Updated Actuator Blocks
The actuator blocks have improved dynamic behavior and give you more control
over initial conditions. For more information, see “Blocks and Block Elements Being
Removed” on page 7-2.
Support for Bidirectional Communication Between FlightGear and
Simulink
Using UDP packets, the Aerospace Blockset software can now send and receive data
between a Simulink model and a running FlightGear Flight Simulator. The Aerospace
Blockset software has been updated with new and updated blocks.
• New blocks:
• Receive net_ctrl Packet from FlightGear — Receives a network control and
environment data packet net_ctrl from the simulation of a Simulink model in the
FlightGear simulator.
• Unpack net_ctrl Packet from FlightGear — Unpacks net_ctrl variable
packets received from FlightGear and makes them available for the Simulink
environment.
• Updated block Generate Run Script, with the following new parameters:
• Select target architecture
• FlightGear data flow
• Origin address
• Origin port
