Gazebo 11.15 cannot successfully load the model when simulating with PX4.

[MilkyWay2001]

Environment

• OS Version:
  ubuntu 20.04
  ros-neotic
  gazebo 11.15
  px4 15.3

Description

When I run the PX4 provided script as usual, the Gazebo window opens but shows an error saying it cannot load the model. However, it works fine in Gazebo 11.14 version.

Steps to reproduce

1. roslaunch px4 posix_sitl.launch

Output

Can you provide more details on this? As you may imagine we may not know what you "usual script" is.

Okay, I'll paste them below, thank you.
