  • Hello Addy/Moglos,

    After long time, I had left this project. Actually I am still struggling with the setup with flightgear and not able to find any help on net. I have spent day and dont want to leave it again incomplete this time. Please guys help me out.

    Now I am able to launch, flightgear with Rascal plane. But on ground it is very unstable. I yaws very badly so I tried to initalise it directly in air but again I am not able control it in manual mode. It rolls and then comes to ground. Not able to find what is the issue, I am using the latest version of flightgear should i change it back to flightgear 2.x version as mentioned in DIY drones website. Completely helpless on this.

    Do I have to change other configuration parameters like PID gains etc? Also I am using the older version of software V2.68 as mentioned in the website. Should I try with the latest version.

    • Did you ever get this solved? Seem to be having the same problem when I start the Rascal plane in air. Wondering what you did  or if you found anything else out.

  • Can someone please direct me to a place where I can look up what the purpose of all of these values are?  I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place I am new to forums in general.  Any help provided will be very helpful.  I am using  an x quadcopter with an arduopilot.  Thanks in advance!

  • Dear friends,

    I want to do HIL simulation with flightgear and have following setup.

    GCS 1.2.76, Ardupilot 2.5 and Flightgear 2.10.

    I have followed exactly the steps given in the following link.

    http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/flightgear/

    but not able to get everything working. I am facing two main issues.

    1. I am not getting Rascal airplane when I launch flightgear from GCS interface. I am not able to find what is missing.

    2. With Cessna airplane, I am able to fly manually but as soon as I put in auto mode, throttle goes to zero and aircraft starts     diving from the sky. I am not able to find what could be the probable reasons for this.

    Please friends help me out as I am really struggling with these issues.

    Hi Addy, 

    How do you select other models? I'm using the method at http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/FlightGear and I can fly missions OK with the default Cessna, but I don't know how to choose the Rascal model.

  • Rascal is small rc airplane and there are models available for simulators.

  • yeah HIL works fine. i did this for 2 models on flightgear. and the code works absolutely fine. if u need any further help please feel free to ask.

  • Hi, did you ever get flightgear hil working, I seemed to have it working initially, but 
    Are a few pod changes, and now it keeps crashing, using the default Cessna 172 aircraft, 
    Is the rascal a standard aircraft?
