WARNING

This simulator is community supported and maintained. It may or may not work with current versions of PX4.

See Toolchain Installation for information about the environments and tools supported by the core development team.

AirSim is a open-source, cross platform simulator for drones, built on Unreal Engine. It provides physically and visually realistic simulations of Pixhawk/PX4 using either Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) or Software-In-The-Loop (SITL).

PX4 Setup

PX4 Setup for AirSim describes how to use PX4 with AirSim using both SITL and HITL.
