# Scripted Aerobatics Schedules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains full aerobatic schedules for the ArduPilot
|
||
|
|
fixed wing scripted aerobatics system. If you develop your own
|
||
|
|
schedules please contribute to the project by submitting them for
|
||
|
|
inclusion in this directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use one of these schedules in SITL copy it (or use a symbolic link)
|
||
|
|
to a file called trickNN.txt in your scripts/ directory (the same
|
||
|
|
directory that plane_aerobatics.lua goes in). The NN is the trick
|
||
|
|
number used in the AUTO mission or with tricks on a switch in the
|
||
|
|
TRIKn_ID parameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if you wanted to fly the NewZealand Clubman schedule you
|
||
|
|
could copy NZClubMan.txt to trick94.txt in your scripts
|
||
|
|
directory. Then you could set TRIK3_ID to 94 to make this schedule be
|
||
|
|
trick 3. Or you could put 94 in the NAV_SCRIPT_TIME auto-mission
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Scaling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of these schedules are quite large and you may need to shrink
|
||
|
|
them for your model or flying field. You can use the AEROM_PATH_SCALE
|
||
|
|
parameter to adjust the size. For example, setting AEROM_PATH_SCALE to
|
||
|
|
0.5 will halve the size of the schedule. This impacts all tricks and
|
||
|
|
schedules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also mirror the schedule by setting AEROM_PATH_SCALE to a
|
||
|
|
negative value. This is good if the schedule is designed to be flown
|
||
|
|
right-to-left and you want to fly it left-to-right due to the wind
|
||
|
|
direction. If you set AEROM_PATH_SCALE to -0.5 then it would do a
|
||
|
|
half-scale mirrored schedule.
