Sphinx 1.8 and Parrot Bebop 2 not supported anymore?

Hi,

I could use Parrot-Sphinx simulator version 1.8 and Parrot Bebop 2 firmware before. However, it seems that the model dataset and the firmware cannot be accessed anymore at http://plf.parrot.com/sphinx/external_models/database.config and http://plf.parrot.com/sphinx/firmwares/ardrone3/milos_pc/latest/images. I was wondering if Parrot Bebop 2 is not supported anymore or if there is a workaround for this issue.

Best,
Navid

Here you can find the error I got today:

Hi Navid,
I confirm that sphinx 1.8 and Bebop2 are not supported anymore.
I now need to move to the latest sphinx version along with more recent drone models.

That’s sad :frowning: Seems quite unexpected. Was there any announcement in advance by the developer team at Parrot? I didn’t know it was going to happen.

thanks my issue has been fixed.
