Bug description:
The restructuring of simobjects in 2024 to modular aircraft means that the following functions do not have the ability to add a livery to an aircraft - only load the base aircraft livery.
SimConnect_AICreateParkedATCAircraft
SimConnect_AICreateEnrouteATCAircraft
SimConnect_AICreateNonATCAircraft
SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject
These functions need an addtional livery string paramter to specify the livery.
This prevents an traffic programs or ATC programs that spawn aircraft via simconnect from using the new modular aircraft structures.
Repro steps:
Call one of the functions such as:
SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject(conn, “Asobo PassiveAircraft A320 CEO”, anInitPos, aRequestId);
There is no way to specify the livery - so you always get the blank object.
