Alex left a comment for Colin Mellars
"Hello Colin,
Sounds like cool stuff.
I am doing something similar. I have interfaced flightgear & matlab (using XML, I don't know if there's any simpler way). I am working on my autopilot hardware, very soon it may need H-I-L
I am probably first one…"

Alex commented on Michal B's blog post ArduPilot successful flight simulation
"Is it possible to extract bearing information from X-plane or Flightgear ?
I was trying to simulate Bill's UAV dev board in similar way as Michael has done. Only difference is I want to use bearing (VOR) navigation in place of GPS and gain values…"

Alex commented on jaron's blog post UAV Playground 1.2 - An approach to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
"Thanks jaron for detail explanation, I went through all your posts but still couldn't success in interfacing FG to GE :(
I am getting errors while compiling 'FlightGearNMEAReceiver' alone without using 'Processing'. Any ideas on avoiding Processing…"

Alex commented on jaron's blog post UAV Playground 1.2 - An approach to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
"Hi Jaron, I looked into your code & couldn't separate just 'Flightgear & google earth' communication part from it.

I have autopilot code in Matlab which is communicating very well through udp, now I just want to pull out gps info from FG to GE to…"

Alex commented on jaron's blog post UAV Playground 1.2 - An approach to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
"Thanks jaron, I think I can make it work. May bug you later with few questions if I get stuck somewhere ;)

@DJB: That mathswork's toolbox is NOT useful at all. All they have is 1way interface to Flightgear, it can't get you data back from…"

"Any suggestions on implementing similar stuff through Matlab/Simulink ?

I want to interface Flightgear & Google-earth though Matlab/simulink with exact similar concept which 'Jaron' has done."

Alex commented on Wayne's photo
"Wayne,
Cool Pic...!
I assume it's a sports aircraft ?
Do you know what Autopilot is installed in it?"

Alex commented on Paul Marsh's blog post A Loaded Question (I think)
"Hi Varga, Thanks for commenting on my post.

Like I have mentioned above, I am working on autopilot for manned airplane (smaller planes such as Cessna or Pipers).
Do you think one Gyro & GPS combination should be enough i/p for heading/roll control…"

Alex commented on Paul Marsh's blog post A Loaded Question (I think)
"Hello everyone,
This is the place I was looking for a long time where I can talk & discuss my issues!
I am an undergrad student (majoring in EE, controls) and was working on a MATLAB based simulation of an autopilot for smaller personal aircraft…"
