Calling SimObjects by GUID ...

[roberto52]

I had success placing Fsx Simobjects with Simconnect AICreateSimulatedObject.

But when calling them by Guid following this thread:http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4414 i have no results.

First I open a new folder in Simobjects sub folder GroundVehicles : let's say My_New_truck with a sim.cfg .
In this folder I open two empty folders (Model and Texture)
Then I copied and pasted in the sim.cfg

[fltsim.0]
title=SceneContainer VEH_Air_PickupUS_Blue
model=
texture=
visual_model_guid={AAC710F6-68FB-4E7B-BF1D-458843B34C56}
ui_type=SceneryObject

[General]
category=SimpleObject

[contact_points]
destroy_on_impact=0

Then i call AICreateSimulatedObject(My_New_truck etc.....).
Well, no way to see it , always getting exception 22.
I tried several ways ( and others object and their GUID)changing the title category, ui_type and so on and naturally when directly calling VEH_Air_PickupUS_Blue... it appears!

Dont know where i'm wrong ( and i'm wrong i know).


Thanks in advance.
Rob


P.s. working with Acceleration Pack and SDK

Did you create empty 'model' and 'texture' folders for your dummy object like Arno did to solve his exception 22?

Yep...i wrote it in my post.
It would be:
Folder [My_new_truck]
Subfolder Model (empty)/Texture(empty)
sim.cfg

I knew it was a silly problem...but working with many sim.cfg opened i did not see that....... the
title=SceneContainer VEH_Air_PickupUS_Blue
must OBVIOUSLY be the same as the folder i call and it was not.

Now it's OK. Thanks for your patience.
Rob.

P.s.
If anyone before
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all virtual flying people.

Following my path and this thread ... i'm trying to show, with simconnect AICreateSimulatedObject, my own made simple Gmax objects like a cube , a sign, a cylinder ...no way.

Fsx hangs up always.

Anyone solved this or is not possible any way???

Hi,

It should work the same as with the default library objects. Just make sure that you put your new object in a library and call its GUID in the SimObject you create. After that you can place that SimObject with SimConnect.

Arno, thanks for your prompt reply.

Sorry but there is something i dont understand.
When you say putting the object in a library and call its Guid... in simple words ... i put the mdl and the sim.cfg in a subfolder of Simobjects/Misc , just as i did before with the example of my previous post.
In the sim.cfg the line ---> visual_model_guid= shows the Guid of my own object.
Or is there something else i'm missing?
Thanks again.
Rob

Hi, sorry for recovering this post but I got another question regarding this stuff.

I created a library of some models. Works well if placed with Object Placer or Inst.Scen.

Now I created a simobject out of this and trying to call it via simconnect. But everytime I get a CTD.

Lib:

F5FD98164CCE0AE77CF560856E59530B ParkAutomat
880CC63C4D1CDD428BADB086088DB9B9 Bus_Tram_Stop

sim.cfg:

[fltsim.0]
title=TRANSPORTATION_LIB ParkAutomat
model=
texture=
visual_model_guid={F5FD9816-4CCE-0AE7-7CF5-60856E59530B}

[fltsim.1]
title=TRANSPORTATION_LIB Bus_Tram_Stop
model=
texture=
visual_model_guid={880CC63C-4D1C-DD42-8BAD-B086088DB9B9}

[General]
category=SimpleObject

I even tried with and without the ui_type thing -> no changes.

May somebody has an working example for this.
