Hi lderoo,

You could try regenerating the default ViewGroups.xml. This file is located in %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v6. You can either delete, move, or rename the file to regenerate.

Hi stmad12,

They are two different software API's both provided by Microsoft SDK.

Hi stmad12,

Could you try setting your Control Input API to Direct Input? I believe in v4 the default was Raw Input. You should be able to find this setting under Options > Controls > Other. Note that you'll need to redo any control bindings if you change this setting.

Hi shrizzou,

Is your host sending position in ECEF coordinates? Could you post a Wireshark screenshot of your Entity State PDU?

Hi Patrick,

Could you post the errors you are seeing?

We ship both a Debug and Release version of the SimConnect.lib. Perhaps double-check the correct one is being linked to your VS Debug/Release configurations.

Hi pine-nut, There are a couple options. One option would be to use a material script to change the texture: https://prepar3d.com/SDKv6/sdk/modeling/3ds_max/modeling/modeling_materials.html#MaterialScripting https://prepar3d.com/SDKv6/sdk/references/variables/material_variables.html You could also u...

Hi wesleylu, The Events section toward the bottom of the SimObject API Overview article shows how to define settable properties. EVENTTYPE_NORMAL can be used to define a property that is settable. Properties can be set (or triggered) via the TriggerProperty call, a button or key press, or any other ...

Hi wesleylu, Yes, the CigiArticulatedParts.xml file will bind the PropertySet and PropertyGet properties to the corresponding articulated part ID. On the Host, the PropertyGet function will be used. On the IG, the PropertySet function will be used. If PropertySet is not present, Prepar3D will attemp...

Hi Invertedfilter,

It looks like the P3D host will require at least one Start of Frame packet when in asynchronous mode. Does sending a SOF packet with the IG Mode set to Operate have any effect?

Hi Invertedfilter,

Could you try a non-zero value (up to 65535)? Zero is used to represent "null" entities. I'll make note to update the documentation.

Hi Invertedfilter, It sounds like you may need to configure your Entity Type ID's. Which version of CIGI are you targeting? If you are using CIGI 3.3 or less, you'll need to define your EntityTypeID's in the DISEntityTypes.xml file. We do not ship default values for these. If you are using CIGI 4.0,...

Hi shashanksnayak, Unfortunately, I do not see a way to Start/Stop the CIGI Host/IG via SimConnect or PDK. The IG view control packets require an associated entity control packet, which explains why you see different behavior when not sending them. Are you running the SimConnect application on the I...

Hello pine-nut,

SimConnect cannot be used to register a new custom property. This would need to be done via RegisterProperty calls.

Once registered, you should be able to use the functions you mentioned above to get/set data, similar to native simulation variables.

Hi Michel, The new lighting system does not use the exclusion system. Instead, there is a VisualModelBinding element to configure which models are used for the Airport. This can also be used to disable a light's model: https://prepar3d.com/SDKv6/sdk/world/scenery/scenery_overview.html#VisualModelBin...

Hi maddog453, Can you verify that you have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables for 2022 installed? They should be listed in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. If not they can be downloaded and installed from the Microsoft website. Here is a link to get you started: https://learn.microsoft.co...
