### Specifying MAVLink dialects
The MAVLink dialect compiled by default by QGC is for the ardupilotmega. This will happen if no other dialects are specified. Setting the `MAVLINK_CONF` variable sets the dialects, with more than one specified in a space-separated list. Note that doing this may result in compilation errors as certain dialects may conflict with each other!
### MAVLink dialect generator
An add-on is available for QGC that provides a UI for generating MAVLink dialects from within QGC. This feature has been deprecated since identical functionality now exists within the MAVLink project itself. Enable this functionality by specifying the `DEFINES` variable `ENABLE_MAVGEN`.
### Opal-RT's RT-LAB simulator
Integration with Opal-RT's RT-LAB simulator can be enabled on Windows by installing RT-LAB 7.2.4. This allows vehicles to be simulated in RT-LAB and communicate directly with QGC on the same computer as if the UAS was actually deployed. This support is enabled by default once the requisite RT-LAB software is installed. Disabling this can be done by adding `DISABLE_RTLAB` to the `DEFINES` variable.
Code Generator for the MAVLink Micro Air Vehicle Message Marshalling Library
This is a code generator for the library for lightweight communication between
Micro Air Vehicles and/or ground control stations.
It serializes C-structs for serial channels and can be used with
any type of radio modem.

MAVLink's reference implementation is done in the QGroundControl operator control unit. MAVLink is however not tied in any way to QGroundControl nor does it depend on it. Many other groundstations (APM Planner, HK GCS, Copter-GCS) support it and might be better suited for your application than QGC - check them out.
