Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Improving Auto2 flying.

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Gautier,

I tried the option -no_google_http several times. It didn't work so I
keep setting it manually. The other options according to the wiki page
"GCS Configuration" work fine. Does someone have the option
-no_google_http working?

Cheers, Reto
