RE: [Paparazzi-devel] Glide

Uttam,
Glide is actually short for glide slope.  If you have 2 WPs with different altitudes, Glide will draw a line between the altitudes and try to fly the line, verses the normal mode where it just tries to get on the altitude.

Hi guys,

What does vmode="glide" do? Can I, for example, have 2 wp's, at different altitudes, and glide with throttle at 0 between the 2 wp's? Not all planes are capable of extended glides, so I know it's not possible with the smaller ones :) We have a plane that glides great, in order to conserve battery, we were looking at the possibility of gliding at times. I can understand this being complicated, because you run the risk of a stall, so what would be nice is not throttle fixed to 0, but something like min cruise="0"?


-Thanks,
Uttam

Sorry, with a fresh cvs extration, with the following configuration
(conf.xml written by the Paparazzi Center)

  <aircraft
  name="SC1"
  ac_id="1"
  airframe="airframes/slicer1.xml"
  radio="radios/cockpitSX.xml"
  telemetry="telemetry/default.xml"
  flight_plan="flight_plans/basic.xml"
  settings="settings/basic.xml settings/cam.xml"
  gui_color="blue"
  />

the simulation compiles and runs correctly.

I would like to help ...
