Please vote the proposal made in 2021 for an Attach API

Attach SimObjects API

Since the simulator already supports the concept of “Pilots”, which are Simobjects attached to other Simobjects, it would be very helpful if the following features could be available: Allow SimObjects created programmatically through Simconnect to support the [PILOTS] entries in the SIM.CFG, which is currently not working. Add the ability to dynamically Attach and Detach Simobjects to other Simobject, setting a custom XYZ offset and PBH orientation relative to the parent object. Add the abil…

Using the native model attachment in the model .xml files, compared to constantly setting the position for each attached object, has a dramatic positive effect in performances (perfect attachments with zero lag) and system load and Simconnect traffic, but of course it can’t be done programmatically, that’s why an API would be useful, you can imagine what the impact (and the lag) would be, if every add-on tried to keep several objects attached at each frame.
