Hello, I have read the Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI) in P3D document. However, I don't know how to control the aircraft component (e.g. gear, rudder, gauges) using CIGI host. I can set the position of aircraft using CIGI official sample now.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to control aircraft components using CIGI?
Hi Jey,
Articulated parts can be configured via the CigiArticulatedParts.xml file. This file is located your ProgramData directory:
C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D vX
You'll likely need to reconfigure this file based on the articulated part ID sent by the host. Similarly, value types and units may also need to be changed. Our default configuration files were setup to work in a Prepar3D Host/IG setup.
Regards,
Clifton

Hi Clifton Crane,
Thanks for your time and explanation, I notice the CigiArticulatedParts.xml file. However, I don't know how to connect my model, this file and cigi packet. I create my aircraft in 3ds Max and convert model in ModelConverter.
