Description

I'm attempting to run a SITL simulation using MAVproxy on Cygwin64 for a copter. Every time I set up the SITL with the "$ sim_vehicle.py -L KHSV --console --map --aircraft test" command, the following error occurs:

RiTW: Window access not found, logging to /tmp/ArduCopter.log
/home/DobbsEM/ardupilot/Tools/autotest/run_in_terminal_window.sh: line 55: 6552 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$cmd" $* &> "$filename" < /dev/null

I tried looking up a solution to this problem and only found one, and it did not work for me (and it was from a 2016 post). Is there any updated fixes for this issue? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Research direction

Reproduce the command `sim_vehicle.py -L KHSV --console --map --aircraft test` under Cygwin64, then inspect `Tools/autotest/run_in_terminal_window.sh` around line 55 and the SITL launch path. Done means identifying and resolving the cause of the segmentation fault so the copter simulation starts with the console and map.
