AIG AI Manager and Traffic Controller for MSFS

An announcement on their Discord server from Kaiii3 for those of you not on it …

Guys, do us a favor an DO NOT start AIM until we report that the servers are back! Each start of AIM generates traffic at the moment we can no longer handle!

Roger. Waiting for fixing the server.

If you still have them in the recycle bin, do this:
Re-install them in community.
Compress the whole file with winzip or similar.
Now you can move them from community to your folder of choice.
Unzip them.
Tachaaan! Now you can link them with addon linker

Using LittleNavMap, I can see the groundspeed of the AI aircraft cruising in the flight levels. They seem really low, and it’s not because of winds aloft. Speeds around 200-250 kts for every commercial jet aircraft. Should be 400-550 kts depending on the winds. For example, my current ground speed in the CJ4 is 474 kts at FL430, and the Delta 757 following behind me is 205 kts at FL410. A 757 should be closer to 500 kts. There’s something wrong with these cruise speeds.

there’s lots wrong with the Ai engine in the sim. Too bad there is nearly nothing AIG (or anyone else) can do about it until the devs actually care about one of the key “features” of their game.

The speed of the Delta 757 is probably correct for airspeed at that altitude. (airspeed not groundspeed)
I would suggest LNM may have an issue, particularly so if the 757 is staying with you.
You would have to have blown by it in seconds if not so.

I did blow by it. It’s not a LNM issue, it is an issue with speed of the aircraft. As DownLow70 mentioned, it’s could be an AI issue within the sim.

That’s default AI.
The sim AI engine has nothing to do with AIG
If I remember correctly, and if its the same as FSX & P3D (it has been a while), the speed of the airplane is in the route plan, as the aircraft conforms to departure and arrival times in the plan.
205 kts airspeed would be about .78 M (estimate only) at that altitude, what was your airspeed at the time?

AI aircraft are kind of all over the place. Sometimes i have AI that doesn’t take off and keeps “driving” across the map.

This morning i was flying in Japan and i had a Korean 737 at FL400 on my side. It stayed on my TCAS all the time.

Unfortunately, Microsobo are not interested AI traffic.

They consistently ignore it in the live Dev Q&As.

I love it when they try to land in the long-stay car park :laughing:

Don’t think that because they didn’t answer it in the Q & A it means they aren’t interested.
If you look at the Feedback Snapshot, you will note there are two items there in the Wishes Category.

Item #9

and Item #17
Not sure if this is a valid link, but here is the line off the list:
17 Improved AI Systems, Supported by AIG? Under Investigation 2022

Both are scheduled for release this year.

I was doing 474 kts groundspeed. That was M0.74. Maybe 210 KIAS. FL430. LNM was also reporting my groundspeed as 474 kts.
I blew by a 757, that was at FL410. LNM said the 757 was doing 210 kts groundspeed. It was going slow as molasses. I would guess it was almost stalling, but I have no way to know its KIAS.

Some quick calculations:
You were 474 ground speed, at M.74 which is ( rough estimate only) about 210 kts IAS.

At 210 kt groundspeed, the 757 at FL410 would be about maybe 100kts IAS. A real life 757 would not even be at that altitude at that speed.

I’ve never seen that with AIG.
Does that occur often?

Some further research in the AIG config file for a PW equipped 757 (which is what Delta operates)
[REFERENCE SPEEDS]
full_flaps_stall_speed=115
flaps_up_stall_speed=135
cruise_speed=488
cruise_mach=0.8
crossover_speed=280
max_mach=0.86
max_indicated_speed=330
max_flaps_extended=225
normal_operating_speed=360
airspeed_indicator_max=513
rotation_speed_min=145
climb_speed=210
cruise_alt=36000
takeoff_speed=145
spawn_cruise_altitude=38000
spawn_descent_altitude=15000
best_angle_climb_speed=190
approach_speed=145
best_glide=210
max_gear_extended=250
spawn_altitude=15000

So again this is quite odd, and I’m not sure what is going on!

I’ve often seen airliners tooling along at 250kts G/S at altitudes of around 5000ft - correct speed of course for that altitude. But why would an airliner on a route of 2000 miles and nowhere near it’s dearture or destination be at that level? All this seen in LNM with AIG running.

Presume that refers to both Manager and Controller programmes?

Have to go into all my addon profiles and delete! The one time an addon manager programme is NOT useful!

Actually it’s easier just to take AIG out of my addons storage folder - it’ll no doubt throw up an error but it’ll serve as a reminder.

Hope we get it back soon as it works really well for me.

You don’t need to do that. Just don’t run the AI Manager.

Also If you use AI Traffic Controller it will still work fine and it does not connect to servers, so it is not a problem.

This was the first time I noticed it. And it wasn’t just that one 757, it was all the commercial aircraft as far as I could tell (per LNM). Later in the flight I blew past a Southwest 737 that was showing 211 kts groundspeed. I would believe it based on how fast I passed it (260 kt closure).
Yeah, when I do another flight, I’ll see if the issue repeats.

Yes, I deleted everything even I emptied the recycle bin. I lost more than 300 airlines, each one with their different liveries and airplanes.

But in less than 24 hours magic happened :dizzy: thanks to Windows File Recovery APP :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Windows File Recovery - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store the best is that is FREE!!!

Afert learning how to use the APP I was able to recover more than 40,000 AIG files, everything in its corresponding folder!!! So from literally having NOTHING, I have again all my AIG AI TTRAFFIC!!! :raised_hands:

The Windows File Recovery APP is amazing. To delete files having an empty recycle bin doesnt mean that you have lost everything… not for this APP… Im telling you guys, I was able to recover EVERYTHING!!! Im SOOOO HAPPY!!! Simply Awesome!!! :star2:

It works with windows 11 , shows installed traffic, but…I opened the traffic manager to add more airlines…there are none showing. Same happens in P3D
