Per Matt, 2/6/26:

Additionally, we now support the following parameters, and will render most of them in the UI. It's pretty simplistic, for example only showing the camera's azimuth out to a fixed distance rather than ray-tracing based on the drone's AGL and the camera's tilt, but we wanted to gather some real-world data so that we can assess the accuracy / usefulness of more advanced functionality prior to implementing it.

  • aircraft:altitude (height above MSL in feet, if both elevation and altitude are specified, altitude wins)

  • aircraft:altitude_rate (rate of climb in ft/min)

  • aircraft:pitch (in degrees, positive is nose up)

  • aircraft:roll (posiitive is left wing up)

  • aircraft:gs (speed over the ground in knots)

  • aircraft:heading (direction the nose is pointing)

  • aircraft:track (direction of travel over the ground)

  • camera:azimuth (angle the camera is facing, degrees true north)

  • camera:tilt (up/down angle relative to horizon, -90 is straight down)

  • camera:fov_width (horizontal field of view in degrees)

  • camera:fov_height (vertical field of view in degrees)

  • camera:external_url (link to an external website showing the camera livestream)

  • camera:thumbnail_url (direct link to camera thumbnail image)
