Version: 1.5.3.0 (SimConnect 1.4.1)
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: Blocker
Context: All default any airport (example uses KSEA).
Bug description: injecting default Asobo AI objects using SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject exceeding a max number of times (in my experience around 45-60) causes MSFS 2024 to CTD. Same result for SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject_EX1, SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject_EX1 and SimConnect_AICreateNonATCAircraft
Repro steps: Use SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject to inject 100 default Asobo AI objects at any airport. The provided code sample injects at the aiport KSEA. Same result for when injecting using SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject_EX1, SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject_EX1 and SimConnect_AICreateNonATCAircraft
Attachments: (1) simple test C++ code (,cpp) that injects a user specified number of default Asobo objects using one of the four above-mentioned injection methods (user selectable) at KSEA stock. The code is also block quoted below for copy and paste.
