GPS alt sensor #4169

Open Wolepo opened 2 weeks ago

Wolepo commented 2 weeks ago

Hello Bertrand. I have found a way to display the flight track in Google Earth. To do this, I load the log into an Excel file, merge the two entries latitude and longitude into "GPS" and remove the comma between the two coordinates. However, the GPS Alt sensor is set to 0m by default, i.e. to altitude above ground, e.g. 532 → 0m. However, this means that the flight track is drawn below the surface and is therefore not visible. If you delete this sensor and use a DIY sensor instead, the value is created above NN (normal zero) and everything is fine. Now my request: is it possible to configure GPS Alt so that it normally outputs the value above NN, but when it is reset, it outputs the value above ground. So you have the choice between both sensors. Unfortunately, creating both values at the same time does not work. Thank you very much for your interest Wolfgang

1.5.10 logfiles will have only one column for GPS. They can be imported in Google Maps directly

What happens with GAlt? This must output the GPS altitude above sea level so that the flight track does not remain underground.

I wrote a simple php script to take the csv from the radio and create the kml file for google earth. If you want it in 3D and see the elevation, you must include ALT.

There is an even better software (payware) called tacview that can import a csv with more parameters such as roll / pitch angles and display your flight path + graphs.
