[Paparazzi-devel] Re: GCS crashing (buffer limit reached)

[Zouhair Mahboubi]

Yes, this is reproduced by replaying the logs (i.e. buffer limit reached 
and GCS crashing)

btw, I am using PPZtransport (not xbee). Is it worth switching to API 
mode or is transparent mode 'ok' with only two UAVs? What advantages 
would we get by switching to API?

Thanks,
Zouhair
