I have gazebo simu run in a another host:192.168.10.11 by this scripts:
!/bin/bash px4_dir=$(pwd)
source $px4_dir/Tools/setup_gazebo.bash $px4_dir $px4_dir/build/posix_sitl_default
source devel/setup.bash export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:$px4_dir export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:$px4_dir/Tools/sitl_gazebo
roslaunch px4 posix_sitl.launch
and the console output like this:
GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH :/home/x-man/Firmware/build/posix_sitl_default/build_gazebo

In QGroundControl->settings->Comm Links,I have tried to create TCP links to this host(192.168.10.11) by different port:
43745 11311 4560
but all failed,so question is:
How to use gqcontrol to connect to gazebo simulation instance in another host in same LAN?
Solution is in pix discuss forum: http://discuss.px4.io/t/how-to-make-qgcontrol-connect-to-gazebo-simulation-instance-in-another-host-in-same-lan/9941
