Hi guys,
I install the PX4 Toolchain on my Windows 10 laptop and I get this warning Failed sending mavlink message: Address family not supported by protocol here is my console output :

After some research I found that his cause by the TCP connect on 0.0.0.0 from here https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/blob/master/src/modules/simulator/simulator_mavlink.cpp#L663 I find post that mentioned it works on Linux because they redirect it to 127.0.0.1 and I can be confirm by pinging the 0.0.0.0, but it doesn't work on a Windows machine.
For some reason, I tried on an other Windows 10 computer and I did get this warning. I compare my route on both and seems similar between each other.
But the computer with the warning has the Windows 10 October update (1809) and the one working has not.
As you know jMAVSim depends on the first heartbeat to initialize MAVLink. So it never happen because of the warning.
I hope we will find the problem together, Regards,
