Using the DeltaQuad Evo Simulator

This chapter explains how to connect to the DeltaQuad Evo simulator in Auterion Suite.

The DeltaQuad Evo simulator can be used to get familiar with the Auterion Mission Control interface and to use the pilot controls before actually flying the Evo for the first time.

Requirements:

• A registered Auterion Suite account.

• A computer running either Linux, Windows 10/11, macOS, or any Android device.

• An installation of AMC.

• A stable internet connection.

The simulator has some limitations to be aware of:

• The simulator does not accurately simulate battery usage.

• The simulator uses always a wind direction coming from the east. Therefore all the missions flown in the simulator will take off and transition in that direction.

• The simulator is limited to three locations to choose from.

• The available ISR payload is limited in its functionality.

To use the DeltaQuad Evo simulator, please follow the instructions:

1. If you haven't done so yet, please register an account in Auterion Suite. Instructions can be found here.

2. Log in to your Auterion Suite account.

1. Download and install AMC (v1.22.3) on a computer or Android device of your choice.

• Go to the Downloads tab on the left side of the screen. Click on Additional Releases.

• Click on Download 1.22.3 and select the operating system of your choice. The download will start.

1. After the installer has been downloaded, run the executable. On Windows, a window might pop up saying Windows protected your PC. Click on More info and Run anyway.

• Follow the instructions to install AMC.

1. Create a simulator session in Auterion Suite.

• In Auterion Suite, click on the Simulations tab on the left side of the screen. Click on Start Simulation.

• Choose a name for the simulation, and DeltaQuad Evo (VTOL) as the vehicle.

• Choose one of the three available locations.

• Set the Simulation Run Time.

• For full functionality, we recommend selecting Software Version 2.5.1.

• Click on Creating simulation.

• As the simulation is cloud-based, the process of creating one may take several minutes.

• After the simulation is created, copy the given IP address to the clipboard and remember the Port, which is always 5790 for the simulator.

1. Creating a Comm-Link in Auterion Mission Control.

• On the secondary device, open AMC. Navigate to AMC menu -> Comm Links. Click on Add at the bottom of the Screen.

• Enter a Name of your choice and choose Type: TCP.

Copy the IP address of the simulation into the field of the Host Address, and add 5790 as the TCP Port. Click OK.

• Choose the comm link you created and click on Connect.

• A connection with the simulator should be established within seconds.
