The Best & Easy simulation method for plane ..!

ArduPlane Plane Simulation
1

Hi all ,

Before two months I try to work with simulation for my plane but always I found problems ,
I try flight gear , Xplane 10 , but they didn’t work well for me ,

Now I want to try it again, and simulate my mission at home .

I heard about HIL and STIL but I didn’t get the Idea it works.

Could any one advice me for the perfect and successful way to simulate with any software .

Regards.

Use SITL, it works by simulating HW sensors http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-simulator-software-in-the-loop.html#sitl-simulator-software-in-the-loop

It’s better that HIL since you don’t need to have HW to do the testing, which means you can do it much easily.

@billb ,

what about if i want to simulate mission using MP and flight gear only ?

With simple steps ,

Check then mission planner docs, I personally don’t use it http://ardupilot.org/planner/index.html

@billb ,

I went throw the link you post for sitting up the SiTL on windows ,

but I find some misunderstanding in some points .

Setting_up_SITL_on_Windows_—_Dev_documentation_-_2016-06-05_21.40.55.png753×630 32.3 KB

I get error when I send the command " sim_vehicle.sh -j4 --map "

command not found .
I think the problem is I couldn’t do the step for the .bashrc file .

How to add the line code " export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/ardupilot/Tools/autotest " to the end of the file ?

but it dosen’t work …

any help ?

regards .

I’ve never ran SITL on Windows. I just create a Linux VM and run it in that. (I use OSX for my development work or linux)
