"@Michael Burmeister: it's only 300$ so maybe just replace with a new one.Though I admit gimbal is kind of weird, if you open source it earlier it will be much easier to find replacement."

"Hi Anjum,

I've seen this before: When you command 2 drones of the same MAVLink SID to fly to different directions the GCS cannot distinguish their packets, so they are mixed and perceived as a single drone, of which flight path looks like sawtooth.…"

"Yeah, by default qGCS listen to udp:localhost:14550. You have 2 options:
1. add a vehicle to tcp5760
2. use MAVProxy to direct tcp5760 to udp14550, setting master=tcp... outs=udp...
the above applies to APMSITL, jmavsim should be something similar"
