As the old “ignition” (gazebo 5 based) is not retired, and the “gz” (Gazebo garden) is the main simulator, I noticed that PX4 v1.13’s ignition simulation won’t work with current ignition gazebo packages available (v1.14 ~).
So I have left comment in this issue to address this problem:

gazebo classic
v1.13
Issue Description:
Unable to start gz_x500 or gazebo simulation targets, in lat… est version (1.13.3) of px4 using Ubuntu 22 OS as development environment. But jmavsim works as usual.
Terminal Command:
make px4_sitl gz_x500
Logs:
ninja: error: unknown target 'gz_x500'
make: *** [Makefile:232: px4_sitl] Error 1
**Detailed Description:**
OS Version : Ubuntu 22
Machine Capacity: intel i9 64 bit machine
Steps to reproduce:
1. clone the master codebase
git clone https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git --recursive
2. Checkout the v1.13.3 and update submodules
git switch -c v1.13.3
make submodulesclean
3. Install dependent packages
bash ./Tools/setup/ubuntu.sh
4. Compile for gazebo gz_x500 Target
make px4_sitl gz_x500

Key summary is:
Update “simulation-ignition” to use Gazebo6
Remove force to use Gazebo 5 condition in sitl run script
