How to find the SimObject title
MSFS2024
1. Enable Devmode
Under General settings, in the tab Advanced Options, enable Developer Mode.
2. Open the SimObject Spawner tool
You can search through all SimObjects, and filter per package.
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.
You need to type the title exactly, without the part between brackets, to have it successfully spawn in your mission.
