I have the normal "Blue Plane" Ardupilot mega firmware loaded and it flies perfectly fine on the X Plane simulator.

Why does the normal Arduplane firmware work on the simulator as well yet the APM manual states to clearly use the HIL firmware for simulation only??

One of my motivations starts with the fact that I have flown an FPV Telemaster with an Ardupilot quite succesfully but use it primarily as a failsafe. I did, however, test the waypoint system to… Continue
