Payload Station / Droppable Object simvars purpose?

I note that as of SU10b, simvars such as DROPPABLE OBJECTS COUNT:index & PAYLOAD STATION NUM SIMOBJECTS:index are still present and not marked as being deprecated. Do they now or will they in the future serve a purpose?

Of course, the ability to use events and simvars to attach and spawn separate simobjects would be highly welcomed by myself and many other developers...

Hello @MV-JimStewart

These are legacy events/simvars coming straight from FSX and should be considered deprecated.
They will not serve any purpose in the near future.
@Nocturne FYI

Sylvain
