    HANDLE  hSimConnect,
    const char*  szContainerTitle,
    SIMCONNECT_DATA_INITPOSITION  InitPos,
    SIMCONNECT_DATA_REQUEST_ID  RequestID
    );

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type
hSimConnect	Handle to a SimConnect object.	Integer
szContainerTitle	Null-terminated string containing the container title. The container title is case-sensitive and can be found in the sim.cfg file. NOTE: Only Dynamic SimObjects can receive "AI Waypoint" data via SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject.	String
InitPos	Null-terminated string containing the tail number. This should have a maximum of 12 characters.	String
RequestID	Specifies the client defined request ID.	Integer

Return value	Description
S_OK	The function succeeded.
E_FAIL	The function failed.

Remarks

This function can be used to create a stationary aircraft (such as an unflyable aircraft on display outside a flight museum), but is typically intended to create simulation objects other than aircraft (such as ground vehicles, boats, and a number of special objects such as humpback whales and hot-air balloons).

The following exception can be created by this function (refer to the SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION enum for more details):

SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_CREATE_OBJECT_FAILED
