Animation/Flight Simulator Interfaces

The FlightGear Preconfigured 6DoF Animation block lets you drive position and attitude values to a FlightGear flight simulator vehicle given double-precision values for longitude (l), latitude (ι), altitude (h), roll (ϕ), pitch (θ), and yaw (ψ), respectively.
The block is a masked subsystem containing principally a Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear block set for 6DoF inputs, a Send net_fdm Packet to FlightGear block, and a Simulation Pace block. To access the full capabilities of these blocks, use the individual corresponding blocks from the Aerospace Blockset library.
The block is additionally configured as a SimViewingDevice, so that if you generate code for your model using the Simulink Coder product and connect to the running target code using theSimulink Coder External Mode available from the model toolbar, then the Simulink software can obtain the data from the target on the fly and transmit position and attitude data to FlightGear. For more information, see Sim Viewing Devices in External Mode in the Developing S-Functions guide.
This block does not produce deployable code, but it can be used with Simulink Coder external mode as a SimViewingDevice.

Select your FlightGear software version.
Supported versions: v0.9.3, v0.9.8/0.9.8a, v0.9.9, v0.9.10, v1.0, v1.9.1, v2.0.

Specify your destination port.
Specify the sample time (–1 for inherited).
| Input | Dimension Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
First | Vector | Contains the longitude, latitude, altitude, roll, pitch, and yaw, in double-precision. Units are degrees west/north for longitude and latitude, meters above mean sea level for altitude, and radians for attitude values. |
