I have both and think that the DD version was much better, definitely no complaints at all. The Seattle Airports pack also gets you BFI, RNT and PAE which were all very much in need of some TLC.

Yes, his CYTZ is quite good. Plus the other airports he does all have sloped and rolling runways etc which is pretty cool in V5.

I have the Simaddons CYTZ and will try and disable it to get you some default shots. As for CYQA, here's a couple. If you need closer in or details, let me know.

Default?

Lol, come on. While I know that, we know that most users don't search the forums and it's very clear as well that many users don't have any idea if you have or haven't done the paint work or modeling yourself. I never said or implied that it was wrong in any way, it's just important for everyone to understand where it all comes from.

I just feel that it's important for others that don't know that he didn't actually make it himself. Yes, it takes a ridiculous amount of hours to create your own custom AI setup, I myself have one that I built and maintained by hand for close to 15 years until the AI Manager came along. But I didn't make any of it, I just put it together. The time and effort I spent doing that is nothing compared to what it takes for the guys who actually create the models and the repaints etc.

You gathered and put together yourself from the various freeware resources already available I'm assuming. 😉

Other way around, the guys at AIG are the ones who convert and update the various AI models for use in P3d etc as well as so many incredible freeware painters. If you had 500 liveries with FLAI, you'll have a couple of thousand from AIG. Plus the models will be more up to date than what was available in FLAI.

I've also just noticed while looking at the plans for someone is that nearly EVERY airline and cargo flight regardless of it's length and direction of flight operates at FL350, including turboprops! Keep your TCAS on and eyes peeled for traffic out there. 💩🙄

Try it and find out, it also depends on how much traffic you have. It all sure looks better with jetways attached.

I would skip it as it is just G-Sync compatible and not fully certified. The variable refresh rate only goes as low as 48hz. Just my opinion, but look for one that has 1-120hz and up, as there are many to pick from. Here's a good place to look if you are looking for G-Sync, which is an awesome way to go. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

Lol, AIG's AI manager... while it does work for online model matching, it wasn't really meant for that, so you may have to configure some of it yourself. You download airline plans/schedule because most users want it for the ai traffic and not for use online.

Because while it does work for it, it wasn't really meant for online traffic. Those that do want it for model matching also aren't the majority.

Best off to try the actual AIG forum.

The path would be different for each users system and where they have installed AIM as well as their sim. Also keep in mind that sceneries often contain their own traffic file which depending on their age might also be in fs9 format. Luis from a couple posts above may have a point regarding OCI and AIM with FSX. I left FSX long before AIM came along and have only read the inclusion of FSX in some of the update documentation.

WoAI uses fs9 traffic bgl's that will cause any and all FSX/p3d formatted traffic files not to work. Remove those archaic WoAI plans and also ensure that you have no other fs9 traffic files in your system (they are also a day off in the schedules) . You could also convert the older plans using AIFP, but why when you can just use updated ones from AI Manager. AI manager does work in FSX, but you should really check their forum, always go to the source.

Ok, so the new version has "some" multileg plans, but they are still garbage just duplicating the first return leg over and over. As an example, and I had selected accuracy vs quantity in the plan selection. We have a Lufthansa Cargo MD11 that does Seoul to Kansai return 7 TIMES a day, 7 days a week without ever going back to Europe. Or a Loganair E145, Glasgow to Stornoway 16x a day? The cargo seems to have gotten somewhat less ridiculous with less but still many Chinese national carriers that don't fly outside of China let alone operating between US Military bases in the US and still next to no UPS, FDX, DHL, Amazon. Looking at LAX on any weekday at 9am and also at noon with traffic at 100% and there's 40 aircraft of which 2 are international, the TBT should be more than packed. Southwest B738's are all lacking winglets, Alaska and United 737's are all still non winglet 737-900's. It's rather pathetic. Sure, there are some users that have had issues with the other options, but that IS on them and not the product but even so the other options are all still many miles ahead of TG and the best one is still vastly superior to both payware options and it's free!

It works alright but it's really not very good. It also really depends on what you want from your AI. If you just want to populate the skies with traffic that mostly isn't based off of real scheds with limited model variety and liveries then maybe it's for you. The plans are still horrible (every aircraft does the exact same 1 return flight a day 7 days a week) and lacking so many carriers. Go to any major NA airport and it's almost completely void of international traffic. There's really too much wrong still to try and explain. I install every new version that gets released just to see for myself but it has yet to do anything to impress me. Spoiled from years of good freeware I guess.

It just shows that it probably doesn't have anything to do with VRAM.

Agreed 100%, why people leave the OS on an SSD and put their sim on the nvme drive makes me shake my head.

In real life it differs some from country to country, but generally the lights are turned on during the day when the visibility is less than 3sm or the ceiling is less than 1000'ft.

It's not a layering issue but an elevation issue. Adjusting the airport elevation by a few inches with ADE can fix it.

Progress is progress, it's still awesome. You guys are doing incredible work.

I for one can't wait to get more airline traffic in AIGFP. Getting the traffic on to actual routes and away from direct airport to airport is a fantastic and massive improvement.

OTHH works just fine in v5. It's been ages since I did it but it was something simple like just adjusting the airport elevation and adding in the usual exclusions for v5 conversions to eliminate the default buildings and taxi signs.
