    I am using v1.11.3-0.2.3 modalai voxl build of PX4 and a modalai flight core using a holybro m8 gps
    I have done all calibration multiple times and it flies great in sabilized mode

    however when I try to fly in position mode or use Takeoff flight mode, it throws the error Failsafe enabled no local position.

    Conditions for recreation
    It usually happens right after arming around 5 seconds. but sometimes mid flight
    After reflashing firmware issue doesn't show up until around 5 minutes of the drone being on. But after first occurance happens after every arm
    Tested with two different holybro m8 gps and two different gps cables
    voxl-vision-px4 has vio turned off.

    here is what i see on qgroundcontrol
    1c03d688-f7ef-473f-9f99-ca8defc77e43-image.png

    here is the corrosponding error message i get on my logs
    WARN [gps] Tracking satellite has disappeared from horizon for unknown reason–please check location! 194 66

    Here is the link to my log
