Turn Your Drone Flights into Immersive Virtual Missions (AirData to Google Earth Pro)

[DJ Wes]

I have developed a utility that converts an AirData flight log into a virtual mission compatible with Google Earth Pro. While there are many potential applications, two key uses include:

1. Visual Analysis – Review and analyze a previously flown mission from your computer, observing the exact flight path in a 3D environment.
2. Video Integration – Seamlessly merge actual flight footage with a simulated version of the same mission in Google Earth Pro for enhanced presentations or cinematic effects.

The utility offers multiple data extraction options, enabling users to focus the simulation on specific portions of the flight. A drone type selection feature ensures the simulated field of view (FOV) matches the original footage. Additionally, the “Initial FlyTo Duration” setting can be adjusted to create a slower, more cinematic introduction to the simulation.

I have prepared several examples demonstrating the capabilities and creative possibilities of this tool.
