• You can see the joystick of the pilot, also you can see the throttle and rudder position in every second.
• You can see an updating Heading Deg compass.
• Visualing data of the plane and Stick:
• Visual Graphs: you can see 3 Graphs: Feature Graph, Correlated Feature Graph and Regeression Graph.
• The graphs are dynamically updating while flying. The left graph shows in X axis the number of current line from the CSV file, and in Y axis
• the value of the Feature which chosen in the list, in the right graph the Y axis is the value of the most correlated feature. In the list there are all the features from the CSV file and you can chose one of them to show.
• Upload Dll for Research your Flight and find some Errors. You can chose any Anomaly Detection Algorithn you want.
