OK a few further points on zig zag pattern
for the moment im going to take down the
one I put up already.
I am going to build a longer one for application
and take the time to test it thoroughly.
although I havent run through the first one
yet it is apparent I didnt make waypoints
on shallow enough angles and Im betting
that the first report on it will be of a uboat
hooking endlessly around the second or
third waypoint unable to get back around
so Im going to take a day to do it
right.
however for the filming app
Rob im not certain whether or not
you might want to consider a custom
maneuver pattern for filming
that is to say a zig zagging circle is great in an air
attack but aggressive pursuing ships im not so
sure. they do well against a straight circling ship
but not so well against a zig zagging straight
course ship. so i am assuming a zig zagging
circular course would both keep you safe
while filming keep your boat in dramatic
motion and also keep you in the area
of the attack rather than evading it
which for purposes of filming I would
assume to be beneficial.
let me know
MM
[edit] the new straightline zigzag should be available
this evening after testing.
I will make the film makers circular one also
and will just pm a copy to you rob.
although It may make a minorly useful
release as there are other video makers
that may find it useful
