Is the BaseObject.Setposition's pitch rotation blocked beyond the -90~90 range?

I am trying UDP communication using linux Simulation, which is one of the examples.

However, regardless of the model of the aircraft, it only allows a range of -90 to 90 for pitch rotation, and if it exceeds this range, it goes down in reverse.

For example, -80 degrees represents a rotation equal to -100 degrees.

Of course, I converted from degree to radian.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

This is the standard Euler angle convention we use. Pitch angle is defined as the angle above horizontal, which can only be a max of +/- 90 degrees. For example, an aircraft rotating over the top would go down (as you've noted), but bank angle would invert, e.g. 0 to 180 degrees. It would not make sense to have a looping airplane with a 100 degree pitch angle at 0 bank.

Hope this helps illustrate it.

Then if you want the aircraft to rotate 360 ​​degrees pitch, Should I use a quaternion transform?

[Mike Schroeter]

Yes, that is the most acceptable method.
