PX4 X-Plane SITL Ultimate Setup Guide: Fly Custom eVTOL & Drones in Real Worlds - Version 1.0.0
Welcome to the first release (v1.0.0 Beta) of the open-source PX4Xplane plugin! This guide will walk you through how to set up the PX4 X-Plane Plugin and build the PX4 SITL environment.
It currently supports quadcopters, but I plan to expand to other airframes soon.
Fly your drones, eVTOLs, or Air Taxis over real landscapes in X-Plane, test and develop your flight controls PIDs and parameters, and even experience it all in VR!
Then you can use the generated log files from the flight and analyze it as if there were a real flight... the best educational tool ever!
