Simulation - "No Heartbeat Packets Received"

Hi All,

I'm using mission planner to connect to APM 1.4 through a FTDI cable[1]. When I do that, I can install the Quad HIL version. But when I tried to "Connect", I get the "No Heartbeat Packet Received". 

Once I use a normal USB cable through IMU to connect to the same APM 1.4, I can connect without an issue.

Would this be a result of a bad FTDI cable? What puzzles me is that installs the firmware without an issue..

Thanks,

Ruwan.

    I also tried checking/unchecking the reset apm on connect option with no success.
