Neptune v3.0.0 Updates for Raeford Area Skydivers

[slotperfect 7]

The long awaited Neptune software update (v.3.0.0) has arrived! I have set up four dates/times to be available for skydivers in the vicinity of Raeford, North Carolina:

Fri, 21 Sep 07, 5:00-7:30 PM, Raeford Parachute Center (Aviator’s Restaurant)
Sun, 14 Oct 07 11:30-5:00 PM, Raeford Parachute Center (Skydiving School)
Fri, 9 Nov 07, All Day, Laurinburg-Maxton Airport (GK Black & Gold Meet)
Sat, 10 Nov 07, All Day, Laurinburg-Maxton Airport (GK Black & Gold Meet)

Your Neptune will be updated to software version 3.0.0. If your Neptune has the latest hardware revision (shows up as x.x.x D on the info screen), your Neptune will be fully upgraded to a Neptune2. If you have an older hardware rev (a, A, B, or C), you will gain all of the Neptune2 features except the extended logbook capacity. I will also have some spare parts to make minor repairs. I will be upgrading to v3.0.0 only; updates to earlier software version will not be available.

You will need to provide a fresh battery for the upgrade.

Reformatting of the memory is required: if you are upgrading from v2.6.2 or earlier, you will lose all of your logs. Be sure to transfer all logged jumps to Paralog or to paper logbooks before getting the upgrade.

A version history with all upgrade features is available here

If you would like to do this upgrade yourself, you can download it here

I am happy to make arrangements to update your Neptune through the mail or at another time and/or location convenient to both of us. To coordinate, please send me a PM.

Does this firmware update address any hardware issues as well? Or is it simply adding features?

I sent you all the information I have via PM. Beyond that, you can browse the Alti-2 Forums or email Roger Allen with your questions roger@alti-2.com
