msgpackrpc.error.RPCError: rpclib: function 'enableApiControl' (called with 2 arg(s)) threw an exception. The exception contained this information: Vehicle API for 'drone0' is not available. This could either because this is simulation-only API or this vehicle does not exist.

I'm getting this error when trying airsim1.2.4 and 1.2.8.

Traceback (most recent call last):

And my setting.json in ~\Documents\Airsim is looked like this:

            {

                "FOV_Degrees": 80
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hoping someone can help me out with this. Thank you so much.

hi, i encountered the same problem. Have you solved this in the end?

[BrenoPimentel]

Hello everyone Did you guys solve it?

[levicorpus0407]

Hello everyone Did you guys solve it? It’s because the path of my config file contains non-English symbols… I created a new account of my pc and solved the problem. But I’m not sure if you have the same problem.
