RflySim v5.00 Changelog (Beta Version)

  • CopterSim flight simulator undergoes a modern UI upgrade, adding light/dark themes, high DPI support, and window interactions closer to native Windows applications.
  • CopterSim adds a WebSocket control service, supporting web-based flight status monitoring, GPS coordinate/yaw control, and can work with RflyGuide for web remote monitoring.
  • CopterSim improves multi-platform compilation and packaging workflows for Windows, WSL/Linux, ARM, etc., and optimizes the NoUI headless operation mode.
  • QGC ground station is upgraded to a data-driven firmware and vehicle model configuration system, supporting more flexible adaptation to different PX4 firmware versions and different aircraft models.
  • QGC adds a JoystickMavlinkBridge joystick bridge plugin, supporting conversion of joystick input into MAVLink commands, facilitating cloud debugging and cross-computer debugging.
  • GCS-Lite lightweight ground station is fully upgraded, enhancing device access, LAN scanning, network configuration, MAVRouter automatic deployment, and multi-device port management capabilities.
  • GCS-Lite adds flight control, mission planning, real-vehicle waypoint protocol, emergency landing slide-to-unlock, and multi-vehicle coordinated execution status functions.
  • GCS-Lite adds 2D/3D map, point cloud map loading, map resource management, relocalization, and handheld mapping capabilities.
  • GCS-Lite enhances video monitoring, sensor management, remote video nodes, resource data management, flight logs, and fault notification functions.
  • GCS-Lite adds flight controller parameter management and parameter version synchronization capabilities, and completes Light/Dark theme, status bar, notification center, and multi-page UI refactoring.
  • Adds ArduPilot (APM) SITL simulation adaptation, supporting APM quadcopter and fixed-wing startup scripts, APM mode switching, and one-click shutdown process.
  • Adds RflySim IP Manager LAN IP management tool, facilitating quick verification, allocation, and management of device IPs in multi-vehicle simulation and distributed experiments.
  • DistSim distributed simulation enhances parameter management, remote execution, heartbeat broadcasting, device identification, and network switching capabilities, and fixes multiple Linux communication stability issues.
  • Adds RflyGuide intelligent navigation and example center, integrating local tool launch, example plaza, SDK documentation, environment detection, global search, and web remote monitoring entry.
  • RflySim3D UE4 enhances runtime model import, map switching, free camera, playback recovery, camera gimbal, optical flow, and ranging visualization simulation capabilities.
  • RflySimUE5 synchronizes UE4 runtime capabilities, and adds virtual lab assembly UI, multi-rotor motor direction configuration, and UE5.2 project adaptation.
  • Ros2Trans communication bridge is upgraded, fixing MAVROS coordinate transformation, velocity control, battery status, multi-vehicle stream request, and other issues, and adds DllModel and ROS1/ROS2 encoding/decoding support.
  • Ros2Trans improves ROS2, DDS, WSL2 FastDDS, cross-distribution packaging, and automatic environment configuration capabilities, enhancing deployment migration and runtime stability.
  • One-click installation package is updated to v5.00 beta content, adds GCS-Lite installation support, and supports direct uninstallation via uninstall.exe in the installation directory.
  • PX4 firmware and PSP toolchain are updated, adding multi-version adaptation of PX4 1.14-1.17 for the Zhuoyi Racer (ZYFC-H7) flight controller, and upgrading PX4 1.16.2 firmware.
  • RflySimAPIs and model compilation tools enhance ARM64 architecture DLL/SO cross-compilation support, and optimize API packaging, file verification, and path rules.
  • Synchronously updates RflySim3D UE4/UE5 scene expansion packs, SimCreate content, CopterSim executables, and related component resources.
  • RflySimAPIs adds 16 experimental examples, covering AI Skill, 3D scene and model import, power system modeling, model credibility assessment, LQR control, Sim2Real, ROSTrans, visual following, and swarm pipeline navigation.
  • Existing examples are synchronously updated with multiple optimizations and fixes for documentation, metadata, model compilation scripts, flight controller workflows, ROS/DDS, vision, and swarm experiments.
