I haven't used matlab, but this question comes up regularly. Unfortunately we
have no influence on which fgfs version the matlab module works with. (I would
find it a good idea if the responsible people kept it compatible with the last
version, which wouldn't be *that* hard.)

And unfortunately, you can't even check out old 0.9.2 helicopter code, because
that was introduced in the next version: 0.9.3.  :-(

BTW: the helicopter FDM is still unfinished and lacks important features:

Only the bo105 FDM config is usable. (bell206, as350, and ch47 are IMHO not
even worth to try.)

We give what help we can, but aren't really competent for matlab specific
problems. Maybe you could ask the authors of matlab/aerosim?

Or you could try to get matlab to output the data in a way that you can feed
into the current version of fgfs (via network/telnet/etc.)
