Dear all,

I would like to ask you a couple of questions about reliably simulating the Starling-2 drone in a robotic simulator (preferably Gazebo).

- Do you have/provide an SDF of Starling-2 for Gazebo?
- Do you have some documentation for simulation in general that is similar to this (https://developer.parrot.com/docs/sphinx/index.html)? 
- Do you have some system identification results for the motor and propeller couple (speed vs thrust)?
- I know the autopilot part (PX4) can be run as software in the loop (https://docs.px4.io/main/en/simulation/), but I wonder if the VOXL SDK can be run in an Ubuntu desktop computer (as a ROS node or non-ROS)?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Kağan

@kgn-mdlai Is HITL interesting for your purposes? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/
