Hi everyone, I’ve modified an existing Hexarotor frame configuration for the QGroundControl Database, which is placed in the folloowing PX4-Autopilot Linux home folder: - PX-Autopilot/ROMFS/px4fmu\_common/init.d/airframes These are the steps I followed: 1. The configuration file is called 6001\_hexa\_x, I’ve modified the position parameters between the rotors to obtain an H-frame. 2. I copied the file and renamed it (6003\_hexa\_h for example) 3. I added a new line in the CMakeLists.txt 4. I call the command “make airframe\_metadata” to add the new airframe in pix4\_sitl build folder 5. I built the entire PX4 folder and opened gazebo with an hexarotor model, using the command “make px4\_sitl gazebo” 6. I opened QGroundControl to see the config database, but nothing changed, no new line for the new airframe was added. I think that QGroundControl is not correctly build, do you know how to solve it? Thank you ---

I faced the same problem , as far as i know, it depends on the board you’re using. In my case im using PIXHAWK1 (fmu\_v2).
