@romain-chiap I rebased #11400, so we can bring it in.

Awesome, thanks a lot. Are we still interested in an integration test? (i.e. a simulated mission that ensures that the sih is functional).

Yes, would be cool. But I'm fine with merging this already.

Ok. I'm fine with it too.

For the visualization, I developed a MAVLink to UDP bridge to be used with FlightGear. @hamishwillee shall I add that to the documentation?

I'm also working on jMAVsim, so far the connection is established but the display is laggy.

@romain-chiap Sorry for the delay, I've been on holiday and now working through emails !
I have merged the docs you worked on now, so you can iterate as needed.

Could you instead use https://github.com/intel/mavlink-router ? As that is the more generally recommended MAVLink routing software?

If so, then I'd certainly outline this as an option and link to the relevant docs on how to setup.

yes, that will be even better if you can get it working.

This is now working properly! I created a pull request on jMAVSim

@romain-chiap Very cool. Hope that goes in. At that point, adding docs on how to use the update makes a lot of sense.
