I checked two scripts in parallel - the author’s script and mine. Both scripts gave one result with a difference of one meter along the Z axis. The experiment was performed on March 21, 2020.

LCD display coordinates does not work in real time anymore

будет ли обновление?

Thanks for realizing that Keen set the sun spinning in the wrong direction, and making this script point to Y- as north (the actual north in SE according to sun rotation. :)

This is awesome! Thanks for this!

One other thing I found, it looks like your longitude's axis is backwards from how earth's is defined relative to latitude. This will only affect you if you are trying to calculate the bearing you need to take in order to get from one lat/long coordinate to another (for example using the equation on this page http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html ). If you are, then multiply your longitude values by -1 as part of the formula and you'll be good to go.

This is a really awesome script, thank you for contributing it.

I think on line 133 position 78 you spelled a variable wrong. Changing LaststPos to LastPos seems to boost accuracy dramatically. Please let me know if I've got this wrong though.

It can't work on a static grid. It has to calibrate via movement in a straight line, then select option 2 and 3.

seem don't work on a static grid.

I've found a bug. It doesn't like having the programmable block named "Programable Block". The game keeps apending a number, upon loading of the game. Can this be fixed with a new block identifier?

Thanks, I was a bit confused about what the Vector3D.Reject method was doing.

So it's figuring out which direction is the 'right' and using that to put the bearing in the proper quadrant when 'right' points into the north hemisphere...

It looks like the cross product of the forward and gravity vectors (in that order) gives a reliable 'right' too, with a little less testing. And I just stumbled across Atan2, which makes longitude easier...

Left and down vectors are probably just checking your ship orientation. also, if you're flying "upside down", your coordinates must stay the same. Thats what i used up and left vectors for.

While comparing your code to some I was writing as a way of checking mine for mistakes, inaccuracies, and such, I noticed that my latitude calculation gives the same result with no dot product or "if > 0, negate" check, making it way shorter. If you're interested, the line I used is:

Math.Asin(GravNormal.GetDim(1));

where GravNormal is:

var GravNormal = Vector3D.Normalize(Remote.GetNaturalGravity());

I'm having a little trouble following the bearing calculations -- I'm not really sure what it's doing with the left/right/down vectors. I'll probably have to play around with debug output. Do you happen to know of any resources you could point me at that would describe how that's calculated, or did you just figure it all out on your own?

i've made new loc-on func. As soon as I will debug it, i'll use it in AA AT rockets.

by the way pennywise looking forward to more releases from you, I kinda want to reapply ur script to a small fighter that can autlock ona ship in a dogfight, should be really interesting.

thanks guys!

Yeah using intersection is a good way. I used phi theta for orbiting mechanics.

artiedee Я нахожу центр планеты по пересечению 2 векторов гравитации.
полюс -Y - это север
Y - юг
а дальше, по солнцу восток-запад.

Pennywise, spasibo za script!

Thanks.

До определенной точки показывает на полюс, но ее очень быстро проскакиваешь компас показывает на другое направление. В игре полюс - это не какое-то место, это очень мальнькая точка. Так что какой-то обширной магнитной аномалии на полюсах нет.

Мне вот интересно, а что будет показывать компас на полюсе планеты? Будет сходить с ума или что-нибудь другое.
Сам, к сожалению, проверить не могу, т.к на у меня планетах 5 фпс это уже много

Facinating work. I have been using many less reliable ways to determine direction. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
