4 years ago Maybe I'm blind, but I do not see any error message.... so I will try point you what can you test:
in the file: https://github.com/ThunderFly-aerospace/PX4-FlightGear-Bridge/blob/master/FG_run.py there are lots of lines (106-133). which reduces FG graphic quality. We expected, that they improve performance (FPS). You can simply try to comment some of them out (or all) by # at beginning of the line.
Exactly only these lines are obligatory: "--aircraft=" + model, "--fg-aircraft=" + fgmodelsdir, "--generic=socket,out,100,127.0.0.1,"+str(15200+px4id)+",udp,FGtoPX4", "--generic=socket,in,100,,"+str(15300+px4id)+",udp,PX4toFG",
Then I think that following set is usefull: "--enable-terrasync", "--timeofday=noon", "--disable-sound", "--telnet="+str(15400+px4id),
You can try tune graphic quality parameters. Let us know If you success. (Last but not least - if you starting FG separatly, you can either start it from comand line or from FGLauncher. You can try to find out somehow, what parameters FGLouncher use)
On Ubuntu 18.04, on a fresh system on virtual machine, flight gear SITL fails with the following error: When running, a black screen turns on and off, but running fgfs separately runs fine
