SimObjectType.ALL

Great code project ;) - Thanks

I have problem to make my code read all object using the code below, it seem to read Helicopter and Aircraft, not all with Title or ID.
But not GROUND or BOAT ??

  handle.on('simObjectData', (recvSimObjectData) => {
      if (recvSimObjectData.requestID === RequestID.MY_POSITION) {
          const currentTime = Date.now();
          if (currentTime - lastUpdateTime >= 300) { // Check if 300ms has passed
              const aircraftDetails = readAircraftPosition(recvSimObjectData.data);
              wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
                  if (client.readyState === client.OPEN) {
                      client.send(JSON.stringify({
                          type: 'myPosition',
                          data: aircraftDetails,
                      }));
                  }
              });

              lastUpdateTime = currentTime; // Update the last update time
          }

          handle.requestDataOnSimObjectType(
              RequestID.NEARBY_AIRCRAFT,
              DefinitionID.AIRCRAFT_DETAILS,
              200000,
              SimObjectType.ALL
          );
      }
  });

Hi, thanks for reaching out!

not all with Title or ID

Which simulation variables are you trying to read and what does your readAircraftPosition() function look like?

But not GROUND or BOAT ??

Note that you will only be able to get the objects that are AI controlled (moving) so no static objects. I just tested in MSFS 2020 and was able to get both ground objects and boats using the trafficRadar sample as a starting point (btw, I updated it to show the TITLE simvar instead of ATC MODEL).

Yayp, I made it work (Prepar3D v6.1)
Have to add IDs names in SimDirector.
