Plane: Loiter radius not shown in planner #1293

Open Fossdal opened 8 years ago

Fossdal commented 8 years ago

Loiter radius is not shown i planner only wp radius

meee1 commented 8 years ago

this is by design. please use one of the other screens to set loiter radius.

meee1 commented 8 years ago

just to clarify. plane shows loiter radius. copter does not.

Fossdal commented 8 years ago

Just to clarify. i am using Plane In "Flight Plan" if i change loiter radius nothing changes on the map, if i change the wp radius. the grafical circle is changed on the map both for loiter waypoints and normal waypoints

meee1 commented 8 years ago

the map is not meant to change if you change loiter radius. do you have loiter commands in your mission?

magicrub commented 8 years ago

just to clarify, WP_RADIUS has nothing to do with this. http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#wp-radius-waypoint-radius

WP_RADIUS is poorly named and really needs a rework. See https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/3483

Contray to popular belief, setting WP_RADIUS to 200 does not mean you "reached" the way point at that point, it means the aircraft is allowed to decide when it reached it and will allow it to do a smooth controlled turn somewhere within that radius.

I think the logic and viewing of waypoint radius and lotier radius are adequately displayed currently. Even the exit tangent displays correctly. Please close.

magicrub commented 5 years ago

Hold on a second, I think this is still useful. @DavidIngraham got any ideas about this one?

Naterater commented 5 years ago

The Loiter radius is definitely different than the WP radius. Exit tangents are also good. image

Close?
