I didn’t quote you.
Misunderstanding with AIG was found and resolved. Previous topic closed. More details here.
What’s your plan to replace the 757 models AIG is not giving you? There are no other models I’m aware of.
High probabilities FSLTL will be released without them. If these planes can be acquired in some other way, like redone by AIG themselves for MSFS, we can make a compatibility patch that looks for them in the community folder and connects to the live AI if they won’t do it already. In this case, end user will have to install both mods at the same time and make some choices in the app. Doable, just more time needed.
Basically, FSLTL can work with any MSFS compatible models, there aren’t many, so we’re asking the rights to make conversions ourselves to make full coverage faster. So, you have mentioned the “Plan B”, if FAIB denies, in this case we won’t touch these planes, obviously, but as soon as they will be available for MSFS(or someone makes them from scratch), they would be compatible with FSLTL, you open the app, select a folder, click “OK”. That’s it, it’s flying.
This can work also with payware add-ons, you should be able to switch between variants of the same craft etc.
When you say “any MSFS compatible models” do you mean literally anything or just models that are designed for AI? I ask because if FSLTL does work with any model, I can see peoples frame rates tanking if they use the wrong model type around a busy airport. A
Yes, I mean literally anything. If it just loads up in MSFS, it’s good.
EDIT: Obviously if it was poorly made, with insufficient LOD or crazy vertex count, it will alter the FPS, just like anything else. If there are no animations, they won’t magically create themselves. But it will work.
Ok. Some careful choices on models used will be essential in that case. Using flyable models for AI at an airport such as Heathrow for example would probably kill performance. I know from experience that 100 plus AI aircraft parked on aprons with taxiing models, moving jetways and road vehicles causes frame rates to plummet in other sims and I cannot see FS being any different.
So might we conclude that AIG and FAIB are no eager to approve the use of their models ? That would, however, be such a loss reputation, IMHO.

FAIB request is still pending, we have not receive an approval or denial.
I hope FAIB response will be in the affirmative as they have myriads of pretty AI models.
I they say no it would literally kill the project for now as they have models for the 737s and 320s which are flown the most worldwide
FAIB Designer is part of the AIG Community and we have not seen him in a very long time - sadly he was not even active in his own forum, so could be that there will be no response for a longer time.
Well we simmers have been quite exciting for such an amazing AI project to add an extra realism to the awesome FS2020. I hope it won’t vanish.
I assume they could us e the default a320 that is already in the game.
Additionally, they can do what live traffic mod does in xplane, if 737 are missing, have the closest look alike spawn instead.
Avg user can’t tell difference.
That idea sounds very slapdash, this project of FSLTL is a perfectionist one as far as I’ve been following their work in progress.
FAIB have all variants of Airbus and Boeing narrow bodies, which I believe will turn FS2020 into the second best thing next to the real commercial aviation.
Not sure what use all these variants will be if we dont actually know precisely what variant will be used for a particular live flight.
All live air traffic trackers as FR24, Planes Live, and similar very easily show the real flight variants that live FS2020 AI traffic need to know and that info seems more than enough.
A319/320/320neo/321/330/340/350/380 or B737/738/739/757/767/777/787/788/789/787-1000 very easily retrieved.
Sounds good.
Apparently you don’t realize that they haven’t given permission yet, and may never do, so a moot point.
