The FDC software and user-manual
The FDC toolbox is available as free download from the SourceForge servers. Currently, there are two versions of this toolbox: FDC 1.2.1, which requires Matlab 4.2c and Simulink 1.3, and FDC 1.3.3, which requires Matlab 5.1 and Simulink 2.1 or later.
In addition to these current FDC versions, there is also a 'beta release' of the upcoming FDC 1.4 available via the Dutchroll CVS tree at SourceForge, and in the form of a zipped archive. This version is compatible with Matlab Release 11 or newer.
It is also strongly recommended to download the FDC user-manual. Although it was written for FDC 1.2, it is also very usable as a reference for FDC 1.3, and for the time being also for FDC 1.4 beta, because the core models and tools are quite similar in these FDC versions and because it provides extensive theoretical information about flight simulation, aircraft modeling, etc. A new user-manual for FDC 1.4 is under construction; see the news page for more information.
Other available downloads
The Dutchroll Blockset for Simulink (DUBSI) is a useful general-purpose blocklibrary which was created as a spin-off from the FDC development. The latest version, DUBSI 1.0.2, is also available as free download.
The Other Downloads page was created to provide additional scientific documentation that is closely related to the FDC toolbox. At present, this page offers downloadable scanned versions of an FDC-related paper and the MSc-thesis of M.O. Rauw.
