If you want to test out a simulation for mission planning or other ground station features, you would need to use the auto flight mode. In order to make this work without a gamepad, change the auto mode options as shown below.

This setup allows the simulated drone to arm and take off autonomously, making it easier to test mission workflows without physical controller input.
