Is there a getting started guide for the Mission Planner? I don't have a hexcopter yet or a transmitter, but I did get my APM 2.0. Should I be able to hook this up to my computer (got that part working already), run mission planner, set a flight plan (ie. click some locations on the built in google earth), and see the simulation? The only other thing I need is "http://x-plane.com/", right?
Thank you,
Dave

I finally found it. There is a correction that should be made to it:
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Xplane
The $29 reference to Xplane is should read $79. I'm holding off on a transmitter until Futuba gets their act together and puts telemetry in a transmitter less than $3000. In the meantime, I was looking at buying RealFlight 6.0. Will that transmitter work for running simulations with Xplane and Missions Planner?
Thank you,
Dave
