You can use mavros and px4 with Gazebo as is given here : https://github.com/nkhedekar/offb_py

or you can simply publish the waypoints by using rostopic pub after spawning a multirotor available in RotorS.

This can be done by- $ roslaunch rotors_gazebo mav_hovering_example.launch and then $ rostopic pub /firefly/command/pose geometry_msgs/PoseStamped "pose: position: x: 3.0 y: 4.0 z: 5.0 orientation: x: 0.0 y: 0.0 z: 0.0 w: 0.0"

*The values of the variables being the point you want the multirotor to move to

If this solves your problem, please close the issue
