Quadcopter simulation on AeroFly Professional Deluxe

Here, you will find the model of my Quad Rotor Observer (QRO) v5 for the AeroFly Professional Deluxe simulator

(AFPD).
This is very useful for training purposes during outside bad weather conditions and/or during our cold winter...

The QRO v5 quadcopter model for AFPD can be dowloaded HERE

Tested successfully on Aerofly Professional Deluxe v1.9.7.11

  • hi , when i download the zip file it is only 1.5 kb big and i cannot open it with 7zip program.

    the size seems a bit small. what may be the problem.

    Thank you.

    argu

  • Kindly anyone have any info about setting-up ArduPlane Hardware In Loop Simulation with Aerosim RC ?????

    please tell

    Hello Clive,

    Today, they are two best simulators for testing multicopters models with the APM firmware:

    1) AeroSIM-RC v.3.81: see my tutorial at http://code.google.com/p/ardupilotdev/wiki/HILTestAeroSIM 

    This simulator is able to reproduce HiFi model of multicopters and helicopter and this is a good test plateform for testing the tuning of PIDs

    2) X-Plane v9.70: see my tutorial at http://code.google.com/p/ardupilotdev/wiki/ArduCopter

    This simulator allows you to test quadcopter and plane in full autonomous navigation with various weathers conditions. The X-Plane simulator use real digitized map and it is fully compatible with Google Earth maps and the APM mission planner.

    If you want to test and explore deeply multicopters with the APM, I recommend you to use these to sim in HIL (Hardware In the Loop) simulation mode with your APM board.

    Hello John,

    Today for conducting test in HIL mod with the APM I am using AeroSIM-RC, the flight model is really more accuate and close to the real world, most particularly for the multicopters. Below som videos samples of HIl simulation tests done on quadcopters and helicopter connected to the APM board through the Mission Planner.

    Regards,

  • Nice modle JNL, it seems very stable compared to the heli modles and it very big in perspective. how true to life is this model compared to your real rig?

  • I am using version AFPD 1.11.07 (Mac version) and it works for me.
  • For the life of me I can not get it to load, I have AFPD 1.8.6, I'm guessing its not compatible darn I was really hoping to get in some flight experience for when my quads done
  • This model is great, it is helping already.  The only problem is that the model is in + mode and my quad is set for X mode, any chance of getting you to create a quad in an X mode?  Two yellow front arms would be preferred but red will do.  I am not picky - just hoping you can do it so that the simulation is closer to the real thing.
  • Thanks Jean:)
  • Looks great, I'm going to give it a try later today.  Thanks for sharing!
