Here is the main error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd-1_63.lib' [D:\AirSim\Air\AirSim\MavLink
Com\MavLinkTest\MavLinkTest.vcxproj]

What should I do?

Also some other faults, it looks like the problem of boost.

Did you follow the instructions to Install Boost ? And set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable?

[placeforyiming]

Yes, I think I should do this:

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

D:\AirSim\boost\boost_1_63_0\boost_1_63_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

D:\AirSim\boost\boost_1_63_0\boost_1_63_0\stage\lib

But how?

[placeforyiming]

Amazing! I repair VS 2015 and restart my computer, now it works. Thanks!

Oh, yes, when you modify your system environment variables, you need to start whatever process you want to pick up those new variables. So restarting VS picked up BOOST_ROOT.
