FlightGear for rendering PFD for external UAV aerodynamic simulator (subtitles)
Channel: Norbert Kiszka
Date: 2022-01-27

Whole simulator (with autopilot) was coded only by me, but FDM communication with FlightGear was based on this code: https://github.com/JCohner/flightgear_udp

Numerical value in mode annunciator is a AOA (air angle of attack) in degrees.

One of my own libraries in this simulator is available for free on GPL V2 license: https://github.com/norbertkiszka/math_aero

00:00 Preparation.
01:14 Here we go.
01:48 Simulation of windshear with 90 knots of tailwind (from 0 to 90 knots in almost 6 seconds and back to ~40 knots in ~4 seconds).
02:13 ALT HLD.
04:42 Engine flameout (no fuel left).
13:40 Back in same spot (no latitude/longitude changes in FlightGear).
14:20 Restart simulator for very short while.
14:37 Code of FDM communication with FlightGear.
