SIMO - Load or Save a Situation or Movie¶
- Send
The SIMO command takes an enumerated command and a path:
msg = struct.pack('<4sxi150s2x', b'SIMO', cmd, # 0=Save sit, 1=Load sit, 2=Save Movie, 3=Load Movie path.encode('utf-8')) # Relative path, e.g., 'Output/my_movie' sock.sendto(msg, (beacon['ip'], beacon['port']))
Note that “movie” is different from the avi file created as part of “Toggle Video Recording”. The movie file is X-Plane proprietary format. When you load a movie, you’ll enter “Toggle Replay Mode” with the movie paused.
