In this video we take a look at how to set up the HITL integration for INAV 6, using X-Plane. This is a great tool for testing things out. For example a new waypoint mission or some logic conditions. This will work with any flight controller installed with INAV 6.0 or above.
One thing worth noting. If you are setting up a spare flight controller just to use with HITL. The PIDs for the VR Wing Noob can be found in the discussion on Roman's GitHub repository (linked below). It is well worth pasting that in to the CLI to get the best performance out of that model. However, if you are using a flight controller installed in a plane. Don't add that CLI. It would mess up the tune you already have for that plane.
