updating positional data

[Jeff]

That code should give you 0 km/hour if you are not moving along the y-axis which is the height. I think you may be wanting to get the speed along the z-axis. If that's the case then just dind the difference in z coordinates rather than the y coordinates.

[Jeff]

just to clarify, in the joystick navigation code, when you move the joystick on its y-axis that moves Vizard's viewpoint forward or backward which is Vizard's z axis. So to get the current z position just do

current_posZ = current_pos[2]

you're a star Jeff - thank you!! Is there any reason that I'm getting a continual drift of the viewpoint to the right though, even if I'm not using the joystick?

Don't worry Jeff - its sorted! Cheers for your help!
