Hi Bhaskara, yes, now I can see it. It really looks unsuitable for out of simulator. My reason was that I need to do some tests of odometry, so I wanted to bypass the localization and for reasons I still don't understand static tf publisher didn't do the job. Will keep trying :) Thanks for response.
