Ballistic Function 9 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0
Upon which reference or equation is the ballistic function based? I need to determine how to approach putting in trajectories from other functions where I have physics based inputs and then do my random variations.

The Ballistic function implements a simple keplarian orbit passing through the two locations (both must have the same altitude).
The apogee altitude is set to the Loft factor multiplied by the minimum energy apogee altitude.

Loft Factor < 1.0 gives depressed trajectory
Loft Factor == 1.0 gives minimum energy
Loft Factor > 1.0 gives lofted trajectory
