v1.1.0 - Expanded Airframe Support and Enhanced Stability

v1.1.0 - Expanded Airframe Support and Enhanced Stability

I am excited to bring you version 1.1.0 of the PX4 X-Plane Plugin, delivering a more robust experience and added support for new airframes for simulation enthusiasts and professionals.

What's Improved

• Magnetometer issues? Solved. Now you get more reliable heading information for precise simulations.
• Introducing support for a diverse set of airframes: the classic Cessna 172 (Fixed Wing), modern Alia-250 (quadplane VTOL), and the Ehang 184 (Quad Copter).

Grab and Go

• Predefined airframes make setup much easier– no manual parameter imports are required. Just select and simulate! (but wait until this pull request merges with the PX4 codebase)
• The .params files are still available in the zip file.
• Check out our forked PX4 repo with the new airframes ready to go: PX4 Fork with Airframes

Easy Setup

• Switching airframes? Remember to run make clean to avoid conflicts in PX4 SITL.
• Your step-by-step guide for the new integration is right here: PX4 Integration Guide

Coming Soon

• Linux folks, sorry but I've got you covered – binary builds are on the way. If you've got the CMake files, help me out with a pull request.
• Your custom airframe setup is getting easier with our improvedconfig.ini – more details to follow in our tutorials.
