Hi, I have a thread here: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=16853 where I was directed to contact this email with questions. First, let me explain my goal with FlightGear. I would like run FG and take real-time data from it. I do not want to provide my own model, I would like to use one already established (the P51D was suggested to me). The data I would like to get is position (x,y,z), orientation (pitch,yaw,roll) and control surface information (elevator, ailerons, throttle, rudder). Modifying the control surface data is also important. With that data inside Simulink I will feed that to LabView using the Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) provided by NI which will then be interfaced with our hardware. I have had a few questions and it might be better to ask here rather than the forums.
- From what I understand control surfaces can be modified using this block: http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/packnet_fdmpacketforflightgear.html ? - How can I get position and orientation information? I can instead use the velocity of the aircraft with respect to the wind if that is available? In general I want a way to define a level flight path. - I have been trying to find these two blocks in Simulink: http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/receivenet_ctrlpacketfromflightgear.html http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/unpacknet_ctrlpacketfromflightgear.html but I can't find them. I have the other 4 blocks but not these. I initially was using 2.6.0 but noticed that the web page was referring to 2.0 so I switched versions with no success. I have been looking in: Simulink Library Browser > Aerospace Blockset > Animation > Flight Simulator Interfaces. -Do you think it is possible in FG to get the variables I need? I am not worried about interfacing the programs once I can access the variable in Simulink (or for that matter LabView) that I need. This whole interfacing and project set up is new to me so any help you can give would be great. Please forward this to anyone you think can be of help. Thanks! Andy Andrew W.
