split flights when pilot teleported #8

Open dneuge opened 4 years ago

dneuge commented 4 years ago

Pilots sometimes teleport to another far away position (such as jumping from Italy to the Netherlands) while staying connected to the network. Flights are currently kept connected until a new flight plan is issued (which might not happen at all when uncontrolled or VFR). It would be nice if we could detect unreasonably large changes between trackpoints and split the flight in that case.

Also see #1 which discussed a range-based plausibility check to avoid splitting flights due to flight plan revision resets.
