I won’t integrate the models into ardupilot_gazebo, as that is mainly for the plugins, with some simple models to help people get up and running. I could make the ship model available in SITL_Models so that the only dependency external to ArduPilot is the wave sim.
Wow, thank you so much that you are willing to do this ! This helps other developers trying to replicat and extend usage of ardupilot on the open sea a lot.
