DJI Mavic Pro 2 Drone in Webots Nosedives at High Speeds

Hello,

I am using the webotsros2mavic package found here to simulate a drone in Webots. The drone is controlled by publishing a simple Twist message with linear and angular velocity components.

I noticed that when sending commands that are high speeds (such as a value of 5 or greater) to the linear velocity component of the Twist message, the drone tilts forwards when flying. As a result it starts descending/nosediving as it is also flying forwards. I understand that this also happens in real life with real drones.

Is there a way to eliminate this effect in given the code in this package? There is a file called mavic_driver.py in this package which implements a PID controller for the drone's movement. But I am not sure what (if anything at all) needs to be changed to achieve this effect.

Ubuntu 22.04, ROS2 Humble, Webots 2023a

Thanks!
