Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Improving Auto2 flying.

[Helge Walle]

Hi again,

I just entered the option in control_panel.xml:

    <program name="GCS" command="sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs -no_google_http">
      <arg flag="-b" variable="ivy_bus"/>
    </program>

and it works just fine!

Thanks again,
Helge.

Hi Helge,

Yeah, thank Serge... I just commited it :-)
If you save the session all the comand line options of the tools you
started will be saved as well. They are save in conf/control_panel.xml
If you also want this to be the default option when starting the GCS
directly from the tools menu you could probably add that option to the
gcs program in control_panel.xml

Cheers, Felix
