AIG AI Manager and Traffic Controller for MSFS

It’s being worked on. It’ll come eventually. You can look in their discord for any information. There was recently a discussion in there regarding this matter.

Thanks for the information, it’s nice.

Sorry, I don’t have Discord

We’ll keep our fingers crossed that it will be available in the near future

See you soon

Hello everyone! I have been using AIG to match liveries of the live traffic without any injection from the AIG traffic controller. I mainly use Heathrow, and with virgin Atlantic the last OCI had no A330 or a350. So I am getting lots of random liveries turning up. There a way to add these liveries or assigning these liveries?

Short answer is no…there are plenty of bugs in real-time matching (as it relates to the data received from FlightAware, the game’s source). Plus, you will get random planes spawning if you have your ground traffic set above zero (as the game doesn’t know what should be there and randomly spawns planes that fit in the parking spots).

May I enquire what could happen in scenario 6: Scenario 4: NO AIGTC, Traffic type in sim set to Real-time online, Ground traffic density in sim set to 0

Would the result be live traffic only with matching liveries from AIG

I have ground traffic set to zero to avoid random planes. But I guess AIG would need a new OCI file that includes virgin Atlantic airbuses (as the last one only had 787)

May I enquire what could happen in scenario 6: Scenario 4: NO AIGTC, Traffic type in sim set to Real-time online, Ground traffic density in sim set to 0

Would the result be live traffic only with matching liveries from AIG

The real time traffic would use AIG models and liveries if you turn “use generic models for AI traffic” on. With ground traffic at 0 the only aircraft you would see at the airport are active arrivals and departures.

Which is the closest it gets to reality with the correct liveries. Right?

It depends on where you are flying. The real time coverage in Asia is pretty bad. You could fly from Shanghai to Tokyo and only encounter 2 live flights. In Asia i would always prefer offline AIG traffic.

You can get better live traffic in the US but always hit empty parts of the map.

Keep in mind that traffic injected by AIGTC doesn’t generate random airlines at airports.

give me some more months and we can solve this issue as well xD

Highflyer already answered your question. For me, i’m very happy with Scenario 1. I used to use Live traffic before but once i started using AIG i turned it off. The Ai Generic models (that you have to turn on ) creep me out sometimes :slight_smile:

EDIT: Sorry meant to reply to Chaezaa.

New to AIG Manager. I installed every airline last weekend (overnight). The tutorial has “Repair Options” such as Verify-Setup, Reset-SimObjects, and others. I know I have many missing models; can some advise how often I should “Verify-Setup”? Do I also need to run all the other Repair Options on some regular basis?
By doing this, I am assuming that I will get the latest models installed.
Thank you

Plus, it depends on the time of day. I usually fly at night (locally). There’s plenty of traffic e.g. in the US and AUS, but our local airports in Germany are nearly dead.

That’s why I prefer AIG-generated traffic for now which provides nice traffic world-wide. Perhaps we will see time-shifted real traffic one fine day. The PSXSeecontraffic/RealTraffic combo provides such a time-shift feature but comes with a number of other issues.

Usually a pop up window appears when firing up AIG AI Manager that tells you when a new model is available. So it is basically sufficient to run “verify setup” only in those cases. In contrast, if new liveries are added or new airlines (or updates) are available, you wont be specifically noticed. But updates to airlines and novel airlines can be checked via the online availability tab.

Got it. Thanks!

I did the OCI-bulk install of every airline, but skipped all manual downloads.
I’d like to go back and download some skipped manual downloads, but I cannot figure how to do identify airlines with manual downloads. The tutorial makes reference to using this approach, but doesn’t explain how to actually do it. I figured it’s via the “Errors” tab, and I unchecked the “Hide (NO PAINT/MODEL)” checkbox, but there are hundreds of airlines.
Is there a list somewhere of all airlines that include/require a manual download?

I wonder where the MSFS servers gets their data from. Is it flightaware. If this is is the case then they tend to have pretty good cover across the globe

Yes, it’s Flight Aware via the Fire Hose API. Real Time delay is 5 minutes.

They use Flightware, but it is actually not nearly as good as Flightradar24 which also gets ground data.
