Commanding the plane from the ground station › Command through the line passed

As a pilot with a TX15, I want the ground station to command the plane through the TX15, so that it needs no radio of its own.

The test behind the tutorial Command through the line: every step it takes, what it checks and what it saw.

Start

From the setup of The flight computer, and:

Given the ground station telemetry is flowing
  And the TX15 screen mode is RTL
Everything it starts with
Given the TX15 is connected
  And the TX15 roll stick is 0 %
  And the TX15 pitch stick is 0 %
  And the TX15 throttle stick is 0 %
  And the TX15 arm switch is off
  And the corrupted frames are 0 %
  And the TX15 screen battery is 12 V
  And the TX15 screen bank is 0 degrees
  And the TX15 screen airspeed is 0 m/s
  And the TX15 screen climb is 0 m/s
  And the TX15 screen satellites is 12
  And the TX15 screen message is none
  And the ground station telemetry is flowing
  And the ground station map distance is 0 m
  And the TX15 screen mode is RTL
  And the TX15 screen arming is disarmed

1 When the ground station command is sent and 5 seconds pass

When the ground station command is sent
  And 5 seconds pass
Then the autopilot command is received
  And the TX15 screen mode is RTL

Expected behaviour: A centred stick is 1500 us, The TX15 shows the flight mode, The ground station hears the plane through the TX15, Commands of the ground station reach ArduPilot.
