Keeping magnetometer heading without GPS in 4.3.7?

ArduPlane Plane 4.3
1

Hey all,
Curious if there’s any way to tell a plane to keep a specific magnetometer heading when loss of GPS occurs. I’m flying a mission on a long, straight road that is surrounded by mountains, and I occasionally lose GPS and the plane climbs out and loiters until it re-gains satellites… Is there any way to tell the cube to just ignore the loss of GPS and continue on its straight path?

Thanks!

Thanks, I’m familiar with the AFS, I’m just wondering if there’s a system or param that will tell the cube to follow a specific magnetometer heading despite losing all GPS. It would be great if the plane could follow that heading until a specific time elapses but that’s not a huge deal… I just don’t want it to go into a loiter or take any actions upon GPS loss other than “follow this heading until I say so”.
