Simulation object configuration files are used to configure all the physical objects that can be added to Prepar3D, excluding fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. This includes blimps, animals, ground vehicles, boats, and a range of miscellaneous objects such as flour bombs and food pallets. Fixed wing aircraft and helicopters use aircraft configuration files which allow control over additional parameters specific to these vehicles types.
