Property Summary

Properties	Description
TimeseriesSource	Specify variable that contains the time series data.
TimeseriesSourceType	Specify the type of time series data stored in 'TimeseriesSource'. Five values are available. They are listed in the following table. The default value is 'Array6DoF'.
TimeseriesReadFcn	Specify a function to read the time series data if 'TimeseriesSourceType' is 'Custom'.
TimeScaling	Specify the seconds of animation data per second of wall-clock time. The default ratio is 1.
FramesPerSecond	Specify the number of frames per second used to animate the 'TimeseriesSource'. The default value is 12 frames per second.
FlightGearVersion	Select your FlightGear software version: '0.9.3', '0.9.8', '0.9.9', '0.9.10', '1.0', '1.9.1', or '2.0'. The default version is '2.0'.
OutputFileName	Specify the name of the output file. The file name is the name of the command you will use to start FlightGear with these initial parameters. The default value is 'runfg.bat'.
FlightGearBaseDirectory	Specify the name of your FlightGear installation folder. The default value is 'D:\Applications\FlightGear'.
GeometryModelName	Specify the name of the folder containing the desired model geometry in the FlightGear\data\Aircraft folder. The default value is 'HL20'.
DestinationIpAddress	Specify your destination IP address. The default value is '127.0.0.1'.
DestinationPort	Specify your network flight dynamics model (fdm) port. This destination port should be an unused port that you can use when you launch FlightGear. The default value is '5502'.
AirportId	Specify the airport ID. The list of supported airports is available in the FlightGear interface, under Location. The default value is 'KSFO'.
RunwayId	Specify the runway ID. The default value is '10L'.
InitialAltitude	Specify the initial altitude of the aircraft, in feet. The default value is 7224 feet.
InitialHeading	Specify the initial heading of the aircraft, in degrees. The default value is 113 degrees.
OffsetDistance	Specify the offset distance of the aircraft from the airport, in miles. The default value is 4.72 miles.
OffsetAzimuth	Specify the offset azimuth of the aircraft, in degrees. The default value is 0 degrees.
TStart	Specify start time as a double.
TFinal	Specify end time as a double.

The time series data, stored in the property 'TimeseriesSource', is interpreted according to the 'TimeseriesSourceType' property, which can be one of:

'Timeseries'	MATLAB time series data with six values per time: lat lon alt phi theta psi The values are resampled.
'StructureWithTime'	Simulink struct with time (for example, Simulink root outport logging 'Structure with time'): signals(1).values: lat lon alt signals(2).values: phi theta psi Signals are linearly interpolated vs. time using interp1.
'Array6DoF'	A double-precision array in n rows and 7 columns for 6-DoF data: time lat lon alt phi theta psi. If a double-precision array of 8 or more columns is in 'TimeseriesSource', the first 7 columns are used as 6-DoF data.
'Array3DoF'	A double-precision array in n rows and 4 columns for 3-DoF data: time lat alt theta. If a double-precision array of 5 or more columns is in 'TimeseriesSource', the first 4 columns are used as 3-DoF data.
'Custom'	Position and angle data is retrieved from 'TimeseriesSource' by the currently registered 'TimeseriesReadFcn'.
