# Run simulation for 60 seconds sim.set_dt(0.02) # 50 Hz update for i in range(int(60.0 / sim.get_dt())): sim.run() # advances one timestep # Read properties: alt = sim['position/h-sl-ft'] pitch = sim['attitude/theta-deg'] airspeed = sim['velocities/vt-knots'] # (log or print as needed)
For the first time, Alex wasn’t just running a simulation. They were flying a simulation. The numbers weren’t abstract; they were the drone’s soul. jsbsim tutorial
— download JSBSim, open the c172.xml , change one coefficient (e.g., CL_de = -0.4 to -0.7), and feel the aircraft become more pitch-sensitive. That’s the power of first-principles flight dynamics in your hands. Building Your First Virtual Aircraft: A JSBSim Tutorial
