[Flightgear-devel] Multiplay Jitter Problem with dual models flying in formation

[Greg & L. <wad...@co...>]

I am working on a project that requires visualization of two drones flying
in formation.  Both drones are driven by an external source via native-fdm
sockets.  Even though both drones are being fed identical kinematics, I
experience jitter between the drone models. The faster the drones move,
causes an increase in jitter. The drones are displayed together via
multiplayer mode using two pc platforms.  I sure would appreciate any
idea/suggestions on how I may eliminate the jitter problem.  The following
is the startup sequence that I use for both drones.  

 

PC1:  fgfs  --airport-id=KVPS --aircraft=drone1 --fdm=external
--callsign=Drone1

     --native-fdm=socket,in,50,,5600,udp 

                 --multiplay=out,25,194.27.165.230,5503

                 --multiplay=in,25,194.27.165.220,5502

 

PC2: fgfs -airport-id=KVPS -aircraft=drone2 -fdm=external -callsign=Drone2

     --native-fdm=socket,in,50,,5601,udp 

                 --multiplay=in,25,194.27.165.230,5503

                 --multiplay=out,25,194.27.165.220,5502
