I need to test Aux Global Position (AGP) in sim.

Solution

Implement SensorAgpSim to publish AGP based on groundtruth data.

This adds new parameters SIM_AGP_FAIL and SENS_EN_AGPSIM and

So I see AGP = Aux Global Position - so this provides you with a second source of global position so you can test estimators work OK?

Does this need further docs - say as a sub heading of https://docs.px4.io/main/en/simulation/#sitl-simulation-environment ?

I'd say if you want anyone else other than you to use this then probably a mention. But if it is very much internal, then maybe not.
