Flight vid with clouds and data overlay

Recommended Posts

A couple of weeks ago I had a very nice flight with some clouds to play with, normally on solo flights I'm just trying to maximise the glide rate but on this one I was just playing round with the clouds so the data didn't look great, the glide rate isn't very high, the forward speed isn't that high etc but that is all irrelevant as it was a great fun flight :)

I'd thought about doing data overlays and the last couple of threads on it inspired me to try it out.

I use a flysight/paralog and a CX 115 camera and after seeing a link I thought I'd try Dashware out.

I had an issue with importing the GPX output from Paralog into Dashware as Dashware generated an error so I modified the paralog jump csv template, created a lookup in Dashware and set to work on the dashboard.

About 60 mins after I'd started working on it I had a nice little dashboard running in sync with the video so I coughed up the $50 for dashware.

I guess in total from never doing an overlay to uploading this to youtube was about 2 hours.

Very Nice ..

Just a thought ... I've had problems with the GPX file from my Garmin Oregon (gave errors when trying to import into RunKeeper - http://runkeeper.com/home) - So I preprocess the Garmin file through http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ - taking the Output GPX option and that resulting file works fine....

Seems the GPX file standard isn't all that standard!!
