Flight Gear UAV Autopilot System

This is my UAV autopilot system which implements taking off, navigating among waypoints and landing. A generic control loop feedback mechanism PID controller is employed. The simulator being used is Flight Gear v1.9. The talk between autopilot system and simulator is through socket. Thanks for watching.

plz can u tell me how to make autopilot in flightgear

You should implement a roll-rate limiter to prevent quick aileron-jerk actions when arriving at waypoints... it would prevent unnecessary aerodynamic forces (and aileron drag) while doing maneuvers. Also, you probably should implement a velocity controlled by pitch algorithm, that way in case of partial or total loss of engine power, your UAV would still gracefully maintain control without the need for a switch between logics at a critical time,and be useful for automated stall recovery. A+ :P
