@Jaeyoung-Lim I am trying to add lidar(gpu_ray) to the x500 model in Gazebo(ignition) by following this instructions https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/sensors . However, It is not working properly, the simulator stops and crashes. Is this a PX4 problem?

[Jaeyoung-Lim]

@SangwooJ I don't think so

@Jaeyoung-Lim Thanks for the reply. Currently, is it possible to add Lidar(gpu_ray) to the x500 in the gazebo ignition(garden)?
