Watching a flight from the pilot box

Start the view before the plane is on. The view stays empty until the telemetry starts. After that, the plane appears where it is, and it moves and banks with the real plane. The link drops for a while, and the plane stays where it was last heard.

1. Wait 1 second.

   The view shows the scenery and no plane.

   

2. Let the telemetry of the plane be flowing. Then fly the plane at 40 m above home. Then fly the plane 120 m north of home. Then wait 1 second.

   The view shows the plane. The plane in the view is 40 above the ground at the pilot box. The plane in the view is 120 north of the pilot box.

   

3. Bank the plane 30 degrees to the right. Then turn the plane to fly east. Then wait 1 second.

   The plane in the view banks to the right. The nose of the plane in the view points east.

   

4. Let the telemetry of the plane be silent. Then wait 10 seconds.
