Stealth 0 #1 February 25, 2005 Few days ago I had a chance to try my Neptune as audible and Pro-track in other ear. Two jumps from scary altitude - 5250ft Throw PC at 4100 ft. Both audibles works great at selected altitudes and simultaneously ! ProTrack shows 16 and 18 seconds of freefall and declines to calculate any speed - shows 0 km/h max 0 km/h average. Neptune shows 14 and 14 seconds of freefall, and calculate average speed and 3K speed - it is great feature! But it seems little useless for me to read average speed of 12K (actually between 12500 and 11500) because it is usual exit altitude, and average speed of 3K(3500-2500) because it is deployment altitude. 9K and 6K averages is great feature anyway. Also I was little dissapointed - Neptune does not show max and min speed on screen So only way to know how fast or how slow I was is to buy ParaLog software and go home for computer I was impressed of Neptune swoop mode - it is great help to eyes to judge altitude. Finally I think Neptune is good device and hope Alti will improve it further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #2 February 25, 2005 Quote Finally I think Neptune is good device and hope Alti will improve it further. That's the true strength of the Neptune. It continues to "learn" what we need from it, and the software is WAY more reliable than it used to be. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alti-2 field reps can change the altitudes at which the Neptune displays speeds.

kelpdiver 2 #4 February 25, 2005 Per the release notes on alti-2's page, max speed was replaced with average due to a large number of requests from the first wave of owners. I get to demo one soon. I suspect I'd want to alter the 3000 average up a bit if I bought one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
