Ways to use VideoF2B

The most prominent feature of VideoF2B is the drawing, or tracing, of a path behind a Control Line aircraft in video. These traces help us to visualize the figures that a Stunt pilot performs during a flight.

There are two general ways you can use VideoF2B to produce videos: Basic, and Augmented Reality.

Basic

This is the simplest use of VideoF2B. The result is a video where the path of the aircraft is traced with a colored line. No additional geometry is drawn.

Augmented Reality

In this mode, VideoF2B draws the traced path as well as reference geometry that includes a wireframe of the flight hemisphere and all F2B Stunt figures of the correct shape and size per the current FAI rules.
