Sounds easy ... at least that's what i thought.
After reading the wiki and carefully calculated the waypoints, my flightplan begins as:
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Touch and Go on SUAA, Rwy 19 -->
<PropertyList>
<flightplan>
<wpt>
<name>final</name>
<lat>-34.700335</lat>
<lon>-56.271181</lon>
<alt>500.0</alt>
<ktas>80</ktas>
<flaps-down>0.3333</flaps-down>
</wpt>
<wpt>
<name>flare</name>
<lat>-34.782931</lat>
<lon>-56.265361</lon>
<alt>160.0</alt>
<ktas>75</ktas>
<flaps-down>0.6666</flaps-down>
</wpt>
<wpt>
<name>touch</name>
<lat>-34.78338</lat>
<lon>-56.26533</lon>
<alt>148.0</alt>
<ktas>75</ktas>
<flaps-down>0.0</flaps-down>
</wpt>
...
and a short my_demo.xml pointing to it.
Well, ... it doesn't work.
The plane approaches nicely along the final leg, but almost arriving the "flare" waypoint she suddenly turns and escapes climbing in a perpendicular heading !!!
