It now uses the Product block. Saving and Restoring the Complete SimState Use the new SimState feature to save the complete simulation state. Unlike the final states stored in earlier versions of Simulink, the SimState contains the complete simulation state of the model (including block states that are logged). You can then restore the state at a later time and continue simulation from the exact instant at which you stopped the simulation. See "Saving and Restoring the Simulation State as the SimState" in the Simulink User's Guide. Using FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0 with Aerospace Blockset Software Version 3. 3 of Aerospace Blockset software does not support FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. You can use this procedure. 1 In the Simulink model, double-click the FlightGear Preconfigured 6DoF Animation block or the Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear block. 7 Aerospace BlocksetTM Release Notes The block parameter dialog box is displayed. 2 In the FlightGear version parameter, select v1. 0. 3 In the Simulink model, double-click the Generate Run Script block. The block parameter dialog box is displayed. 4 In the FlightGear base directory parameter, set the FlightGear base folder to the location of FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. 5 Click the Generate Script button. The block creates a custom FlightGear run script. 6 Open the custom FlightGear run script with a text editor and change the input parameter '--airport-id=' to '--airport='. 7 Save and close this file.

New features and changes introduced in this version are · "New MATLAB Animation Block" on page 16 · "New Pilot Joystick All Block" on page 16 · "WGS84 Gravity Model Block Modified" on page 16 · "New Aerospace Blockset Demo" on page 17 New MATLAB Animation Block The MATLAB Animation block creates a six-degrees-of-freedom animation of multiple bodies that have custom geometries. It is based on the Aero. Animation object. New Pilot Joystick All Block The Pilot Joystick All block provides a joystick interface on Windows® platforms. This block is the same as Pilot Joystick, but its Output configuration parameter is set by default to AllOutputs. It outputs six analog channels, buttons, and point of view indicators. WGS84 Gravity Model Block Modified The first input of the WGS84 Gravity Model block is now a three-signal vector that contains the position in geodetic latitude, longitude, and altitude. The 16 Version 2. 3 (R2007a) Aerospace BlocksetTM second optional input is now a scalar that contains the manually-specified Julian centuries. [. . . ] When using metric units, values will differ from the previous version of the Aerospace Blockset product at the second decimal place (0. 0x) due to corrections in the metric altitude to measure wind speed. It has been changed from six meters to ~6. 096 meters. The specification calls for 20 feet and the new metric altitude is the exact conversion. When using English units, density units have changed from lbm/ft3 to slugs/ft3. [. . . ]
