Fricken awesome mate damn good edit. Some serious hrs must have went into putting that together. Luv it

Too far away squeak.. Its a Crossfire2 at Arizona other wise yeah, but I want it now ; )

Hey people can anyone tell me what frieght companies they have used that are good price? I want to send package from USA to Aussie Land but it fricken pricey.....

Cheers Squeak... Damit does this mean I have to do belly shit. Not even sure I can do that anymore???

Ok wait up... when you say stiletto 150-170 has short recovery. Why does this differ from a 120 is it a wing loading thing or are the canopies different or what please explain. So they are pretty much the same canopy at any given size when compared against the same size.

Hi guys/girls... I will be doing a heap of hours at Eloy next year, 1 on 1 coaching. Can anyone tell us what you need to do/complete to be able to fly any tunnel anywhere with ya mates? As in, do you get some sort of certificate to basically say you are good enough to fly in a tunnel? I ask because I want to try and reach this level while I’m in Eloy. So when I’m back I can do semi regular trips to Singapore and share tunnel time with mates? Cheers

Hey just wondering if anyone has compaired a springo against other wings??? Ive heared they are like a stiletto with a quick recovery arc. is this true. I'd be interested to hear anyones thoughts on when compairing it to any other same size canopy. Cheers people.

I have just updated again (twice) to get the chirp option up and running. But its not there? Is there a way to check if the update worked other than looking at the config file? No No my bad I forgot to delete the config file than do the on off..... Its all good, chirp is there. Time to play. Once again thanks for ya help you are awesome. And so is flysight.

Sweet as... Cant wait to try it. 1 more sleep and Im in the air

Your awesome!!! If eva I am in Canada I shall shout you a jump... Look forward to the chirp......

Yeah it’s all a lot to take in, but the more I learn about it the more I realise it’s such a great tool. Are you able to elaborate on what exactly is “total speed” I get the other modes but is total speed a sum of vertical and horizontal or something? Your right about my needs (free flying within a speed range) Is the chirp sound a work in progress? I will be trying a new canopy soon too so Flysight can help me test it out up high with regards to practicing dives and flaring etc. Very cool bit of gear I recon. Hey when you do get around to updating the config page make sure you post a link here too. Thanks heaps for your help, I sure did need it.

I now have the new firmware on flysight. I have tested it with min and max set at 20kph and 60kph. And it works sweet I can tell when I get over 20 and same for the max.... This will work great in freefall. What I would like to know is, is there a link to a detailed explanation of the rest of the settings that I now have in the file that I can adjust? Or do I just need to change things around a bit and test them to see what changes it will makes? I have attached a pic of the config file check it out and see if anyone can fill in the blanks for me.

Haha I got 3 so what your saying I can sell 2 of em...Nah Sydney this break. Keen to do a few vert jumps with ya. Need to get a few in with ya before you go to Eloy and come back as Mr Awesome!!! Gonna start to plan my trip when I get back from Syd.

If I had the coin right now I would go with you on your trip Sqeak....Bevo

Ok, I deleted the config file. Disconnected flysight. Turned it on and off. Plugged it in and I now have the config file back. But it looks identical to the last one. Are you able to attach a copy of what the new config file looks like?

Ok, I have followed all instructions and I am now running new version of babel. I noticed that the config file is identical to what it was before. I expected to see it say "Threshold for tone (all modes) and cm/s vertical speed etc or something like that. But it still says "threshold for mode 2 & 3". I set the configuration up as a test, to see if it works anyway. Set it to model = automotive, rate 200, mode horizontal speed, max 2682 (60mph), threshold 894. I went for a drive thinking it should start beeping at 20 mph and increase as I speed up to 60mph. But it didn't it pretty much beeped while I was walking around. So the threshold didn’t work. Not sure if it is something I have done wrong. I followed it all spot on, but like I said I expected the config file to look different but it’s not. Any ideas. As for checking my glide ratio under canopy, I realise wind will affect this but I am hoping to test it on a nil wind day (at 1st) and make a mental note while flying from landmark to land mark in full glide/half brake/deep brakes etc to get a clearer idea of how much ground I can cover. Then I can map it out and measure it on Google. Then I can use those measurements at another DZ to get spot on landings flying a consistent pattern. Again, nil wind only at this stage. It all makes sense in my head but I probably don’t explain it very well. Yeah I had a go at converting files before trying to load up onto Google earth but had no joy, Until I stumbled across paralog. I don’t plan on using the tones while under canopy I think that would be pointless, just want to map out some measurements. Cheers for all your help, with out it this would have taken me a whole lot longer.

Down loading FLIP? I dont know which version to use so I clicked... ""Under the "Software" heading, click the disk icon to the left of the version you want to download. If you're using Windows, and unsure which version to download, go ahead and download"" "FLIP 3.4.2 for Windows (Java Runtime Environment included)". But it just takes me to Atmel product release page. How do I work out what version to download.

Hey guys I am planning to head to Eloy for Tunnel time and enjoy the DZ. Just wondering what the best time of year would be to plan for. Taking into account the weather/boogies/discount rates at different times in the year etc.

Dude you must be the most helpful mofo on this site. I recon everything you just said is a top idea. And in the mean time I will utilise your sneaky hack to start beeping at the lower speed and increase up to the max setting. Yeah I also had a look over the link before. So basically the only difference in the configuration is that I will be able to set the threshold ( speed at which the start of the tone begins ) while it is set to vertical speed mode? Or all modes to be exact… but I will only be using vert speed. Also I have only logged 2 jumps on it so far while it was set to default settings. I have only just worked out how to look at the data in paralog. Am I able to work out my canopy glide ratio to help work out better landing patterns? i.e. calculate where I should start my down wind, x wind and into wind approach etc. And map it out on Google earth.

Looks freakin sweet....

Cool, I had a read on how to update and install the beta firmware and I think I should be able to do that. All good. But I was trying to find if there is a guide to help with configuring the fly sight once the beta is installed. I am guessing there will be other parameters you can change to vary the tone and pitch etc. I can’t find any info, or will it be self explanatory when I look at the configuration file? Previously you said… ”In the "production" firmware, the vertical speed threshold is active only in the glide ratio modes. This has been changed in the "beta" firmware--it's now used in every mode. However, this only really gets you a solid indication on the bottom end.” I don’t understand what (threshold) is or what you mean by bottom end. What does threshold do for me when it is set in vertical speed?

What is the beta firmware? Is this a software upgrade? if so how do I do this.

Found it, Sussed it, tested it... Awesome tool Cheers for ya help. ; )

Sweet, it can be done. Do you know of a link/website where I can find out how to do this? Im very green at using the flysight.

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can set up a flysight gps to beep for you to know what speed range you are doing. instead of glide ratio. I ask cause i am having probs with my freefly/head down speed... too fast. Thought it would be good if you could set a desired speed in flysight and it would help guide me to it. would great for solo jumps. If any one know if this can be done let us know. Cheers
