Questions on WASM Standalone Module

[PikoSim]

Back to flight sim development. I believe WASM Standalone Module similarly works like how DLL works for P3D. I am trying to make a verificaton and playing around. So i am wondering, is the standalone module able to run or detect exe upon sim running? I tried putting system("myexe.exe") but the module seems to fail knowing that it us c++. Alternatively, using an executable and put it on EXE.xml but that would allow users from removing it.

Secondly, is WASM Standalone Module able to be attached to an scenery object? Example, Module1 is attached to terminal.bgl and texture.

I hope to get some answers to my clarification and advices. Thank you

I hope this Wasm information will get you (re-)started (again)

Hi ronald,

Thank you for the reply. A question i would like to ask, is WASM Standalone Module able to be attached to an scenery object? Example, Module1 is attached to terminal.bgl and texture.

Note: I've not started with 100% native MSFS2020 development (yet), but i do have over 40+ yeasr experience behind-the-keyboard (from before fs1)

A question I would like to ask, is WASM Standalone Module able to be attached to an scenery object? Example, Module1 is attached to terminal.bgl and texture.

1- Short answer.....: I do not know (yet)
2- Longer Version.: (looking back) Inside the FSX / ESP one could create "adventures / missions" via the Object Placement Tool inside the sim (see image below)

Links:
-https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/microsoft-esp/cc526963(v=msdn.10)
-https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/18882/fsx-object-placement/

This allows the mission_builder to configure all sorts of end-user interaction triggers which could then be used for multiple purposes inside the simulator.

You can see this as a kind of dynamic, interactive, in-flightsim scripting ability.

====================================================================================
Now the $64.000 question (for you to find out is) :
- Has Asobo Studio's already implemented this mechanism into MSFS-2020? ( I guess they have)
- If Yes: How well is this feature been documented in their publicly accessible MSFS2020 SDK?

The only relevant information in there I have been able to find, is this:
-https://docs.flightsimulator.com/ht...d_Missions/Flights_And_Missions.htm?agt=index
-https://docs.flightsimulator.com/ht...nd_Missions/Mission_Definitions.htm?agt=index

So far I have not found any "Example Missions" inside the MSFS2020 SDK over here in the Samples section:
-https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Samples_And_Tutorials/Samples_And_Tutorials.htm

This is one mission creation thread on their forum
-https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/guide-mission-creation-for-msfs/419885



EDIT: I just found a few this website of people who are already building MSFS20 Missions like they did in FSX
-https://store.flightsim.com/product-category/msfs/msfs-missions-adventures/ - payware
-https://www.simplemissions.com/ - free
-https://www.bushtripinjector.de/

EDIT2: MSFS2020 Mission creation addon tool
- https://flightsim.to/file/3681/bushmissiongen

And somebody [jpdise] on this forum as well
-https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/members/jpdise.22624/ - profile
-https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/t...free-msfs-2020-mission-available-here.449182/ - thread
I think these are the most knowledgable people to get in contact, since they have already found out to do it...

Next thing to investigate:
What does Asobo allow (and what not) as "triggered_outcome_event" to happen inside / outside the simulation_engine (and how to do it)?
