Hi, first of all, RESPECT, for this awesome tool, simply the best for MSFS.

There's any way to show in the aircraft information selected thru the map the Containers Id  shown in MSFS?

Thx in advanced.

No. LNM will not show it if is not transferred as AI aircraft through SimConnect.

Thx Alex. 🙏

I'll echo @jcuellar's statement about LNM being just an amazing and awesome tool. I just started to use it recently and love it.
Now on to my question. 
I have the same question as the OP, but didn't quite understand what @albar965 meant in this reply that

.I'm fairly new to all of this, but let me explain what I'm trying to do.

My setup:
* MSFS 2020
* Traffic injector: PSXTraffic + Realtraffic
* LNM

What I am trying to do:
Once RealTraffic+PSXTraffic have injected the aircrafts, I can see them in LNM, no issues until this point. However, right now, if I want to follow a certain injected aircraft, what I do is this --> Debug --> View Simobject containers --> Then I enable "Name" for all Aircraft containers, and once I can view the Name (which includes the objectId of the aircraft), then I expand that container, and click on "View".

I don't know why but I thought that I might be able to view this objectId of any of these injected aircrafts, since its already getting the rest of the info from SimConnet (lat/lon/alt etc).

If these aircrafts are already initialized as AI aircrafts, is there any way to view the objectIds. Apologies in advance, I'm fairly new to all of this from a tech perspective.
 

LNM fetches all data through the MSFS SimConnect interface. So I'm limited by what it provides.

But looking at the SimConnect documentation I think I can use the field dwObjectID in the SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA structure.

Have to check. Not sure if this is the same as the container id but might be the number you're looking for. I can add an option to show this as a label attached to the aircraft icon (off per default).

Hi,

I found the easiest way to chase certain aircraft. Inside the PSXT folder, normally in drive C root, you will find a file called Callsign2ObjectId.txt. Open it in Notepad++ and you will have a list of active aircraft on ground and air with the object ID and flight number as seen in Flightradar24. 

I hope this helps.

Oh wow! Assuming it works, I'd be extremely greatful and happy. Thank you again.

Thanks Jaime @jcuellar. Yeah, I found this trick from the PSXT docs as well, and have tried it out a few times, but unfortunately (I'm being extremely picky here), this only gets updated once/minute. I guess under normal conditions, it would be more than sufficient, but my usecase hits a bit different (for me at least). I'm trying to follow other (injected) planes, listen to (real) ATC, and then am trying to understand the SIDs/STAR/APP using LNM.

Assuming @albar965's idea works, this would honestly save me so much back and forth, copy/paste etc. So now I can easily get the container (object) id from LNM, and then switch to Debug --> SimObject container --> View, and easily follow the rest of my learning stuff.

Many thanks again.
