Mattay does it again: here's an alpha of his new desktop autopilot simulator. The software simulates an autopilot, and you connect it to FlightGear, which simulates the sensors. This allows you to try different autopilot algorithms and tweak settings on the ground (this is different from a "hardware in the loop" simulation, which uses real autopilot hardware). Requires Windows and the .Net framework. Mattay says that he'll be releasing the source code soon. Very impressive!
