Rex Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I don't Understand the "Anchored" orbit or how it differs from a circular orbit. It seems like if you put the waypoint at the anchor, they are the same thing. Can someone please explain how it works? Pretend that I'm 5 years old, which doesn't take much imagination to do. Thank you!

Thank you! Rather than a circle or point to point (racetrack) this lets you define a large squared-off oval. Length x width, direction of travel, etc. Think "tanker" and "rectangular flight path" rather than the tanker suddenly pulling 30 degrees of bank to get back the same direction it came. Length is the long side, width is the diameter of the circle it flies to get on a heading back. Ok, maybe not a five year old. I avoid those. 4 2
