MavProxy SITL simulation help!

Hello! Being fairly new to ardupilot, I have started by writing y first custom flight mode. I would like to test this mode. I can successfully build the code using waf, but I can’t seem to find a simulator that will work. The simulator I would like to use is through MavProxy and SITL. However, when i enter the command “Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter --map --console”, the following shows up. A map does not open, and it seems to hang. I have done a lot of research and have no idea where to go from here. I am running Ubuntu and have ran git submodule --init --recursive successfully. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, did you try to add the ip address to bind a GCS station. Try to add --out 192.168.99.252:14550 (example )
Where the IP is the address of GCS station (udp mode)
For example i have a virtual machine with Ubuntu (SITL) and mission planner run on Host computer Win10. Anyway i don’t see Map show up but SITL work ok.
Try to remove map also

have you installed MavProxy? looks like SITL cant find it

This worked great! thank you so much for your help!
