Recording

Recordings are saved as pseudo-csv files. The first line is the recording start time as a unix timestamp (seconds since 1970). The second line is the textual representation of the column names this is used for compatibility and human readability. As a convention the first column is always the timestamp. All following lines are data.

Waypoint file Format

The waypoint file is a special type of recording. Each line consists of a latitude, a longitude, an altitude, the maximum distance to the waypoint (all doubles), and a integer wheter the plane is allowed to land (1 or 0).
