Scarab Vtol Roll and Pitch Stabilization

Focus: Scarab VTOL Integration and Input System Enhancements.

  • Scarab VTOL Aircraft Added: Integrated VTOL flight mode capabilities.
  • JSBSim VTOL JSBSim PID Implementation: Rewritten PID for stabilizing Scarab along the Pitch and Roll axes in VTOL mode.

Fixes

  • Joystick Loss on Restart Fixed: Resolved an issue where input devices could be lost upon session restart.

Improvements

  • JSBSim Configuration Integration: Added aircraft inertia calculation file to the repository for proper JSBSim configuration.
  • Raw Input Curve Application: Applied input curves to Raw Joystick Data to smooth out and reduce the abruptness of the aircraft’s response to input, improving overall flight control feel.

Next Steps

  • VTOL Yaw Stabilization: Beginning work on writing and tuning the PID stabilization for Yaw control. (Current VTOL mode behavior is showing promising results).
