- Format the SD card and run the example again.
- Use an alternate SD card in the given situation to confirm that the initial SD card was not defective.
Unable to start QGC mission flight mode with PX4 HITL simulation

I have the “PX4 Autopilot in HITL Simulation with UAV Dynamics in Simulink” (Method 1 Controller Deployed on Autopilot over Normal Mode, No Monitor & Tune) example mostly working, however when the simulation is running I cannot start the mission that I uploaded through QGroundControl. I get an error message in QGC that says “Unable to start mission: Vehicle not changing to Mission flight mode”.
How do I enable mission flight mode in the Simulink controller that I deploy to the hardware so I can fly the mission in QGC?
Follow on question: when I deploy the Simulink controller, which flight mode is it overriding in the PX4 stock firmware? Position flight mode? Stabilize flight mode? Altitude? All of them? Is it possible to design a flight controller so that when I switch into “Acro” mode for example, my custom controller is active, but if I want to have a failsafe I can switch back into the stock “position” flight mode?
Thank you for your help

I understand that you trying to use "Method -1" of "PX4 Autopilot in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) Simulation with UAV Dynamics in Simulink" example, but you are getting an error “Unable to start mission: Vehicle not changing to Mission flight mode” in “QGroundControl”.
The error seems to be an issue with the SD Card functionalities.
To troubleshoot the issue:
I hope this helps!

on https://nl.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/px4/ref/px4-stock-hitl-simulink-example.html you can go to Navigation block, and then Quadcopter Navigation Algorithm-> Guidance system. now you have 4 flight modes. you can add some others or just edit these blocks.
