There is some good news (I hope on this front.) I have spoken with one
of the lead matlab/simulink developers, and we have discussed ways to
improve FlightGear <=> matlab interoperability. I believe the next
version of simulink (and FlightGear) will have some improvements here,
although I don't know all the specific details of how future maintanance
would work. (And I don't know enough about matlab to make any sort of
guesses.)
Regards,
Curt.

I'm new to this group and I'd like to ask you some questions.
Hi & welcome.
I'm developing an automatic flight control system for helicopters as a final
year project. I'd like to link matlab/aerosim blockset with flightgear but I
haven't been able to do it with the newest version of flightgear. Nervertheless,
I've tried with an old version (v 0.9.2) and it is possible with airplanes but I
can't install any helicopter.
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:
http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2003-October/021940.html
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.)
