New features and changes introduced in this version are described here.
Aerospace Blockset Software Version 2.0 supports an interface to the third-party FlightGear Flight Simulator, an open source flight simulator software package. You can obtain the FlightGear Flight Simulator from www.flightgear.org.
The simulator interface included with the Aerospace Blockset software is a unidirectional transmission from the Simulink software to FlightGear using FlightGear's published net_fdm binary data exchange specification transmitted via UDP network packets to a running instance of FlightGear.
The Aerospace Blockset product currently supports the standard binary distributions of FlightGear versions 0.9.3 and 0.9.8a on all platforms.
Note There is a known problem with FlightGear running on Macintosh®, where Weight on Wheels (wow) is 4 bytes, as opposed to other platforms where it is 1 byte. As a result, the Aerospace Blockset product might experience trouble communicating with FlightGear if you are running FlightGear on Macintosh, and if you are using any of the following parameters:

Previously the Mach Number and Dynamic Pressure blocks worked with airspeed as an input. This was not how the blocks were intended to work. Starting with this release, these blocks only accept velocity vectors as input.
The Mach Number and Dynamic Pressure blocks no longer accept airspeed as an input. Use velocity vectors as input for these blocks.
