riggerrob 643 #1 July 19, 2016 This is a challenge to some of the software geeks who like to skydive. Can they write an "app" that will simulate an analog altimeter to help Freefall students practice on the ground? An electrical simulator as been sold by Para-Gear for decades, but with cell phones more popular than ....... On an iPhone, the simulator would display an analog altimeter face (graduated for 12,000 feet or 4,000 metres). There would be 2 or 3 buttons off to the side to zero it, adjust rate of descent (120 for belly flying, 16o for sit-flying and 200 for tandem-terminal. The software would also calculate vertical acceleration during the first 15 seconds of freefall. Any takers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
