Bug report

Launching a simulation in Mission Planner, using the "Latest (Dev)" option and "Copter Swarm - Single Link" button does not work.

Issue details

MP brings you back to the Data screen, saying that it could not connect to the SITL instance.
Stable 4.6 works.

The "Copter Swarm - Multilink" option doesn't error out, but doesn't show telemetry either. However, I might be using it wrong.

@rmackay9 you might want to consider this for fixing before 4.7 releases.

Hi @Georacer,

Txs for the report, I've added this to the 4.7 issues list

I've reproduced this issue as well. The change is likely in the ardupilot firmware because selecting "Stable" or "Beta" from the AP version does work. So it's only "Latest (Dev)" that doesn't work.

This is what I see in the MP console

@Georacer this should now be fixed by ArduPilot/MissionPlanner#3697 but we will need a new MP beta release to be sure
