Subject: | [Paparazzi-devel] Software Wish List - Waypoints relative to previous waypoint, and rotated flight patterns |

Hi all,
It is close to X-mas, so maybe time for a few wishes for more possibilities with regard to flight plans; 1. The possibility to define waypoints relative to previous waypoints, e.g; - WP0: (start position) - WP1: go 100m east (from previous WP) - WP2: go 100m south (from previous WP) - WP3: go 100m west (from previous WP) - WP3: go 80m north (from previous WP) This possibility would make it easy to write custom repeatative flight-patterns (e.g. like survey-patterns), by looping over a set of relative waypoints, in many cases removing the need for writing C-procedures. 2. The possibility to rotate a flight-pattern (block) by giving a rotation angle. E.g. for surveying purposes, there is always the problem with rotating the flight-lines against the wind direction, usually very close to the last minute before flight. Cheers, Jorn |
