[Canberrauav] video of HIL simulation with FlightGear

I've put together a video (a desktop recording) showing the FlightGear
flight simulator in a "hardware in the loop" simulation with the
ArduPilotMega and the qgroundcontrol ground control system.

The idea of doing a video is to give everyone a bit of an idea of what
we can do with HIL simulation, without wasting lots of time at one of
our meetings.

The video is here:

Unfortunately the audio lags badly behind the video once the flightsim
starts - I suspect that doing video recording while running the
flightsim caused a bit too much load on my old CPUs. So when the audio
track doesn't line up with what you're seeing on screen, it's up to
you to work out what is actually happening :-)

If anyone else is interesting in setting this up for themselves then I
can put together a HOWTO. Do we plan on having a project wiki for that
sort of thing?

Cheers, Tridge
