/ardrone/takeoff topic is missing

edit

Hi, I'm new to ROS and I'm trying to simulate the an AR Parrot drone inside gazebo through tum_simulator. I have ROS kinetic, ardrone_autonomy and tum_simulator installed. The problem is that when I create the ardrone test world it is correctly visualized in gazebo but than I can't control the motion of the drone by the command line. For instance, when I type rostopic pub -1 /ardrone/takeoff std_msgs/Empty, the drone doesn't move. Only sensor monitoring commands are working. The list of my active topics is the following:

/ardrone/bottom/camera_info

/ardrone/bottom/image_raw/compressed/parameter_descriptions

The topic /ardrone/takeoff is not active in that moment but it's existing. Is there anyone who had the same problem?
