Get PX4 not to flag GPS error when none is connected/using VIO

[hmlow]

Hi devs

If there an updated ModalAI version of PX4 in the works, do consider getting PX4 not to flag GPS error when none is connected and the system is using VIO for position estimates.

I believe PX4 currently flags GPS error as long as a GPS is not connected.

Because of this:
https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/pull/9393

QGC is displays a "No GPS Lock For Vehicle" overlaid on the video and obstructs what the Operator can see.

For your consideration pls.

Thanks

Hi @hmlow ,

Thanks for the feedback, which version of PX4 are you running? Trying to track this down.

Thanks!

Hi

Im using ModalAI 1.11.3-0.2.3.

As a workaround i disabled the overlaid message in QGC by rebuilding a custom version of QGC.
