Serving - path data over time

CesiumJS
1

Ideally we would like to load position data with time stamps (say aircraft positions) from a WFS server and then play this back animating the aircraft locations.

Can this only be done with CZML or can we use data from a WFS server?

Thanks, Ian

You can use a Cesium.SampledPositionProperty() for the position of the aircraft entity. This supports timestamped positions, they can be set up in advance like the example below, or added in real time.

Check the example at http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Interpolation.html&label=Showcases
