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

[Greg & Lisa]

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     Thanks Gregory
