Support for FlightGear 1. 9. 1 Aerospace Toolbox Version 3. 4 now supports FlightGear Version 1. 9. 1. For more information on working with FlightGear, see "Using Aero. FlightGearAnimation Objects" in the Aerospace Toolbox User's Guide. 6 Version 2. 3 (R2009a) Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 3 (R2009a) Aerospace Toolbox This table summarizes what's new in Version 2. 3 (R2009a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No · "Support to Read File Type 21 for 2007 Version of DATCOM" on page 7 · "Using FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox" on page 7 Support to Read File Type 21 for 2007 Version of DATCOM The datcomimport function has been enhanced to read file type 21 for 2007 DATCOM files. In previous releases, the Aerospace Toolbox read only file type 6. Using FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 3 does not support FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. You can use this procedure. 1 In the MATLAB Command Window, create a FlightGear animation object. h = Aero. FlightGearAnimation; 2 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearVersion to 1. 0. h. FlightGearVersion = '1. 0'; 3 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearBaseDirectory to the location of FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. h. FlightGearBaseDirectory = 'C:\Program Files\FlightGear190' 7 Aerospace Toolbox Release Notes 4 Generate the run script. GenerateRunScript(h) 5 Open the custom FlightGear run script with a text editor and change the input parameter '--airport-id=' to '--airport='. 6 Save and close this file. For more information on working with FlightGear, see "Using Aero. FlightGearAnimation Objects" in the Aerospace Toolbox User's Guide. 8 Version 2. 2 (R2008b) Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 2 (R2008b) Aerospace Toolbox This table summarizes what's new in Version 2. 2 (R2008b): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site Printable Release Notes: PDF Current product documentation New features and changes introduced in this version are · "Support for 2007 Version of DATCOM File" on page 9 · "FlightGear Version 1. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox" on page 9 · "FlightGear Animation Object play Method Now Supports Custom Timers" on page 10 Support for 2007 Version of DATCOM File The datcomimport function has been enhanced to support the 2007 DATCOM file in addition to the 1976 and 1999 DATCOM files. FlightGear Version 1. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 2 now supports FlightGear Version 1. 0. To access this version of FlightGear, you can use this procedure. 1 In the MATLAB Command Window, create a FlightGear animation object. h = Aero. FlightGearAnimation; 2 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearVersion to 1. 0. h. FlightGearVersion = '1. 0'; 9 Aerospace Toolbox Release Notes 3 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearBaseDirectory to the location of FlightGear Version 1. 0. h. FlightGearBaseDirectory = 'C:\Program Files\FlightGear10' For more information on working with FlightGear, see "Using Aero. FlightGearAnimation Objects" in the Aerospace Toolbox User's Guide. FlightGear Animation Object play Method Now Supports Custom Timers The FlightGear animation object play method now supports custom timers. In previous releases, you needed to create your own play method if your FlightGear animation object was used with custom timers. This is no longer necessary. 10 Version 2. 1 (R2008a) Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 1 (R2008a) Aerospace Toolbox This table summarizes what's new in Version 2. 1 (R2008a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No · "Support for 1999 Version of DATCOM File" on page 11 · "Using FlightGear Version 1. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox" on page 11 Support for 1999 Version of DATCOM File The datcomimport function has been enhanced to support the 1999 DATCOM file in addition to the 1976 DATCOM file.
