Better plane animation between update #329

Open Ysurac opened 7 years ago

Ysurac commented 7 years ago

Animation on 2D mode are not smooth. 2 choices:

Always use estimated position and not latest know position
Put a little delay, so it's only estimated position between each know position

Better estimation in commit 56e07e699b7067a516d6099ed3f2bb82575892f1 It will be difficult to do better if I keep realtime. But for estimation it's quite good.
