Include own JSBSim-Model in ardupilot

Hello. Our Team is trying to simulate a quadplane. We want to use most Systems which are in ArduPlane but with our own aerodynamic-model (JSBSim). Therefore we already build a model which works in FlightGear. Now we want to include the model in ardupilot. For that we copied the model into “ardupilot\Tools\autotest\aircraft”. ..
To start the simulation we first start FlightGear(3.4.0) with our model. Than we type in the Cygwin Terminal. “cd ~/ardupilot/ArduPlane” and “sim_vehicle.py -f jsbsim:MyModel”. Now the simulation starts as it should. But the problem is that after connecting to MissionPlanner(1.3.50.0), the vehicle can’t fly or even take-off. We have tried the same with “sim_vehicle.py -f jsbsim:Rascal” with the same problem.

When typing in “sim_vehicle.py -j4 -f quadplane -L KSFO” everything works.

Could you please help us to find out what we did wrong?

Thanks
