looking for a HUD guru who is friends with Pythagoras

[Guest ridgell]

you can get angle,distance,and bearing to next way point or to a nav station. seems like someone would have used pythagoras to id the next wp on a hud...but i cant find one to steal....ummm borrow.perhaps a generous soul will show us remedial math types how it is done?

Hi,This is experimental.It moves the next waypoint and ident to the HUD center: ("center of screen")(A:GPS IS ACTIVE WAY POINT,bool) (A:GPS DRIVES NAV1,bool) and %((A:GPS WP NEXT ID,string))%!s!% (A:GPS WP DISTANCE,nmiles) (>L:DME,nmiles) (A:GPS WP TRUE REQ HDG,radians) (A:GPS GROUND TRUE HEADING,radians) - pi 2 / + pi + (>L:rad,radians) (L:rad,radians) sin (L:DME,nmiles) *(L:rad,radians) cos (L:DME,nmiles) * (L:rad,radians) sin (L:DME,nmiles) * (L:rad,radians) cos (L:DME,nmiles) * Hope you can do something with it,Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
