Piloting
the current method works when steering_angle is 0
when steering is <> 0, then heading is changing (as well as position)
first calc the new heading
then calc the new position (already done)
treat steering_angle as a bearing, that is, an angle in degrees, add it to the previous heading to get the new heading
- lastKnownHeading + steering_angle = newHeading
- heading = orientation of the vehicle
- heading+helm = prediction of future course
- course = actual travel = line from previous position to current position
- simmode = precise
- heading is set instantly to what we want we want it to be
- line: heading = course, line from prevpos to current positon
- arc: heading is assumed to be perpendicular to the ray from cone to current position
- both: on nextleg, heading jumps to next leg from
- no drift
- simmode = helmed
- heading is what it is
- course is what it is
- set helm bring course back to what we want
- includes drift
- when we reach a cone
- change bearing to next cone
- set helm to steer a circle - how to calculate this based on radius and speed?
- stay in the circle until heading = bearing
