Animation/Flight Simulator Interfaces
The Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear block creates, from separate inputs, a FlightGear net_fdm data packet compatible with a particular version of FlightGear flight simulator. All the signals supported by the FlightGear net_fdm data packet are supported by this block. The signals are arranged into six groups. Any group can be turned on or off. Zeros are inserted for packet values that are part of inactive signal groups.
See Inputs and Outputs for details on signals and signal groups.
Supported FlightGear versions: v0.9.3, v0.9.8/0.9.8a, v0.9.9, v0.9.10, v1.0
