    You do not need an ATC addon, you get your instructions from Live ATC.  The real world pilots will answer of course, but you just do the same. Just like in the video.

    It is a mind shift, thinking out of the box 😉

     

    I can vouch for Kiek on this.  I have Live ATC with Real Traffic and PSXT.  You might want to experiment with it.  It changes the experience when you hear real time ATC and you're immersed in it in your sim...

    No, dozens of third party airports, about half a dozen planes, REX weather, profiles for TRir, StreamDeck, drivers for radios and GNS displays, quite a lot that I assume certain files would reside outside of the community folder and reside somewhere inside the main MS directory. 

    So sorry to hear this, Rockliffe.  I use MSFS Addon Linker to keep my sceneries, aircraft, utilities separate.  SU9 appeared to cause mine to CTD just two days ago, but the Addon Linker at least allowed me to keep all my third party airports and planes separate as I went through a reinstall.  I have the steam version, and you might consider downloading steam and investing in that version of MSFS 2020.  It appears that people have fewer problems with that version.

    I wish you all the best.

    I went looking for my C-172 G-1000; it has turned up missing in the sim, and so I tried to open Content Manager to see if it's loaded.  My Content Manager just sits there, greyed out with the white circle spinning. 

    I went looking for my C-172 G-1000 in my files (MSFS Recommended Content/Official/Steam), and it's there, but I can't find it my hangar.  The Classic is there, but the G-1000 is not.  And now Content Manager won't open.  Strange.

    Any ideas?

    Have you got AIG installed?

    Yes, I do.

    The default value for automatic scans is true, unless PSXT cannot find  that MSFS is installed, then it will switch them off.

    In your case (a non standard Steam installation)  you should not use that automatic scan mechanism, but define the lfolder0 parameter.

     

     

    Thanks. Will do.

    KVNY is a good one because of all the GA and business jets.  AIG has plenty of business jet models.  I have observed there for a while and listened on LiveATC.net.

    I'm doing something wrong, then.

    Just for information. In PSXT business jets are defined small aircraft and are always shown (if there are any). 

    GA aircraft are defined to be light aircraft and only shown if the light checkbox is ticked (and if there are any of course)

     

    kiek,

    This is my parameters.xml file.  I have not been able to point my PSXT to the folders that contain my GA aircraft/liveries. (I use MSFS Addons, by the way):

    AIG doesn't currently contain GA aircraft models.  However, all GA aircraft will be seen, but will show up in MSFS as Cessna 208s or PC-12s - the smallest models in AIG. I fly mostly GA out of small airports and the patterns are often full of GA.

     

    Thanks for the reply.  I'm going to have to find another airport other than Van Nuys KVNY.  I chose this one to test this because I have LiveATC and I'm on ground frequency listening to all this activity, but I never see any corresponding GA aircraft.  What's a good one in the UK?

    Once AIG is installed and set up, you only need to run AIG Manager occasionally to keep the models & flight plans up to date.  You do not have to use the AIG Traffic Controller.  Just run PSXT & RealTraffic with MSFS and you will see traffic move as their real world counterparts do and that traffic will be the models from AIG.. 

    Thanks for your reply.  The only thing I'm confused about is the GA aircraft.  The IVAO folder that I understood that AIG uses does not contain any GA aircraft. And I was told by the gentleman who goes by the name of kiek over at the PSXT forum that I would have to insert the GA aircraft in order for them to show up and fly according to RealTraffic flightplans. What I hear you saying is that the GA aircraft that PSXT & RealTraffic use are the already-installed ASOBA GA aircraft.  Is that the case? 

    Thanks again.

    All GA are already displayed by PSXT/RealTraffic/AIG.  GA will be displayed as the smallest model in AIG which is the PC12 and C208.

    When I fly these days, I use PSXT and RealTraffic.  I haven't included AIG because it has its own Traffic Controller, and Traffic Controller moves those aircraft around in a random fashion, and they are not following real world flightplans via RealTraiffic; at least that's my understanding.  Am I missing something?

    I just installed PSXT version 31.0.12 beta, and RealTraffic 9.0.176.  It's a whole new world.  You add in LiveATC, and this sim is a lot of fun.

    Before that, I was enjoying AIG with the traffic controller.  But the IVAO file does not include any GA  ai aircraft.  I would like to figure out how to inject GA aircraft for use in PSXT to go along with the commercial aircraft that PSXT uses.  

    I asked the question over at the PSXT forum, and it was suggested that I ask the question here.  Has anyone had any success loading GA aircraft into MSFS so that PSXT can recognize them and inject them so they can be tracked like the commercial aircraft are tracked?  Can they be placed into the IVAO file? 

    Thanks for your help. 🙂

    I just installed PSXT version 31.0.1 beta, and RealTraffic 9.0.176.  I previously downloaded IVAO Altitude (ivao_x-csl) and used that with AIG Traffic Controller and I have that installed.  But that IVAO file does not include any GA  ai aircraft.  I have now been using PSXT and RealTraffic almost exclusively, and have enjoyed it.  I would like to figure out how to inject GA aircraft for use in PSXT to go along with the commercial aircraft that PSXT uses.  Is there something in the instructions that I've missed?

    For some reason, I can't bring up an AI Online option in my "Aviation Traffic Type" settings in "General Options."  I only have "Off" and "AI Offline" options.  I seem to recall having some sort of AI Online/live traffic option some time back.  But now it's gone.

    I've loaded up AIG's Traffic Manager and Traffic Controller, and it's been great, but was attempting to run the sim without setting up the AIG Traffic Controller, and simply seeing if I could go with the sim's online traffic, taking Kaiii3's advice from another thread and do the following:

    Set Live AI/Online AI.

    Enable in the Sim. 

    Do not start AIGTC.

    But I don't have Online AI as one of the options. 

     

    Any advice?
