MPCC yaw direction

so in the latest webinar Colin talked about not trying to fly sideways against the wind for better gimbal stability

I always wondered how Solo figured out which way to pan in MPCC.

For example, I want a classic 3-frames on a static subject; one flying forward towards, one above angled down, one flying backwards away. So during the frame setup let's say I yaw 180 degrees clockwise (ie there's more interesting background or I want to avoid/reduce left leg in frame) However, Solo during the actual cable yawed counter-clockwise...getting that pesky leg in the shot (even with the R3D slider mod).

I guess one way to force it is to set the top-down frame in portrait in the direction you want, but that's not an ideal framing IMO. Or create more points going into/out of the top-down frame but it'll be difficult to keep it balanced/symmetrically.

Anyone figured out how yaw direction is calculated/determined?

I've never had that problem. Solo always yaws in the direction I yaw when setting up the cable.

There is (was) an option to reverse the yaw direction but I can't remember if it us still there after MPCC came out.
