We would then receive orbit status from TM. This will decide whether we will be computing follow_straight_path or follow_orbit_path. For math, refer to the straight path and orbit path follow section. In our test case, we only follow the straight path.
The error with desired track and desired altitude was so simple yet so weird.
You just have to assign the output variables to the values.
