Breaking changes

As a result of moving the center of gravity, the vehicle drives a bit different. From now on please use this version for testing if you are participating in FSOnline 2020.

The following lidar settings keys from the settings.json have been renamed:

  • Renamed setting NumberOfChannels to NumberOfLasers (link)
  • Renamed setting PointsPerSecond to PointsPerScan (link)

Some new lidar competition rules have been added to ensure some level of realism:

  • The vertical inter-laser angle must be at least 0,18 degrees be no larger than 180 degrees. (link)
  • The rotation frequency must be between 5 and 20 Hz. (link)
    *For each lidar, during a single rotation, the number of collected points for 1 laser must be not higher than 2048 for 360 degrees.
    (link)
  • The number of collected points per lidar per laser per second cannot exceed 20480.

  • From now on all data published in ros is in the ENU frame. See #112
  • Move the unreal engine to ros camera bridge into it's own ros node to improve performance. See #95
  • Publish the cone locations to ros for testing purposes. #96
  • Split message types into a separate fs_msgs package #100
  • Implement direct translation between unreal timestamps and ros instead of relative timestamp translations #103
  • Added a new default, performance-optimized training map #104
  • Fix bug where imu data is always 0 #114

Use beta-3-debug.zip!! The release package without debug has a bug described in #115

Pre-release

Don't use this. Theoretically this project should be usable at this point but it hasn't been tested enough.
