Introduction
THIS PACK IS NO LONGER UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 2023
Below is an AIG install for MSFS ONLY including offline AI flight plans - described below
FOR THOSE WANTING TO USE THIS WITH VATSIM ------ FSLTL has now released and provides higher quality models and liveries, purposefully designed for online use (more details below)
INSTALL
Download from -
Google Drive (~2.5gb zipped download, ~44gb unzipped)
Use an extraction tool such as 7zip or WinRAR to extract and drag all 3 included folders into your community folder.
If using VATSIM, the VMR file is included, just select it through the 'custom rules' menu in vPilot. More info is shown below.
NEVER DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THE GITHUB REPO DIRECTLY - ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM THE LINK ABOVE
MANUAL UPDATES
As I will no longer be updating this pack as of 04/11/22 you will have to use the AIG manager tool to manually update (available here)
USAGE WITH FSLiveTrafficLiveries (FSLTL)
FSLTL is released and is available for free through the FlyByWire Installer
FSLTL is a similar project to AIG, aiming to provide a solution to modelmatching for online networks along with providing a tool to inject live traffic to your simulator, directly from Flightradar24
This is a completely seperate project to AIG and is NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PACK (and will never be)
If you choose, you can use both FSLTL AND AIG together, as long as you place both VMRs in vPilot (make sure FSLTL is at the top so it has priority for models)
USAGE WITH ONLINE NETWORKS (VATSIM)
This pack is mostly designed for use with online virtual traffic networks like VATSIM however it will also work for offline traffic (described below)
A VMR File for VATSIM usage has been included in the folder (full permission given thanks to BritishAvgeek)
If you want to manually download the latest version, it is available here.
To enable the VMR file, just select it through 'custom rules' in the vPilot menu like the image below.
USAGE WITH OFFLINE TRAFFIC
You can now use the pack as offline AI traffic, with the usage of the AIG Traffic Controller
No support is given for the usage of offline traffic however from limited testing, it seems to work
PAYWARE MODELS
AIG has added payware models to the installer. For obvious reasons, these will not be distributed by me for free. Any payware models that i do purchase will be removed from the pack, before it is shipped, and no payware files will be uploaded to the final download, or to the github repo.
If you do purchase a payware model for use with AIG, you will have to manually update your install using the AIG manager (described above).
