AA516: Awesome video. Coming back because I forgot to comment. I just got it working (mostly) with an Xbox controller input and FlightGear visualizations, and it is so much fun to fly around! Though I crash into the ocean quite often
Unfortunately our model doesn't have an earth model to simulate the crash but you can easily add some code to check if the altitude is less than 0 then you can stop the time.

Hi Chris, I can proudly say to have arrived at the end of the flight mechanics series and I have successfully implemented my non-linear 6DOF dynamic model of an aircraft with the joystick in the loop. You literally taught me how to fly, now it's time to enhance the flight physics and add some extra features on my own. Thanks again for your guidance, it was truly priceless. Before leaving, I would ask you a thing. I noticed that in your flight simulation in flightgear the propeller is not rotating and the instruments do not respond (it happens to mine as well). Do you know how to figure out this issue?

Hello sir, Thanks for this lecture i have one doubt we want to write code in editor window to run in flight gear or we can simply use simulation block alone.

Nice video!. I wanted to ask if you know how to send data to flight gear. I have python application. I want to change the airspeed value. How to make flight gear read that data and show the change?. What changes need to be made in the protocol file?
Is the altitude variable AGL or ASL ? Either way, how do you get your airplane to start on the ground instead of in at an arbitrary altitude ? I guess you could look up what the altitude is at the desired airport and initialize the interface component with that ?
Hello, i have have successfully linked simulink to flightgear also simulated it but i want to make it stable.... The flight runs randomly at any direction..highly unstable.... How can i make it stable????

Hi again Christopher! As always I appreciate your awesome videos! Are you away if FlightGear can output the TACAN signal from the carriers to MATLAB? I'm trying to write and ACLS flight control based on the range/bearing from the carriers... Wasn't sure if you knew if this was possible or not. Thanks in advance! Benjamin
AA516 Do you have any idea what the base directory would look like for a macOS computer? I'm struggling to find the correct directory. Thanks for the great videos
Hi Sir, First of all I would like to thank you for your benefical videos. I would like to ask your help . I understand your all cideos but whenever ı tried to model another aircraft on Matlab Simulink. Actually I couldn' t :) I had lots of problems about it even I couldn't control the thrust of engine and etc. Is it possible to show us for example how to model Predator UAVs or give us some instructure about the modelling motion of the predetor?
Hello Sir, and thank you for these very instructive videos! I have a python application which calculates lat, lon, alt, phi, theta and psi. I would like to send this information via UDP to FlightGear to get a visualization. Do you know how this could be done? Thank you.

AA-516 Hi professor, when I double click the batch file and before I press play in Simulink, the Honolulu terrain is visible while the simulation is paused and waiting to start. But as soon as I click play in Simulink the terrain disappears and everything just looks like clouds. Do you have any ideas for how to solve this?
Nevermind, I realized that the new version of Flightgear uses Keflavik, Iceland as the default airport so once I changed the coordinates to there, the scenery showed up. On another note, do you know how to changed the airplane that we see in Flightgear? I want to show a 757-200 instead of a Cessna 172 so I downloaded the aircraft and copied the files into the C:\Program Files\FlightGear 2020.3.6\data\Aircraft directory and changed the geometry model name in the generate run script block but it's not able to load the 757. Do you have any suggestions?
@@ChristopherLum It appears that some aircraft work and others don't. The 747-400 and 767-300 are two that I've found to work and I just downloaded those aircraft and copied them into the program files aircraft directory. I'm not sure why it isn't able to find the 757 when I do the same. Not a big deal though
Hello. I participate in a project at my university, in which we design and build aircraft for a competition in our country (sae Brasil Aerodesign), and we are eager to learn to model and simulate flight dynamics in flight gear. could you help me with this task? would help a lot.

always appreciate that you don't cut out errors you encounter and explain how to fix them
I am overwhelmed with the level of information here. This is a dream come true.....
😅😅 exactly my thoughts when I first discovered his channel.
Me too , I just can't express. I searched a lot and finally ended up here.
AE512: This demo was great, I was able to get FlightGear running with different scenery.

this was so easy to follow and understand! your tutorials are amazing.

AA516: The building up of our Simulink model from the beginning of the course is a true accumulation of our learning so far.
Thank you very much Sir, Such a helpful and easy to follow tutorial.

Sir, Thank you for your lecture. You have helped me a lot in doing my project.
Very nice!
Thank you for the class!
This is just what l am looking for ! Thanks a lot!
thank you Christopher lum .

Can we control multiple aircrafts from simulink in flight gear, for example flight formation?

where can i get this matlab code?
