Visualizing the State of a Simulink Aircraft Model Using X-Plane

In this video we show how to use X-Plane 10 to draw/animate an aircraft that is being simulated in Simulink. Instead of sending the states of the aircraft to a scope, we send the states to X-Plane which can render the aircraft and surrounding environment. This is achieved by writing custom X-Plane plugins that allow X-Plane to communicate with Simulink.

Topics and timestamps:
0:00 – Introduction
0:37 – Block diagram outline
2:40 – Downloading and installing X-Plane 10
5:44 – Developing X-Plane plugins
10:22 – Sending UDP packets from Simulink model
12:56 – Setting up X-Plane
19:05 – Flying the simulation
