XPLMLoadObjectAsync

XPLM_API void       XPLMLoadObjectAsync(
                         const char *         inPath,
                         XPLMObjectLoaded_f   inCallback,
                         void *               inRefcon);

This routine loads an object asynchronously; control is returned to you immediately while X-Plane loads the object. The sim will not stop flying while the object loads. For large objects, it may be several seconds before the load finishes.

You provide a callback function that is called once the load has completed. Note that if the object cannot be loaded, you will not find out until the callback function is called with a NULL object handle.

There is no way to cancel an asynchronous object load; you must wait for the load to complete and then release the object if it is no longer desired.
