• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX AI title and aircraft.cfg (SimConnect_AICreateNonATCAircraft)

Guess it will be the same for FSX and P3D. When I create AI traffic with SimConnect I have to pass the title from the aircraft.cfg (docs). So far I was under the impression that hence the titles are unique / have to be unique. Otherwise, how would I distinguish two AI aircraft with the title?

Now I have found that for my WOAI aircraft the same title is used multiple times within one aircraft.cfg. I wonder if this is correct and how I would be able to create AI traffic for both variations? Or is my assumption wrong?

[fltsim.135]
title=AI C550 ABP
sim=Cessna Citation 2
model=
panel=

[fltsim.291]
title=AI C550 ABP
model=
texture=Generic1
sim=Cessna Citation 2

All SimObject titles are supposed to be unique. If one of the user aircraft has a duplicate title, FSX will complain and give you an error message. The aircraft.cfg you got those entries from is badly formed. You'll need to rename the title in order to uniquely address the aircraft.

If you want to scan your FS installation for duplicate titles, you can use Duplicate Title Finder (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/duplicate-title-finder.151/).

Thanks, just to reconfirm. The title is not(!) case sensitive, isn`t it?
