Dead_Reckoning_Tutorial

NOTE: This tutorial needs updating for the new DeadReckoningCalculator. For the moment I recommended you read the DeadReckoningCalculator.h and Entity_State_PDU.h comments for advice on dead reckoning.

Further details on the use of the Dead Reckoning Parameter data type can be found in the [ Entity_State_PDU - Advanced tutorial](Sending_a_Entity_State_PDU_Tutorial_Advanced_)

Dead Reckoning Calculator

The _Dead Reckoning Calculator_ functions can be found in "KDIS\Extras\DeadReckoningCalculator.h"

To calculate dead reckoning the static function **DeadReckoningCalculator::CalcDeadReckoning** is provided, this function will take in all the parameters required and output a new position and orientation value for a delta time step based on the dead reckoning algorithm. Individual functions are also provided for each algorithm, for example **CalcDeadReckoningFPW**.

Applying Dead Reckoning to a Entity_State_PDU

The Entity_State_PDU also contains a member function called **ApplyDeadReckoning( KFLOAT64 DeltaTime )**, this function will calculate the dead reckoning for the Entity_State_PDU and update its location and orientation values for the delta time step.
