We have been testing the Starling 2 Max drone for a few weeks now and having some issues. We now want to perform simulations before more flights.

We have set-up a Gazebo-based simulation environment and would like to simulate the drone as accurately as possible.

For this purpose, how do we get the full Gazebo-compatible SDF model of the Starling 2 Max, including required assets and configuration files.

1) SDF Model
2) Meshes & Textures
3) Sensors (if available)
4) Propulsion & Dynamics (if possible)

@Arsalan-Sheikh You can find a 3D STEP file here https://docs.modalai.com/starling-2-max-datasheet/

We aren't familiar with the Gazebo requirements so hopefully the STEP file gets you what you need
