/cmd_VEL topic is missing
hi ,
i have installed (again) Indigo with its default Gazebo as well as Hector_quadrotor link text. I cant find the topic /cmd_vel in order to send a flying command. also , i did install ardrone_autonomy plus tum_simulator and the same situation . here is a list of the topics when launching
roslaunch cvg_sim_gazebo ardrone_testworld.launch
according to iolyp/tum-simulator-indigo:

had anyone seen such a thing before ? ps: i think in both cases i saw the same topics (hector and ardrone).
thanks in advance
Update
I am facing the same situation with Kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04 and gazebo 7 , there is no /cmd_vel
topic
Can you confirm that you tried calling the service
rosservice call /enable_motors "enable: true"
?yes i did and restarted the whole thing couple of times.
I had the same problem when I tried to simu multi-uav with hector. Some of the uavs' "cmd_vel" were missing while the others were well. But, I didn.t meet it when I tried one uav.
