Hello!
I’m working on Setting up SITL on Linux.When I started SITL simulator:

sim_vehicle.py -w

Things went wrong:

On ArduPilot top level directory do git submodule update --init modules/waf and then try again running sim_vehicle.

Hello @leesf1996,

Did you try to run it as a super user? (sudo?)

Let me know, if this helps.
