matter if there's no traffic around.

Alternatively, you could check the AIG option in FSHud ATC traffic settings - this should load traffic in more quickly. Some time later you could uncheck AIG and just run TC if you're concerned about resource usage.

These days I use FSHud Traffic, which populates the airport very quickly, although I also run AIG TC to get its GA dynamic traffic and any flights that FSHud Traffic might miss.

I installed the basepack and then everything tagged as an airline. It comes out to 55GB and 44,000 files. msfs2024 is much faster at loading than 2020. Takes under 2 minutes to load in and that includes GSX which is over 40,000 files as well.

In effect you are right, during cockpit preparation you can wait for AIGTC to load.

Mine takes about 3:50m including GSX, very heavy in my opinion, too many objects.
