Not working command line control in tum_simulator

Hi, I'm new to ROS and I'm trying to simulate the an AR Parrot drone inside gazebo through tumsimulator. I have ROS indigo, ardroneautonomy and tumsimulator installed. The problem is that when I create the ardrone test world it is correctly visualized in gazebo but than I can't control the motion of the drone by the command line. For instance, when I type `rostopic pub -1 /ardrone/takeoff stdmsgs/Empty`, the drone doesn't move. Only sensor monitoring commands are working. The list of my active topics is the following:

The topic /ardrone/takeoff is not active in that moment but it's existing. Is there anyone who had the same problem? Thank you!

I see the same issue, no listed topics for /ardrone/takeoff. I'm using Kinetic with ardrone_autonomy and tum_simulator for Indigo
