Euler angles of Vehicle

[Yasonandan Vadlamudi]

I am trying to get the vehicle Rotation matrix by using the function GetVehicle().GetRot() and calculating the roll pitch and yaw angles. 

I get Yaw angles ranging  from -180 degrees to +180degrees which i feel is not realistic because yaw angles are only a few degrees in general. 

Can you help if I am doing wrong somewhere?

Hi Yaso,

 

It may be helpful to tell us what you did exactly.  Anyway, keep in mind that GetRot() returns a quaternion representing the rotation with respect to the global reference frame.

Why would you only expect small yaw angles?! Depending on what maneuver your vehicle is undergoing, that can be anything.
