Is it possible to do simulating in X-Plane of the ArduCopter code, I've done it on ArduPilot with the Mission Planner software, but I haven't seen any instructions on how to do so for ArduCopter.

I successufully configured the UDB Red Board with MatrixPilot software (2_5_1 version) and managed to perform the first tests on Xplane with HILPlugin, but there's still something I did not get yet:
I calibrated the Mag with the CLI till the numbers didnt change.
When I watch the artificial horizon, the heading drifts.
Over 5 minutes the heading shifts 45 deg.
I set the declination to 6 decimal points to see if that helped.
Could this be related to

I am looking for an example of what the ArduIMU data looks like.
One can log it using e.g. Logomatic or another SD card shield.
Please post you data here or email me.
All formats are OK.
