I found that the path files were very difficult to work with and so I
wrote my own algorithm for path generation.
Basically I use the mouse in flight or drive mode to define the
location where I want to be and then drive over the path again using
the mouse to determine the orientation.
The paths are visualized as a series of line segments (whose length give
a good idea of the speed of movement) in different colours.
Creating a "landmine" at the beginning of the path, causes the user to
follow the path.
A toggle causes the landmines and paths to be pruned from the display
or not.
Example path:
path 1 514 0
time x y z h p y
