[QUOTE="H3Alpha, post: 96236, member: 12955"] Thanks for the reply. The gradual altitude change (ramp) is only available on the paid version. For the free, it is stepped only. But since stepped altitude change occurs BEFORE the AC heads for the waypoint, the altitude setting of waypoint #1 almost seems to be irrelevant. For example; say I set up a mission with WP1-altitude 100, WP2-altitude 50' WP3-altiutude 200' When I run the mission, the AC starts at WP1-100', but then drops to 50' BEFORE it heads to WP2. Once it gets to WP2, it ascends to 200', THEN heads for WP3. It's not a problem, now that I know that's how it acts; it just seemed odd. It seems like it should start at 100', fly to WP2 and THEN drop to 50', fly to WP3 and THEN ascend to 200'. My bigger concern is that my flight was 30-35' south of what I had programmed on the map even though the entire flight only covered an area about 150' x 200' (perhaps that is as close as I can expect even though I had good satellite numbers?), and the fact that the programmed altitude of 25' resulted in the AC flying only 6-8' off the ground. I'll be playing with this a few more times, but likely will step up to the paid version. [/QUOTE]
