Jump logging and analysis

[BASE813 0]

I have been speaking with a skydiver from Bonfire that offered to create software for skydivers for free to create some software for BASE jumpers to use.


After some discussion, he can create some windows software that will allow you to enter details of your jumps and drill down and pull out detailed information relating to your information.

I thought this a good idea as I had a spreadsheet where i could bring up information relating to my jumps where I could say what PC I used I had the most off headings with........

I sent this guy a list of the data points I could initially think of to have, (i got this together in a few minutes) and I would like others to review and add as this guy will "FOR FREE" create some software allowing the anal section of our group drill down what ever figures we want from what ever information we want.......

For all of us anoraks, we need to take advantage of this...................

yup. dats me. the "for free" guy.... lol

didn't have base in mind really when i suggested but am getting the most input from you guys so lets do this and do it right so that it is a resource instead of a gadget. capisce?

thinking of things like pocketPC companion program to allow you to jot the info down in the field when it is fresh and sych with the main app.

This is a real offer, so take advantage of it. the planning board is @ my website Jump Log Planning Board

namaste, motherfucker.

Seems to be very comprehensive, I might be borrowing that as a template for my logbook!

I'm not sure how relevent anyone feels this is, but how about a section for other environmental effects? e.g. thermal activity on large walls, wind shifts and shears down the centre of canyons, turbulence from weird structures etc.

Think all data in the .doc is relevant and this new software will help to keep full detail of our performance.. Today I use a simple Excel book.

Maybe it should start being individual sofware and later on make a BASE logbook web page and all of us could upload our data in order to keep worldwide info for statics and current jumpers within an acces code NIP..

If this GIG bro could make us a GUI BASE logbook in windows, maybe there's another brother in other country that could help us to develop this WebBASE logbook.

I'll be waiting for the sofware..

Think quick!

Two thoughts:

1) I'm using a filemaker database to track jumps. I built it a couple years ago, and I throw in new stuff from time to time. It can even hold still images and video fromt the jump (or the party afterward, if you prefer).

2) I also keep paper logs for many reasons (like I can fill them out wherever I am). I'll attach my paper page to this post as a .doc file.

it will start out as a web app so we can collaboratively refine it. when the soup is done will port to windows app. be the same thing, only with a windows gui. i.e. the app will have a tiny asp.net server built in.

i can see the local app/server syncing with global server at users request using a personal filter to only upload values that the user wants public etc....

Tom: how about a table structure from you filemaker db to give me an idea of what YOU keep track of in your db?

namaste, motherfucker.
