If you want to test another plane model, you can switch the Rascal model to another type by editing the file models/rascal.json. (vehicle name is the same name as the name of.

You probably will need a new PX4 startup script for your vehicle.

Add model into PX4 make system in file platforms/posix/cmake/sitl_target.cmake with same name as json file in previous step.

Add the FlightGear aircraft to models subdirectory, or to another MODEL PATH searched by FG.

If you want to use a currently unsupported FlightGear aircraft with PX4, you need: FG_run script takes the second argument, which is PX4 ID (and automatically adjusts the port numbers according to the given number) and bridge binary takes this ID as the first argument before the output of get_FGbridge_params.py

FG_ARGS_EX - any additional FG parametersįlightGear Bridge and starting script now support multiple instances of PX4.

FG_MODELS_DIR - absolute path to the folder containing the manually-downloaded aircraft models which should be used for simulation.

FG_BINARY - absolute path to FG binary to run.

You can tune your FG installation/settings by the following environment variables: Then the Advanced Options section of this readme could help you. Check where are FG binaries in your system, by executing the command which fgfs. If your output of this command does not contain the FG_ROOT line, the script will not work.

The starting script searches for the FG-Data folder.PX4 internal starting script runs fgfs with a set of parameters to reduce graphic load.

Multiple models packaged with the bridge have an electric engine that needs up-to-date FlightGear.But in the past, we achieved basic functionality on Debian 9 running FG 2016.1.1 from the distribution repository. You can probably use a wild set of FG versions - we tested installation with FG 2019.1.3.8.In FlightGear display frame rate by enabling it in View->View Options->Show frame rate. If you have FPS lower than 20 the bridge will not work correctly.In PX4Firmware folder run: make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_tf-r1 for TF-R1 ground rover.In PX4Firmware folder run: make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_tf-g2 for TF-G2 autogyro.In PX4Firmware folder run: make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_tf-g1 for TF-G1 autogyro.Alternatively, you could use make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_rascal-electric for the plane with an electric engine model. In PX4Firmware folder run: make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_rascal for plane with combustion engine.In PX4Firmware folder run: make px4_sitl_nolockstep flightgear_model-name.On Ubuntu run sudo chmod a+w /usr/share/games/flightgear/Protocol Set write permissions to the Protocols folder in the FlightGear installation directory.Alternatively use the TF modified FlightGear for advanced features of the models.

#FLIGHTGEAR QGROUNDCONTROL INSTALL#

In Ubuntu You can use install the last stable FG from the PPA repository by following commands: sudo add-apt-repository -y -u ppa:saiarcot895/flightgear and sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -quiet install flightgear

#FLIGHTGEAR QGROUNDCONTROL HOW TO#

How to use the FlightGear with PX4 Install It connects to FG (over UDP generic protocol) and transforms the data to TCP MAVlink packets for the PX4 stack. The system was tested on the Rascal airplane and TF-G1 autogyro simulation models. This stand-alone application adds the possibility of the use of the FlightGear simulator. FlightGear expands the simulation possibilities through advanced weather simulations.

#FLIGHTGEAR QGROUNDCONTROL SIMULATOR#

The FlightGear alternative to the current PX4's mainstream simulator Gazebo.
