I'm sure it's due to all the newly-implemented chemtrails in 2024.

While some IRL pilots might be manipulating their content for clicks, I find it ludicrous to claim that "long-time simmers" who have never flown an aircraft in real life would have a better grasp over whether a specific FS aircraft performs in a realistic manner than someone who actually handles that particular aircraft day in and day out.

Well, they certainly don't seem to have achieved what they want in 2024 so far...

They've already announced a sale - now, it’s only $324,999,999.99!

IT'S! NOT!! A!!! GAME!!!! 😁

And then it will be pushed back another week, and another, then another month...until, finally, they'll just roll it into MSFS2024. 😁

Especially the drunk drivers put out by nVidia.

Just like real-life pilots! 😁

This would look great if a) I already had an AM4 system and b) if MSFS was the only system-taxing app I used. Unfortunately, my work involves Photoshop (and, occasionally, video editing), and I notice that the Gamers Nexus review revealed that the 5800X3D's performance in Photoshop was actually worse than the standard 5800X. Since I'll need to build an entirely new system, I guess I'll have to either go with Intel or wait for the next gen (and hope that we don't have a whole new supply-chain/crypto-mining crisis driving prices sky-high at that time).

All right -- I decided to blow away everything and start from scratch. As I now understand it, to set up AI Manager, I only have to unzip the AI TrafficController files to a directory of its own, and enter that directory in the AI Manager settings as the "AIGTC directory" -- but I don't actually have to run Traffic Controller and configure it first, just have the directory folder with its unzipped files in place. Is that correct? More importantly, when I run the procedure to create the OCI directory, am I supposed to point it to my Community folder, which, in my case, is something like C:\users\regnaDkciN\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_843543q2yuh\LocalCache\Packages\Community or should it be placed somewhere else? I notice that the video recommended for me has a more-direct path, x:\games\microsoft flight simulator\packages\Community. which doesn't seem to fit any pattern I've seen as to how to access the actual Community folder. Confusing the matter is that my installation directory for the program is H:\MSFS, inside which there are two folders, "Community" and "Official" -- but that "Community" folder is empty and, I suspect, something I may have put there over the past year just to store the contents of the real Community folder when I had to empty it out, as opposed to being anything that's an actual part of MSFS. So, is the proper step to point it to the Community folder in AppData, as I have it above?

Well, after a career in software development, I doubt that I'm "someone who isn't computer savvy," but I'm completely at a loss here. I first installed AI Manager, following the instructions in the manual...but, on page 5, I find that it appears that I need to have AI Traffic Controller installed by that point I tried installing TC, only to find out on page 5 of that manual that I should have an OCI installation so I can point TC's settings to its directory -- but there isn't anything where it's supposed to be. So, I'm half-way through installation/configuration of both programs, and I seem to have hit a complete wall and have no idea how to proceed. 🤬

I have P3D, but removed it from my system when I had to do a clean install of WIn 10 a few months ago. Would it be advisable to reinstall it and set up your product with it first, to work out any bugs in getting it running, before the MSFS-compatible version is released? Or would that just complicate matters?

The $64,000 question, for me, is: if the new Dovetail simulator is a MS Flight-clone, as most people here are speculating, are they still planning on licensing and selling FSX:SE? Or will they let the license lapse and tell people who find their new product too simplified and game-like (if, indeed, that is how it turns out), "well, you can always shell out $200 for P3D if you don't like what we're offering"...?

Where is it? Can't find it on your site.

If you had finished reading the OP, you'd have realized that he was having the same problem with Aerosoft's A319 -- except that his memory problems with the A319 appeared much sooner.
