Revision history [back]

What you observe is a issue due to your graphics card driver. libgazebo_ros_gpu_laser.so uses the graphics card for generating the simulated laser scan. The other plugin you now employ uses the physics engine (I believe ODE collision checking) for generating the laser scan and is thus unaffected by the GPU rendering issue.
