SHamers is correct about the altitude, but I want to make sure of what you are asking.
When you create the waypoint mission, you fly to each waypoint and set them. Each point records the position of the P3, including altitude. Waypoint 1 could be 20m, waypoint 2 at 40m, waypoint 3 at 30m, etc. I actaully have one mission where one waypoint is lower to the ground and the next waypoint only moves vertically - higher up over the same spot. Note that there is a minimum distance between waypoint - GO will not let you set them too close together.
When flying the mission, the P3 will fly to the position and altitude originally set for each waypoint. It flies in basically a straight line between points. In the above example, it would have an altitude of 30m halfway between point 1 and point 2. When setting up your mission you need to account for that.
Once the mission is set, you cannot change altitude or position. The waypoints are set and cannot be edited. Techinically speaking you cannot "change" altitide once the mission is created, but you can "set" altitude when creating the mission.
Also stored with waypoints is the orientation (Yaw) of the P3. This, however, CAN be changed while flying the mission.
When you run the mission you are given a choice for camera direction. One choice has the camera follow the flight path. Another choice has the camera point where it was when the waypoint was recorded.
The final option - FREE - gives you control over yaw when flying the mission. I am 99% sure you cannot change the choice one the mission is started. Of course, you can re-fly the mission with a different choice.
Speed is also a variable. You pick speed of the P3 at the start of the mission via a slider. You can change speed with the slider while the mission is running. |
