About

Docs-only update to docs/px4_sitl.md: the SITL walkthrough still gave git checkout v1.11.3 as the worked example. AirSim vehicle configuration in the PX4 tree tracks roughly ≥ v1.12, so v1.11.x often fails to connect.

  • Example pin → v1.12.3
  • One-sentence guidance to prefer ≥ v1.12 / check latest stable on PX4 releases

Does not rework PX4 doc host URLs (see open #9774).

Credit / prior art

Intent supersedes the long-stale one-line fix in #4695 by jhchance (v1.11.3 → v1.12.3). Prefer this self-contained docs note over a separate salvage PR on the same file while #9774 is also open (path-overlap hygiene).

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Diff review of docs/px4_sitl.md
  • No sim/binaries run in this micro

Notes

Aerial nightly tier-4; specs under specs/airsim/2026-07-14-2.md.

Update the example checkout from v1.11.3 to v1.12.3 and explain that
AirSim vehicle config in PX4 tracks roughly ≥ v1.12 (see also prior
community PR intent from jhchance#4695).
