My new mode not visible

I completed all the steps for adding a new mode as described in the link. I am working on Windows with WSL. After ensuring that I had followed all the steps correctly, I compiled the code. I encountered an access error. I was able to resolve the access error by adding the name of my new mode after friend class in the Copter.h file. This way, I managed to compile Copter successfully and load it onto the autopilot without any errors.

However, I cannot see the mode I added at all. Neither Mission Planner nor QGroundControl shows my mode.
I am using ArduCopter V4.5.3.
I even completed step 7, but I still did not get any results. Can you help me?

This worked, thank you, but isn’t there a way to make it permanent?

No other than having your changed applied to the mainline Ardupilot :person_shrugging:
