## How to find the SimObject title

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="MSFS2024" %}

### 1. Enable Devmode

Under *General* settings, in the tab *Advanced Options*, enable *Developer Mode*.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2FehTqls8O3i2TAGTvwPfn%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a941cb87-d069-4a7b-a3d9-f7c5f4b21ab3" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### 2. Open the SimObject Spawner tool

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2F2R0Yoh2sNVJiHmKxDFda%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=929e7082-c977-4eef-8e20-8a8fc250fccb" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

You can search through all SimObjects, and filter per package.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2Fqd2CV78lGkJZKOnH1rJs%2FSimObject%20Spawner.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=704b0793-8208-40de-91e7-f2935ec4284a" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### 3. Copy the SimObject Title without brackets

The selection dropdown gives you the SimObject title you need to enter in the Mission Hub. You should not add the part inside the brackets, as that is the livery name and not part of the SimObject title.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need to type the title exactly, without the part between brackets, to have it successfully spawn in your mission.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="MSFS2020" %}

### 1. Enable Devmode

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2Fp8veGzhchaJZHQwaAxwf%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=10a86039-b8d6-4964-aa30-e8086b69b358" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### 4. Use the Objects panel

In the scenery editor, click the View dropdown, and enable the Objects panel.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2FlgzpZKgFAzYdNvEqI7aU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1c30f255-7272-4a06-bbb0-d52635ff8435" alt="" width="284"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

On the left side of the panel, you see a list of all SimObject titles.

<figure><img src="https://3284314497-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQEwJpcf1IkEF6flfrOBX%2Fuploads%2F8eg293sGJ1tgneDF6cRx%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=c21b8444-a1f8-47b6-a33b-e6853ae50751" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 5. Copy the SimObject Title
