 A more complex way to generate training data is by writing client code that uses our APIs. This allows you to be in full control of how, what, where and when you want to log data. See the next section for more details.
 
 ## Programmatic control
-The AirSim exposes easy to use APIs in order to retrive data from the drones that includes ground truth, sensor data as well as various images. It also exposes APIs to control the drones in a platform independent way. This allows you to use your code to control different drones platforms, for example, Pixhawk or DJI Matrice, without making changes as well as without having to learn internal protocols details.

This allows you to use your code to control different drones platforms, for example, Pixhawk or DJI Matrice, without making changes as well as without having to learn internal protocols details. 
 
 These APIs are also available as a part of a separate independent cross-platform library so you can deploy them on an offboard computer on your vehicle. This way you can write and test your code in simulator and later execute it on the real drones. Transfer learning and related research is one of our focus areas.

 To run the simulator, you need an environment and its very easy to create one! [Unreal Marketplace](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace) has dozens of prebuilt extra-ordinarily detailed [environments](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/content-cat/assets/environments) ranging from Moon to Mars and everything in between. The one we have used for testing is called [Modular Neighborhood Pack](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/modular-neighborhood-pack) but you can use any environment.
   1. Either purchase an environment from Unreal Marketplace or choose one of the free ones such as [Infinity Blade series](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/infinity-blade-plain-lands). Alternatively, if you look under the Learn tab in Epic Game Launcher, you will find many free samples that you can use. One of our favorites is "A Boy and His Kite" which is a 100 square miles of highly detailed environment (caution: you will need *very* beefy PC to run it!).

 5. You can usually arm the vehicle by lowering and bringing two sticks of RC together (you don't need QGroundControl after the initial setup). Now you can use RC to fly in the simulator. Typically the Altitude mode gives better experience for beginners because this mode lets the autopilot automatically maintain an altitude when the throttle stick is approximately in the middle.
