It’s not an either-or, as well. FSLTL has its advantages, but I still use AIG a lot.
Biggest issues with AIG are just the initial download process (if only the plane/livery producers would agree to a single distributable!) and the user interface, which needs a revamp desperately. (The update process for new liveries is… obscure! At least there’s now a tip sorta explaining where to go.)
I use both, and like both. AIG is the clear winner if you’re flying outside of real time, because flying on the other side of the planet in FSLTL results in pretty dead airports as it’s the middle of the night over there. AIG adapts to sim time. And there’s more variety in planes/liveries.
FSLTL is 1,000% easier to set up, more performant due to all-native planes, and has a cleaner user interface. But AIG is an amazing collection of airliners and bizjets, and the biggest disadvantage once you manage the install is the really slow initial startup.
This issue started recently. AIG Traffic keeps disconnecting during an IFR flight…I was wondering if AIG conflicts with other third party addons like GSX or third party sceneries…Today at LFPO AIG Traffic disconnected after few minutes of starting the flight, then it disconnected again before taking off, and disconnected again after take off and then again and again. The AIG traffic screen becomes black every time AIG traffic disconnects. It is quite frustrating to keep connecting AIG traffic numerous times during the flight. Would appreciate advise to make this issue go away.
And to me it happens in the last two or three days exactly the same on ifr flights. It is usually disconnected after the middle of the route. I have not GSX. I will try to delete the folder AIG-AITraffic-OCI-Beta_CVT_ in Community to see if it will change anything (18.7 GB!!!)
Yeah, Sim different has significant issues with the number of objects and as we have all added addons, most of us are experiencing significant fps drops and stutters. Hope Asobo addresses this. For now I am not using any AI.
has been there some weeks already, but you can ignore it. The feature enabled with this will become default in the next updates (new MSFS native Sounds)
FYI I have just started using the latest version for TC 0.6.1.1 and been moving across airports back and forth - deleting & injecting traffic without a single crash so far and only ever had to launch the TC app once. So this is far more stable than before.
I havent tested during mid flight if it crashes yet but thanks for improving this. I have unchecked all ground services and using 60% traffic if anyone is interested.
I still have FSLTL installed as I was thinking the 2 conflict but so far so good with this version.
After the new update; I have noticed three things: 1. TC does not disconnect anymore. 2. It is taking quiet sometime for AIG planes to come to life. 3. No planes are landing; only takeoffs. I use offline traffic. Anybody sharing the same experience?
Using an Asobo default airport, rather than a third party addon to avoid confusion, in this case EGKK, I have AI aircraft landing, the usual go-arounds and aircraft getting culled mid flight, so pretty much the same as before. I still get AIGTC occasionally freezing (time not updating and AI activity frozen but app still running). Time for AI planes to appear at airport about the same as before, in my case a few seconds.
At some airports like EGLL approaching aircraft are still turned away and never make it to the airport, so no landing aircraft, same as before.
Sometimes AIGTC loads but no AI aircraft ever appear, even though the app is not suspended and the time maintains synch with the sim time. Restarting AIGTC is then necessary.
There are times when I can run AIGTC on flights lasting for many hours and even days uninterrupted and it runs flawlessly, other times I have to restart it several times during a flight. The experience is random, just like MSFS.
Yes this is annoying, given the amount of time TC takes to start. It would be less annoying if there were an option to completely disconnect from SimConnect and then reconnect, avoiding all of the loading of the flightplans etc.
