Hello, I have been trying to implement a basic host, I have managed to control the entity using the EntityControl class, but I am unable to rotate an articulated part present in the simmodel of that entity. Related code is as below, 

/* CIGI messaging */
    // Reference an Outgoing Message Manager
    CigiOutgoingMsg &Omsg = *OmsgPtr;

    // Step 13 : Call the Outgoing message object "BeginMsg()" method to initialize the message
    Omsg.BeginMsg();

    // The normal per frame sequence of the operation of the HOST
    // 1 : Process the current message from the IG if any
    if (CigiInSz > 0)
    {
        try
        {
            pin_ptr<unsigned char *> unmanagedCInBuf = &CInBuf[0];
            ImsgPtr->ProcessIncomingMsg((unsigned char *)unmanagedCInBuf, CigiInSz);
        }
        catch (CigiException &theException)
        {
            Console::Write("getNetMessages - Exception: ");
            Console::WriteLine(theException.what());
        }
    }

    // 2 : Modify the IG Control Object as needed
    // 3 : Pack the IG Control packet onto the outgoing message buffer
    Omsg << CIGC;

    // 4 : Create, Modify, and pack other packets as necessary
    // Modify COwn Entity Control Packet as needed
    COwn.SetLat(lat, false);
    COwn.SetLon(lon, false);
    COwn.SetAlt(alt, false);
    COwn.SetRoll(roll, false);
    COwn.SetPitch(pitch, false);
    COwn.SetYaw(yaw, false);

    // 5 : Pack Entity Control Packet
    Omsg << COwn;

   // 6 : Modify the Articulated Part control packet as required

    CArtPart.SetEntityID(1);
    CArtPart.SetArtPartID(partID);
    CArtPart.SetArtPartEn(true);
    CArtPart.SetRoll(90);
    CArtPart.SetRollEn(true);
    CArtPart.SetPitchEn(true);
    CArtPart.SetPitch(90);
    // 7: Pack the Art Part Packet
    Omsg << CArtPart;

    // 8 : Package the message
    try
    {
        pin_ptr<unsigned char *> unmanagedCigiOutBuf = &pCigiOutBuf;
        pin_ptr<int> unmanagedCigiOutSz = &CigiOutSz;
        Omsg.PackageMsg(unmanagedCigiOutBuf, *unmanagedCigiOutSz);
    }
    catch (CigiException &theException)
    {
        Console::Write("getNetMessages - Exception: ");
        Console::WriteLine(theException.what());
    }

    // 9 : Wait and receive the IG's SOF message
    CigiInSz = 0;
    while (CigiInSz == 0)
    {
        pin_ptr<unsigned char *> unmanagedCInBuf = &CInBuf[0];
        CigiInSz = network.recv((unsigned char *)unmanagedCInBuf, RECV_BUFFER_SIZE);
    }

    // 10 : Update the IG control (specifically the frame counter and possibly the database ID) packet in the outgoing message buffer

    // 11 : Send the outgoing mesage
    if (pCigiOutBuf != NULL)
    {
        if (CigiInSz > 0)
        {
            pin_ptr<unsigned char *> unmanagedCInBuf = &CInBuf[0];
            Omsg.UpdateIGCtrl(pCigiOutBuf, (unsigned char*)unmanagedCInBuf);
        }
        else
        {
            Omsg.UpdateIGCtrl(pCigiOutBuf, NULL);
        }

        // send CIGI message
        int sentBytes = network.send(pCigiOutBuf, CigiOutSz);
    }

    Omsg.FreeMsg();   // Frees the buffer containing the message that was just sent
