Clownburner 0 #1 June 2, 2003 Thinking about what I'd like in a freefall computer led me to create this mock up. Now, who wants to build it? 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmcd308 0 #4 June 2, 2003 For serious RW, it needs to give your total time on level, above, and below the formation, as well as the freefall computer ID number of the person whose dock knocked you eight feet. It also needs to give the percentage of the dirt dive you actually completed. For example, if your ambitious load organizer has a 20 point dirt dive, and you smoke it down to 3,000 before the initial round builds, it would say 5%. If someone was cocky enough to say "and then we'll just go through it again", then you get a 2.5%. I've been on quite a few 0% jumps, but thankfully have been causing fewer of them lately. I think this is because I am starting to master one of the important RW skills not taught in AFF - immediately blaming someone else for my own crappy flying. After all, if the formation can't fly sideways as fast as I can backslide, they really weren't all that great in the first place, were they?

LouDiamond 1 #6 June 2, 2003 I've seen a few good ideas so far and I would wager to say that something along the lines of GPS technology could provide some of the features that were mentioned( 5 sec track, 77 ft traveled) a accurate account of horizontal speed as an option would also be useful as would distance covered for those wonderful birdman flights. The technology is out there and it's capable of being small enough to fit in a pro track sized device but it's just not for public consumption at this time. I predict that in time, we will be able to have some if not allof the features mentioned so far. The neptune is a early example of the evolution. I think it will continue rigt up to the point that the pro track will also serve as a bottle opener and have a breath alyzer built into it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
