How to continuously get the AGL of any aircraft during mission run?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Inspired by a recent "tactical low-level flight" racing "mini-game", I wish to know how to obtain continuously the AGL information for any aircraft flying. I guess the process of stop getting the information recording is not that hard.

 

Thanks in advanced.

It is pretty simple, you need to get the position of the unit, then the height ground level is at that position, and then subtract the difference. If you have the F-14 the "time trial" missions use it to log AGL stats of your aircraft. 

if Unit.getByName('whatever') then
    local pos = Unit.getByName('whatever'):getPoint()
    local agl = pos.y - land.getHeight({x = pos.x, y = pos.z}) 
    -- do whatver you want with agl value
end

I don't have the "time trial" missions for F-14 but I shall give the code fragment a try.  Thank you.

 

BTW, where can I get the said mission file?

Its just in the F-14 missions folder.
