[QUOTE="pacman_Spark, post: 53485, member: 322"] [USER=10041]@Red Waypoint[/USER] Hi David, I'm sure you have a lot of work to do, but I have a couple of suggestions regarding POI waypoints: 1. 'Auto' Gimbal... At the moment, it is possible to add a POI waypoint and you can specify the Altitude of the POI. In each normal waypoint setting it is also possible to set the Altitude and also the pitch of the gimbal. Would it be possible to add an 'Auto Gimbal' checkbox to override the gimbal degree setting, so that the gimbal automatically calculates the best angle to point at the POI? This angle should be easy to calculate by using basic trigonometry: All you need to know is the relative altitude of the aircraft above the POI (by deducting the altitude of the POI from the altitude of the aircraft), and the distance between the GPS point of the waypoint and the GPS point of the POI (there is a formula for this available), and from this you can calculate the gimbal angle to point to the top of the POI. 2. Multiple Waypoints... Have the ability to add, maybe, up to 5 POI waypoints. Automatically number them 1 to 5 as you add them, in the same way you number the waypoints: POI1, POI2, etc. Then in the waypoint settings, add a POI dropdown control showing 'POI1' to 'POIx'. (Where x is the number of POIs you have added). This will allow you to potentially link each waypoint to a different POI. Obviously, if there is only one POI this waypoint setting will be set to POI1 automatically. This will have the effect of allowing your mission to re-point to a different POI as the aircraft reaches each waypoint. Apologies if you have already though of any of this and already have them on your future development list! [/QUOTE]
