Martin Poller replied to chris mdn's discussion SITL and X-plane 10
"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.
The code has overtaken the instructions in the wiki I think. "

Martin Poller replied to Pete Gibbons's discussion Auto Mission Very Sloppy
"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…"

Martin Poller replied to Charl Mc Gregor's discussion AdruPlane 3.4 crash in manual mode
"Yes in manual mode moving the stick right is high value, the right aileron will move up, this will drop the right wing and the plane will roll to the right, similarly left stick moves left aileron up.
Be sure to check using FBWA mode that the…"

Martin Poller replied to Airflix Drone Solutions's discussion No bars in initial setup of Radio Calibration
"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…"

Martin Poller replied to Airflix Drone Solutions's discussion No bars in initial setup of Radio Calibration
"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. 
Also you should connect all three wires of your wing servos to Main out 1 and 2, not…"

Martin Poller replied to Jacques Eloff's discussion Can't get RCn_FUNCTION to work on Aux5 and Aux6 (RC13 and RC14) in ArduPlane User Group
"Hi jacques, did you set the parameter BRD_PWM_CNT=6 to enable the six aux outputs to RC9 to RC14. It's set to 4 by default so Aux5 and 6 would still be digital."

"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…"
