3D view, formation flights accuracy
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2022 7:20 pm
Hello,
I am Vyrtuoz the creator of Tacview, I am posting this bug report on behalf of Dimitris.
One of our users (Command+Tacview) has noticed a strange behavior of the formation flights displayed in the 3D view.
Some of the planes in groups are jittery compared to the others.
To reproduce the issue, load one of the attached scenarios files and display the 3D view.
After debugging, I have concluded that there is either missing data or inaccurate coordinates in the telemetry.
I wonder if that could be because of float32 inaccuracy in object coordinates or something similar (such as truncation of the coordinates. For reference, I strongly recommend to export objects latitude/longitude with 7 decimal places.
Could you investigate on your side and let me know what you think of it?
