"Nice project. I am going to use UDB for my project by the way.  I am now working on a catapult launcher for a Zephyr. I haven't decided if using a hook on the cat rail or pushing on the rear of the wings with a cradle arragmenet is the best method…"

"Excellent! Thanks for verifying."

"Hi James. Will play a bit with it and probably test without the openscenegraph (replace that with a scope).I havent had much time to test the JSBSim demos unfortunately.
 
I don't have experience with DLLs and cmake so I cant contribute there.

"Hi again James.
 
Thanks for the advice regarding the package. I skipped that and ran sciscoslab from the directory where the ini file resides.
 
I now got it running on my Virtual Box running Ubuntu. However running on the Virtual Box is very slow.…"

"Hi, I have installed the scicoslab package and scicos looks lite it starts OK.When I try the procedure for building and installing mavsim described here:https://github.com/openmav/mavsim/wiki/Build-from-Source it compiles OK but when trying to…"

"Hi. Have you tested / noticed if there is any latency (delay) when feeding the video from the GoPro? On a normal surveillance type video camera with composite video out, there is no noticeable latency. This makes those cameras very nice to FPV fly…"

"Aha ...  then I should be able to get this flying over UDP/IP!
 
Will report back later."

"By the way, can the link between Mavsim and Flightgear be run on a TCP/IP socket? Isn't that the way it operates anyway? If it is the idea in the last post should work. I could even run Flightgear on another box here."

"Yo!
 
Flightgear seems like it sux a bit in terms of execution speed under Vbox. Even with 3D acceleration enabled.
 
Perhaps it's better to run Flightgear under native XP so it has direct access to the graphics hw. Then the Mavsim stuff could run…"

"Hi James.
 
I have been installing just that since my posting earlier today :)  I installed Ubuntu on Virtual Box and is in the process of installing Flightgear with Synaptic now. I will have to evaluate the performance, as it looks a bit (ehh.…"

"Hi Chris. The step may probably be too large. However I think I recall that I based the step measurements on the wikipedia article about kfm. Something about percentages of the height, if I recall correctly.  I haven't flown it yet. However I have…"

"Hi Hyon, is it this paper (Full control of a Quadrotor) http://www.scribd.com/doc/35698632/BL-Full-Control-of-a-Quadrotor you are reffering to in your above post?
 
Is it possible to run Scicos with the Mavsim toolbox on Windows or do I as an…"

"Nice model!
 
I was under the impression that Sketchup is difficult to use for any serious engineering type of work, but it looks like you have managed to do exactly that.
 
Is it possible for you to write up the steps in you went thru in Sketchup…"

"By the way if you want to have a cheap power supply tip: buy 12V 7-15Ah lead-cell battery from a hardware store. A small one will do. A lipo will also work. They are cheap and also possible to transport outside (even to the field). I prefer…"

"Correction! Duty cycle is a number between 0 and 0,999"

"H!
 
I took a review look on the datasheet of IRFZ44N and the threshold voltage is 2-4 volts. (The treshold voltage is the voltage where the FET starts to conduct and the depletion barrier is broken in the channel). To ensure full opening and low…"
