dthames 0 #1 June 21, 2015 I started jumping with a Flysight at jump number 62, used it for solo belly freefall speed range practice, used it for high performance tracking and navigation practice, and I am a huge Flysight fan. However, now that it has speech options, the Flyblind mode, and altitude cues, there is an ever increasing need to easily switch "config" files. Connecting the Flysight to a computer in order to switch config files is often impossible during a fast paced jump day. During FnD several people approached Michael Cooper about this need and some of the conversations lead to examples of how the config file could be selected using nothing but the power switch. Beta firmware has been posted with this feature. I tested it yesterday. WOW, what an addition!!!!! My normal config is for vertical speed voice with altitude cues every 1000 feet from 10,000 down to 4,000. Yesterday I added config files for competition, Time, Distance, and Speed. During the day I switched config files several times including one time shortly before exit when I discovered I was in the wrong mode for what I wanted to hear. If you are a serious Flysight user, check it out. http://flysight.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Configuring_FlySight#Selectable_configurationsInstructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if i'm correct, the new firmware doesn't have the flyblind mode. Which would be nice.

You are correct, no Flyblind option.Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HIGH1 1 #7 August 22, 2016 Please can someone offer advice about working on MacBook Pro for file config? (alteration of files etc) Initial set up is complete and I can read after jump chart but as for changing stuff... help would be appreciated.Check your ego at the door. Stay humble.

crwper 7 #8 August 29, 2016 Is there anything in particular you're looking for advice on? When you plug the FlySight into a computer, it will come up as a USB disk. In the root folder of that disk is a file called "config.txt" which can be edited to change the FlySight's behaviour. You can find basic FlySight configuration information here: http://flysight.ca/wiki/index.php/Configuring_FlySight If you're using selectable configuration files, it's a little different.
