Remarks

This enum is used to specify the return of the object IDs of all objects created using the AI creation functions, whether they are created by this client, other clients, or Microsoft Flight Simulator itself. It can also be used to specify the return the object ID of the user aircraft. However it cannot be used to specify the IDs of objects like cars moving on freeways, which are not controlled by the AI component.
