• Additions - 27 Feb 2022 : Optional wingspan modification update
  • Compatibility with the latest FSS CYVR update.
  • Enhanced taxi and runway logic. All taxiway instructions should now use the shortest possible route and not take you to any active runway or extended detours.
    • Also means that this enhancement becomes not just an AI enhancement but a general ground operations fix/enhancement.
  • Dozens of new parking spots were added in South Terminal/FBOs.
  • Added gate 23 A&B for WestJet Encore Ops.
  • All approaches tested and working.
  • Approach lights fixes/enhancements
  • VASI light position adjusted
  • Various other Airline Code Corrections

• Information - Optional Wingspan Modification Update

  • This modification goes outside of the scope of support that AIG can provide. If you choose to use the modified wingspans in this file, it also means that the AI traffic flight dynamic changes which could cause issues. (In theory)
    • However, on that note, I personally haven't seen any noticeable changes to the flight dynamics (After all I am not an aerospace engineer, just a guy that flies planes. I couldn't care less if the guy beside me takes off 200ft shorter than usual)
  • To reset all wingspans back to the "AIG official" wingspans, simply run AIG AIM and hit the "Verify" buttons. 
  • If you run into any issues with AI traffic, discontinue use of this modification, and verify the files through AIM before reaching out for support in the AIG forums.
  • Wingspans have been considerably reduced in the bgl file meaning you can't use this update without replacing the wingspan values, otherwise no planes will park.
  • The side effect of this is more AI planes will park and spawn everywhere in the world, not just at YVR.
  • The potential issue for this is that you may run into a position where airplane wingspans contact/conflict with one another. These are just somewhat arbitrarily reduced numbers.
  • In general, wingspans were reduced generally by 6m or more (I generally did 20-40ft depending on the airplane). Overall this means that a 737 will still park in the smaller gates while 777s will park in larger gates. 777s still wont fit in 737 gates.
  • The reason for this wingspan mod is that ASOBO chose to add a 6m buffer zone for ground support vehicles, this wasn't there in FSX. As a result, planes are restricted by an additional 6m (20ft) in spawning versus FSX.
    • This mod is simply a short workaround until ASOBO decides to fix AI logic regarding this. I don't plan on keeping the parking space radii at the values I have them right now, but this is the only compromise I can think of. 
  • Again, to reset wingspan values go into AIG-AIM software Tool--> Settings --> AIGAIM OCI --> Verify Setup
  • The original version is kept in case you do not want to modify wingspan values; the file is the version 1 file and does not include the ground modifications.

Installation

To install just navigate to MSFS\Community and drag and drop all file contents to the folder. Replace files when prompted

To install the wingspan values, drag and drop the contents of "mod wingspan" into "...\Community\aig-aitraffic-oci-beta\SimObjects\Airplanes" or wherever the AIG setup is located\SimObjects\Airplanes.

This will not work without purchasing the FSimStudios scenery.
