These two points are pointed in flight by the pilot along the slope and then the glider is able to flight itself as long as the dynamics upwards are still actives. The ThermoPilot has been tested in flight during the summer 2011 in French Alps.<br /> <br /> Here a video a the new firmware version (2012) which uses a new alogorith (MLA) tested in HIL mode on Xplane v9.70 during a full autonomous slope soaring flight in high mountains.<br /> <br /> More infos at:<br /> <a href="http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arduplane-v2-full-autonomous-flight-hil-simulation-of-a-nimbus-4m">http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arduplane-v2-full-autonomous-flight-hil-simulation-of-a-nimbus-4m</a> tag:diydrones.com,2012-02-09:705844:Video:780411 2012-02-09T17:29:59.984Z Jean-Louis Naudin http://diydrones.com/profile/JeanLouisNaudin
