1.1 Beta "Collect Flightplans" optimization

[jstnj]

AIG manager 1.1 takes forever to start up. This is due to multiple reasons obviously, but one is flightplan collection:

• Enhancing flightplan parsing logic. Add caching, possibly by storing a checksum in cache and skip all files that match?
• Ignore a mod folder once it has found files within it do not contain pertinent flight plan info?
• Do not perform flightplan collection at startup, let the user trigger it via the UI?

An example of inefficiency here is Giast's AI Ship mod, where AI manager iterates through the entire directory like this on every startup of AIM:

Code Select Expand

Collect flightplans from: D:\MSFS\_addonLinker\gaist-ultra-BETA\Scenery
    Files in directory: 2158

This goes on for over 2100 lines and adds about 7 minutes to the startup time alone

GAIST is excluded via Code from beiing scanned. Do you have a modified manifest.json for the package?

nope, untouched

[Kaiii3]

hmm, then something has changed inside the file. Can you upload it here?

[onkeldok]

perhaps GAIST is no longer excluded because it has a new name and a new folder?


Collect flightplans from: D:\Community\gaist-ultra-BETA\Scenery
