Deploying parachute

Hello,

I`d like to ask how is it possible to test out the newly implemented parachute capability in 3.7.0 ?

What I`ve tried is testing how its suggested in the arducopter parachute tutorial http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parachute.html . But it does not respond to any tilting, only to manual switch position change from the transmitter. Also, there seems to not be any deploy delay, that is the props still spin as they used to though the GCS says the parachute is deployed. Any ideas?

P.S. I`ve also tried running a HIL simulation on plane 3.7.0 but I get “Waiting for hil_state_message” on the hub and thus i get no GPS. It all worked on older firmware though.

So, has anyone encounterd this problem?
