This page serves as a reference for the elements of [[FlightGear]] xml [[autopilot]] configuration files. It describes all elements available within the autopilot configuration file supported in the bleeding edge [[Git]] sources. Some of the elements may not be available in the current release version of FlightGear. | : ''For a guide on how to model an autopilot using these elements, see [[Howto:Design an autopilot]].'' | ||
The '''property rules''' used for '''autopilot configuration''' can also be used for other kinds of systems modeling. The controllers and filters allow for both simple and complex systems to be modeled. By using the output from one as the input to another one, very complex systems such as fly-by-wire systems with different control laws can be modeled. | |||
