Unexpected character encountered while parsing value.
Have
* reinstalled mission planner.
* Ran the same thing on a friend windows computer and it gave the same error.

It looks like there has been a change in the soft in the loop, where is parses some json and someone has changed the json to throw an error.

Research direction

Reproduce the simulation → Copter flow on Windows with Mission Planner 1.3.74 and inspect the reported JSON parsing error. Trace which simulation component emits or consumes the malformed value; done means the flow starts without this parsing error and the behavior is verified on Windows.
