Increase Allowed Sim Object Limit

With the increasing complexity of the simulation and simconnect still being a key way for adding objects into the sim, the (what i can only imagine as ) historic limit of approx 1000 simobjects in the sim is becoming limiting. This is leading to invisible objects when using AI aircraft packages combined with airport enhancements, boat package etc etc.

Could this 1000 object limit be increased or removed? It would seem like its left over from days of highly limited system memory.

I second this. This limit is very penalizing, when considering the recent ability to use Attached objects, which can improve flexibility quite a bit compared to having monolithic Simobjects, but result in an increase of their number, making the limitation all the more apparent.

With the release of Just Flight's FS Traffic - this has just added another app that can be impacted by and contribute to hitting this limit. Would be great to get a view from Asobo on if this will be considered and if not - what they would suggest all the third parties do?

Highly needed request, specially as long as we have the 1% Ground Vehicle bug (spawning all airplane services for each AI airplane) as well....

This is certainly causing us a few headaches. Would at least like to see the limit increased.
