Hi @iam-anshul,
Project AirSim differs from AirSim v1 in that it requires running a script to load the environment.
Also, please check out the latest release here: https://github.com/iamaisim/ProjectAirSim/releases/tag/v0.1.1

Thanks for replying @jonyMarino. Please let me know what script is required to load the environment and the correct procedure to run the sim. I tried looking full instruction link in release page but the link is broken.

@iam-anshul You can use anyone from the example_scripts folder.
This is the correct link: https://iamaisim.github.io/ProjectAirSim/development/use_prebuilt.html Thanks for letting us know about that.

Hi @jonyMarino I need your help again. So i am not seeing any camera feed on my custom script. I tried running hello_drone.py as well but there also I am not seeing any camera feed. I remember seeing 2 camera feeds when i ran hello_drone.py the first time but i am not seeing it anymore. I reset my local repository as well to make sure this is not because of some file i changed but after that also I got the same result. Can you please help me here.

@iam-anshul can you try reinstalling the python client?

@jonyMarino I think its because i am using azure instance ( Standard NV12ads A10 v5 ) and i put my problem statement in chatgpt and it said this-

"Even with GPU, RDP sometimes falls back to software rendering. In that case, OpenCV (cv2.imshow) creates a window but it never shows on your RDP desktop"

Here is the full chat link- https://chatgpt.com/share/68a73eea-e2bc-800c-8725-4bc66444a22c. Its a long chat though but in short it said the video feed is not being shown because its an azure instance and it has something to do with RDP port.

@jonyMarino so i ran it on a local machine and it it ran just fine, i was able to see camera feeds. So it was indeed happening because i was running it on a remote azure instance VM.
