Don't have any experience with the helicopter. Maybe
someone else can help.

A flight plan is entered using the command line
option:
--flight-plan=FILE
where FILE is a text file with format [EMAIL PROTECTED] For
example, I have a file called flightplan.txt with
entries:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've found it easier to enter the waypoints in the
menu once airborne. And oddly, when I started the
simulation with the flightplan initialized a moment
ago, the rudder was in a position to command the
aircraft toward the first waypoint, making steering
down the runway impossible. Hitting <control>-c once
disengages autopilot from flightplan and to a heading
of 0 degrees, and hitting <control>-c again gets you
back to manual control.
I don't believe the autopilot can accept lat/lon
coordinates.
Hope that help (?)
Mike
