@arwagoner maybe you can leave here also your latest experience with the Gazebo side and the current state
In my experience, only quadcopters are reliably supported in Gazebo. The standard vtol airframe is able to takeoff in Gazebo, but it doesn't seem to respond to any landing commands. Neither plane airframe (sys_autostart 1000, 2100) works with Gazebo at all. If it is feasible, it would be great to have all types of airframes (at least their generic versions) working with one simulator.
Re "what currently works", the docs list is here: https://dev.px4.io/en/simulation/hitl.html#compatible_airframe
I don't know what we want to support, but I'd argue that if we're going to support something:
I like the idea of having a simulator that supports all vehicle types, and gazebo would seem to be the one with the greatest traction.
I am doing research on HITL platform of Tailsitter. I'm very interested on this function. Could I join this?
@jingego Sure, but probably better to hold actual "discussion" on slack in #hitl channel.
@dagar Ping. There has been a lot of chatter on HITL recently. Can we progress this or redefine it in any way to an acheivable goal? Minimally, I'd like to see a HITL setup in automatic testing for Gazebo on copter, plane, vtol.
Keep it open!
