PR-48 INDOPACO, 2024 (Wind Farm + Dot Changing Apparent Direction)

[john.phil]

So if it was 2024 then it's down to within 3 days?

And now we know the location we can get the wind direction..

It looks like the repair vessel was there continuously from 9 Dec '23 until at least 3 Jan '24, and we don't see it in the video. So looks like the video was taken before it arrived.

It's possible the vessel did not complete the repairs before leaving. Instead, it might have been involved in the initial inspection and removal of debris before the blades could be replaced at a later date.

Something is wrong in my simulation, the drone has to travel at 690 km/t - 192 m/s
I just don't get it how I can match the video as well as this, if the distance is half or less?

(only made the first 21 seconds)

I will try to see if I can match match the start and end point at closer range.

Half or less of what?

 

[ThomasH]

Half or less of what?

The distance.
I matched the perspective pretty well at that FOV, if I move to half the distance, I can't match all the turbines...
I will try to get it working.

 

[ThomasH]

Half or less of what?

When I move the camera much closer, I start losing the perspective.

If the platform was an MQ-9A Reaper, cruising speed is 313kph, max is 482kph. For the MQ-9B, cruising speed is 310kph, maximum speed is 390kph.

Looks like it was the Zhongtian 8 Heavy Maintenance and Construction platform that was there for more than a fortnight.

Could it be further away and using an possibly limited undocumented narrower FOV, we ran in to this with the ATFLIR having listed optical FOVs and then also digital crop modes that presented smaller FOVs

If it's further away it have to go even faster to rotate the perspective right.
