I am working on a customer project that was one of the first jobs I ever did when I started working here 10 years ago. We fly the project every 6 months and the laptop fires the camera via GPS coordinates. The pilot goes to the same altitude and the only real variable is the wind direction and time of day and tilt or tip of the airplane. The time of day changes the shadows and of course the time of year. The wind cause the pilot to have to "crab" the airplane to fly the same heading across the ground. The camera mount compensates for most of that and any tilt or tip. Year after year the images are remarkably the same image within a few dozen feet of the same spot in the sky. I set the project up with slightly old software 10 years ago. Since everything is set up all I have to do is drop in the new image and change the flight date. It is about the only time I crank up the software package but it just does the job fine. It ain't broke so I don't feel like fixing it. The now antique software just works fine.
