Description
Hey ! I want to use the "follow the leader" module of Mission Planner. The location of both vehicles stays at 0 and nothing happens when we press start. Looks like buttons have been copied from the swarm module that works great but not in follow the leader.
My MP version is 1.3.8 build 1.3.8479.20539.
I tried to make a copter following a rover in sitl. Works in swarm but not in follow leader so I think it is a problem with MP and not with the vehicles firmware.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Mission Planner 1.3.8 build 1.3.8479.20539 using a copter following a rover in SITL. Compare the follow-the-leader module with the working swarm module, then verify that both vehicle locations update and pressing Start begins following.
