A new debug mode called POS_EST was added because it was needed to make life easier while debugging the position estimation. This debug mode also gives the states of the estimations (EST_Z_VALID, EST_XY_VALID) and the sensors (EST_GPS_XY_VALID, EST_GPS_Z_VALID, EST_BARO_VALID, EST_SURFACE_VALID, EST_FLOW_VALID), all very useful for anything using the NAV flight modes (maybe it should even become a new MSP2_ESTIMATORS message...). Here is an example of how to read the debug mode using python.
