Narrow bounds would be one thing! The issue with this point is that you may unable to purchase a house _without_ an HOA:

So it's not really about having a choice, it's about lack of one.

This is relative. You might not think native flowers and plants are stunning, and that a manicured lawn is, but I do! And lawn rules might prevent me from obtaining my version of “stunning”. This is something…you want to defend? A lack of freedom to do what one wants with something they own?

droneserver was indeed the abstraction mentioned in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15486 .

The video/image perception is why I started looking into this domain in the first place, but I haven't gotten there yet. I hadn't seen Cosys-Airsim! I bet it could work in tandem w/ QGroundControl just like Gazebo does. Might be looking into that :)

I was looking into the MCP route too, and found some libraries abstracting mavlink for this use case (there’s at least one white paper documenting failure modes of LLMs trying to issue mavlink commands without an abstraction), but realized that autopilot like PX4 exists. My use case was more about autonomous flight, and it seemed better to just set waypoints and put some guards on other inputs. When paired with QGroundControl plans, all I needed to do for most flight paths was generate or update a .plan file using an LLM and other methodologies. I wasn’t super happy with the QGroundControl -> Gazebo rendering (no tie into real world terrain out of the box), but it did sort of work out of the box without too much effort!
