How to develop a host application to send CIGI packet?

[jackool]

Dear Sir：

           Do you suggest developing an independent host application in QT or VS2015, or integrating it into Unigine's project?

            Is there any correspondence between the name and ID defined by the entity in igconfig.xml and the name and ID of the entity in entity.def?

As far as I know Unigine contain some CIGI modules or plugins , if you could use it directly then use Unigine's project will be better .

in ig_config you are describing an entity type for IG: what model will be loaded when creating the entity. 
in entity.def you are descrive an control model for entity type (car, helicopter, fixedwing,... )
then when host send message like
`entity 1 type 200 pos 20 20 20`
ig can interpret it like 
`load "entities\aircrafts\be-200\be_200.node" node and place it in 20 20 20 position`
