Start Condition "Start Point Proximity"...

[hwkacy]

I am unable to find any information on the AutoPilot waypoint setting "Start Condition" which can be set to either "None" or "Start Point Proximity", in which case a distance slider comes up.

Does anyone know what this setting does, and when you would want to use it?

Thanks!
Will

From Hangar's flightschool:

Start Condition Applies when Lost Connection is End Mission
None Autopilot will fly to the Mission Start location from any distance.

Start Point Proximity Autopilot will only fly to the Mission Start location from a specified distance.

Distance (Start Point Proximity) Applies when Start Condition is Start Point Proximity
The maximum lateral distance from the Mission Start location that Autopilot is allowed to control the aircraft movement (effectively a cylinder of infinite altitude). If the aircraft is outside of this cylinder, the operator must manually fly the aircraft closer to the Mission Start location before Autopilot will take control. Autopilot will immediately take control of the aircraft once it enters the cylinder. The Mission Start location is defined by the Mission Start marker, or a designated Checkpoint, or the first Waypoint, in that order.

Thanks, Keule! I must have been searching in an outdated version of the document.

Makes sense now.
