Problem with location in SITL

Hey, I just got SITL with arducopter set up but I am having a problem. I am unable to load a location with FlightGear or with the “–map” option for MavProxy. The map for MavProxy loads but is unable to get images of the location and FlightGear just sits at “Loading scenery” and prints out this code:

Error in ground network. Failed to find first waypoint: 0 at YSCB
Error in ground network. Failed to find first waypoint: 0 at YSSY
Error in ground network. Failed to find first waypoint: 0 at YSSY
Error in ground network. Failed to find first waypoint: 0 at YSCB
Error in ground network. Failed to find first waypoint: 0 at YSSY

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks!

For me, I need to start FlightGear with:

cd ardupilot/Tools/autotest [enter] ./fg_quad_view [enter]
and let it start up completely before starting SITL.

I also had to edit out "–disable-intro-music " and "–disable-skyblend " from fg_quad_view

The first load of MavProxy maps takes around a minute for me.
Subsequent starts at the same location are faster.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but maps require an internet connection.

I have been doing what you have suggested so far. Also I have tried changing the service the imagery comes from and that does not work either. The interesting thing is that I run exactly the same setup on my personal computer with the same OS(Xubuntu 14.04) on the same network and everything works and runs great.
