How to simulate both UAVs and cars using AirSim?

[UrYuWang]

Hello.
I want to use AirSim to simulate UAV and car at the same time. I found there is one solution for Linux, and I wonder if there is a solution for Windows 10.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @UrYuWang! and welcome! can you share that solution for Linux, please?

I think @UrYuWang is referring to the repo used in this guide. By the looks of it though, it seems like this should also work for Windows too.

There is one called AirSim augmentation. You can search it in GitHub. Jonathan <[email protected]> 于 2021年2月9日周二 11:42写道：

I couldn't run the bash files. That is the issue of using it on windows. Ahmed Elsaharti <[email protected]> 于 2021年2月9日周二 下午1:45写道：

Hi @UrYuWang, I haven't tested this myself yet, but based on what you're saying I think the issue is that after adding the modified files you're following the Linux build steps on windows rather than the Windows build steps. Try building this way after adding the files.

[UrYuWang]

After I run the build.cmd file and replace the plugins folder, it pops "invalid mode: Both". I don't know if this works for you.
There must be something wrong I think.

[ahmed-elsaharti]

As the guide suggests, you need to replace the files first before building.
That being said, I dont think this mod is directly compatible with the latest AirSim commit due to multiple conflicts (based on a test I just ran, there was a decent amount of errors on trying to compile)
If this were to work, I think you would need to go through all the files in the custom repo and copy the effective changes to the latest AirSim commit.
OR
You could try to go back to an AirSim commit from 6 months ago (around the time the custom repo was made) and run that with the custom files rather than the latest commit.

Hi, Ahmed. Thanks a lot! I think you pointed out the issue directly! Best, Yu Ahmed Elsaharti <[email protected]> 于2021年2月9日周二 下午2:07写道：

Thanks, Ahmed!
@UrYuWang, can you share with us why you are interested in simulating cars and drones together?

[UrYuWang]

I am working on a car chasing simulation.
I am still facing the issue on windows. It shows "both" is not a valid simulation type.
I literally don't know which part went wrong. Have you tried it on windows?
