Through experimentation with an Air 2s I have found that varying the number of waypoints has little to no effect on the smoothness of “virtual stick” missions. I provided some details about the experiments here:

The first was a mission with a reasonable number of waypoints, one POI and the curve size set to 1/2 the distance between waypoints which results in a perfectly smooth circle: [junk] As you might have guessed, this did not result an a smooth yaw movement. Next, I tried a similar mission with many waypoints. I got the same result: T…
