We are using a version of 1.17alpha from a few weeks ago. This may or may not matter. In our ground testing (props off) of our trimotor tilrtrotor vtol vehicle, we observed that when transitioning from MC to FW, the first time that we flip the switch, the motors go directly to their FW tilt, seemingly ignoring the transition logic that dictates going to the vt_tilt_trans position and holding until the airspeed is built up. before we take this to the skies, we want to make sure we understand exactly why this is occuring.
it believes it is on the ground. that is the solution
