"If you are still using the original Tx module and receiver and a PPM encoder then you may well be having problems.
I still use my faithfull T9C and T9C super but have fitted a FRSky 2.4 Tx module and a D4R-II receiver using ppsum, and these work…"

"Just click on the plane icon bottom left and the sitl code will load automatically for you, make sure your virus ware doesn't block it.

"Hi Pete,
You need to autotune first, if you've not done this then your plane won't navigate accurately.
Once aututuned then proceed to navigation tuning here
Once you've been through this or if you've read it already then I think you should set up a…"

"Did you hold down the red flashing arming button to arm the servos?
It's normal convention to have your elevons on channels 1 & 2 and the throttle on channel 3, not just from the servo main outs but also on the transmitter, I don't have a taranis…"

"I don't think that you are powering the receiver.
You need to power up the servo rail, connect your esc to main out 3, this will power the rail and the receiver.

"Okay, I'll bite,
If it's sitting on a table inside your house why would you expect it to have a good GPS lock.
It needs to be outside with a good clear view of the sky with no obstacles within 100m or so around it, i.e. trees or high buildings, for…"
