Please help and thank you.
I haven't done this so I'm not sure if it will work. But if you have the Aerospace Toolbox installed, you should be able to find 'Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear' and 'Send net_fdm Packet to FlightGear' under Aerospace Blockset > Animation > Flight Simulator Interfaces. Add the two blocks and connect the output of the 'Pack' block to the input of 'Send' block. Double click on the 'Pack' block and check 'Show velocity/acceleration inputs', then try sending in the appropiate signals. Note that Simulink only has support up to version 0.9.10.
