Derived from http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=topics_subscribed

Make sure you have installed gazebo dependencies

sudo apt-get install libgazebo9-dev

AirLib build

This project is built with g++, so AirLib needs to be built with g++ too. Change lines 56 and 57 of AirSim/build.sh with:

export CC="gcc-8"
export CXX="g++-8"

then run ./setup.sh and ./build.sh

AirSim plugin

The AirSim UE plugin needs to be built with clang, so you can't use the one compiled in the previous step. You can use our binaries or you can clone AirSim again in another folder without the above change, and with that one, run Blocks or your environment.

AirSim settings

Inside your settings.json file add this line:
"PhysicsEngineName":"ExternalPhysicsEngine"

Build

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Run

Run AirSim and Gazebo

then run:

cd build
./GazeboDrone
