SITL tailsitter does not found /lpe/tailsitter file

PX4 Autopilot VTOL šŸš

Hi,

I used Gazebo SITL with tailsitter VTOL without any problem but I have pull the master repository yesterday and since the ā€œmake posix_sitl_default gazebo_tailsitterā€ command does not work because the /src/Firmware/posix-configs/SITL/init/lpe/tailsitter file is not found:

I tried to copy Firmware/posix-configs/SITL/init/ekf2/gazebo_tailsitter file in Firmware/posix-configs/SITL/init/lpe and rename it tailsitter: Gazebo is started but commander takeoff does not make the VTOL take off (nothing happens).

Itā€™s just tailsitter SITL which does not work, standard VTOL or other models are ok.

  • Another people canā€™t use SITL tailsitter since few days (since last merge ?) ?
  • Maybe ā€œmake posix_sitl_default gazebo_tailsitterā€ have to use Firmware/posix-configs/SITL/init/ekf2/gazebo_tailsitter file Firmware/posix-configs/SITL/init/lpe/tailsitter ?

Thanks

Hi,
Same problem after the last pullā€¦ I had to revert back to the previous version
I think the changes were done here:

Pls let me of the fix as well. trying to get the VTOL tailsitter to fly and do transition in SITL.

Thanks
