[Paparazzi-devel] questions on flight plan

[Steve Ross]

Most of the flight plans can be used in any places by using the
relative coordinates of the waypoints to the HOME location, one thing I
don't understand is how people aligned the fields in the flight plans
to the new flying fields. Suppose I have the "versatile.html" as my
flight plan in mind and arrive at a new field and choose one location
as my HOME waypoint and find a runway to take off. Do I have to bring a
compass to know the orientation of the field in the flight plan
to the current field I arrive at? Otherwise, it's likely that my field
will be a rotation of the field in the flight plan around the
waypoint HOME. I may think that the other waypoints in the flight plan
are located within the actual field but in actuality some of the
waypoints are out of the boundary of the actual field due to the wrong
assumption of the rotation on the field in the flight plan. If
I discover that my assumption is wrong after I arrive at that field, is
there any quick and easy way to rotate and create a new flight plan at
the field? (One command that rotate all of the waypoints in the flight
plan to allign with actual field around the HOME?).

   Thanks a lot.
