Best-fit flare model from Fig. 3 for various inclinations (see the legends in the bottom right of each panel) overlapped with the observations of July 22, 2018 (gray circles). The direction of motion is indicated by blue arrows. The black hole position for each inclination is color-coordinated with the corresponding hot spot trajectory and illustrated by a diamond. Left panel: Inclinations between [0°, 90°]. Right panel: Inclinations between [90°, 180°].
