From a few months ago (pre-pandemic times, if anyone can recall what that was like), I ported the `ardupilot_gazebo` plugin from Gazebo to Ignition and got it working with an Iris-style quadcopter:

- [fork of the plugin with basic instructions for trying it](https://github.com/gerkey/ardupilot_gazebo/tree/ignition#using-with-ignition)
