Question

What's your question?

Is there support for helicopter flight controllers such as a joystick and rudders? The AirSim literature focuses primarily on controlling the drone via the API, Xbox controller (in-sim or through QGoundControl), or using an RC controller (through QGroundControl), however, I haven't seen any literature regarding helicopter flight controllers.

Include context on what you are trying to achieve

I would like to simulate an AirSim drone as a helicopter. Here is an example of a flight controller setup.

Context details

Windows 10 Unreal Engine 4.24.3

Include details of what you already did to find answers

Searched AirSim / QGroundControl / PX4 literature, and found no results.

Hi @denmonz! Does QGroundControl have a way to connect a helicopter flight controller to it?

Have you found a solution for adding a helicopter aerodynamic model?
