New features and changes introduced in this version are

New MATLAB Animation Block

The MATLAB Animation block creates a six-degrees-of-freedom animation of multiple bodies that have custom geometries. It is based on the Aero.Animation object.

New Pilot Joystick All Block

The Pilot Joystick All block provides a joystick interface on Windows® platforms. This block is the same as Pilot Joystick, but its Output configuration parameter is set by default to AllOutputs. It outputs six analog channels, buttons, and point of view indicators.

WGS84 Gravity Model Block Modified

The first input of the WGS84 Gravity Model block is now a three-signal vector that contains the position in geodetic latitude, longitude, and altitude. The second optional input is now a scalar that contains the manually-specified Julian centuries. The WGS84 Gravity Model block also has new output coordinates and dimensions to output the gravity vector in NED coordinates.

Compatibility Considerations

The old WGS84 Gravity Model block is deprecated. Models built with the old block continue to be supported from an obsolete library that ships with the Aerospace Blockset product but is not visible in the Library Browser. To use the new version of the WGS84 Gravity Model block, you must replace the old WGS84 Gravity Model block from the Environment/Gravity library and reconnect the input to take into account the three-signal vector format.

New Aerospace Blockset Demo

The Aerospace Blockset product has a new demo, Multiple Unmanned Air Vehicles with Collaborative Control, which illustrates the use of the MATLAB Animation block.
