Newbie Question

[jmiller781]

I have just build AirSim on my pc based on the following article
https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/build_windows/
and run the "Blocks" environment.

Moreover, I followed the instructions on
https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/unreal_custenv/
and I run AirSim simulation on a custom "Vehicle Game" environment.

Now, I want to control my car, in the "Vehicle Game" project, not with the keyboard, but programmatically with the C++ API.

I read the
https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/apis_cpp/
article, but it gives info only for HelloCar and HelloDrone projects.

My question is:
What should I do, in order to update "Vehicle Game" and control my car through the C++ API?

Any help will be appreciated.

PC:
I tried to compile HelloCar but it gives me the error "Cannot open file 'rpc.lib'. I have included the paths to header and library directories. Only "Dependencies" window does not show rpc.lib option to select.

I found the answer through the RTFM process... (: shy :)

When you are running a project/environment with AirSim an RPC server is running. Then, you concurrently run the HelloCar project which contains a client that connects to the AirSim RPC Server and send its commands.

As for the failed compilation of HelloCar the answer is hidden in this thread
