HI! I design and release bunch of sceneries filled up with static objects
(“POI Billboards”), which, based on OpenStreetMap data, show some interesting
POI points, scattered all over a country. Those billboards are very simple,
few-triangle objects but everyone is attached its own texture. The idea is
well commented by scenery users but… most of them would like to have a
possibility to HIDE (/SHOW) those objects on a Magical Mystery Key press (I
mean dynamically, in-flight) Is it possible in any SDK way? Maybe visual
effect or something? Regards, Rysiek

Hello Rysiek You should be able to get this behaviour using the
ASOBO_GT_Visibility_Code template
_your code here_
You will not be able to define a custom key event directly using the RPN code.
You will have to define a custom simvar using SimConnect to do so. You will be
happy to learn we will provide a complete documentation about the Behavior
system with the next update. Hope this helps. Regards, Sylvain
Oh FR Sylvain, if it’s not a ready-made solution yet, I can see it’s Light in
the tunnel!
Thank you very much, I will try to study the solution … I
never used SimConnect but maybe now is the time.
As a first step, you can use an existing keyboard event to make sure it’s
working before moving to SimConnect.
Final summary of the topic: these objects should be SimObjects and not scenery
objects (ArtProj), everything is explained in detail here - MSFS - Visibility
