About problems that arise when controlling multiple drones from one GCS

Good morning
This time, I tried to control several drones by connecting them to one GCS.

Contrary to the first time I thought it wasn’t particularly difficult, this presented a very big problem.

  1. Create a mission in GCS
  2. Upload to pixhawk
  3. Loiter arm in GCS
  4. Change the flight mode to Auto in GCS

This is the same process as usual.
I simply thought that the number of drones increased.

If you move one by one, this is fine.

However, the altitudes of several drones are all different.

Not all go to the specified waypoint.

In severe cases, the drone moves in a different direction altogether.

Some drones have crashed.

Here’s a log of a drone that crashed seriously.

What is the problem with this?

Does each drone have a different SYSID_THISMAV parameter?

SYSID_THISMAV I changed this parameter.

The parameter you mentioned is SYSID_MYGCS, right?

If there is 1 gcs, should all these parameters be set to different numbers for each drone?

|SYSID_MYGCS 255
255:Mission Planner and DroidPlanner 252: AP Planner 2|

|SYSID_THISMAV 15
|1 255|
