mccordia 74 #2 July 27, 2010 Do the read-out via paralog, and just adjust the opening altitude to where it should be in the graph. On most logging devices CONSISTENCY (not flying a contant speed, but varying a lot) is the cause of wrong 'deployments' and not slow speeds. A flare (be it intentional or not) is usually the reason a canopy deployment is logged. The smoother you fly, the better the results (on any device). That aside, 600 or so wingsuit jumps on my Altitrack, and always logs untill the parachute comes out. L&B AltiTrack is what Id recommend...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Butters 0 #3 July 27, 2010 The problem is software can't distinguish between deploying a canopy and flaring a wingsuit ... I gave up using my altimeter for anything other than the occasional altitude check (which can be done regardless of which mode it's in)."That looks dangerous."

mccordia 74 #4 July 27, 2010 Even flaring the altitrack seems to do great...and should (any) logging device incorrectly register an opening, just use a computer to check the graph...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base851 0 #5 July 27, 2010 I have an older L&B ProTrack set on the SLO jump profile and it works correctly about 95% of the time. It still gives me the freefall alarms even if it registered "deployment" 6000 feet previously, which is nice. I had a Neptune III before and it worked right on the Wingsuit setting. You may want to check the jump type setting on the unit and make sure that it's in a Slow/Wingsuit setting... if it has one. If not, any of the newer audibles should be able to handle wingsuit weirdness pretty reliably. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #6 July 27, 2010 My Altitrack rarely trips a flare as canopy deployment. It must be in SLO mode to function correctly. Before SLO mode, it tripped about 60% of the time. After putting in SLO mode, perhaps 3-4 false readings out of several hundred jumps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I flared a demo Tony XS and fooled my Altitrack into thinking I'd deployed. Yes, it was in SLO mode.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I recorded 8 mph fallrates in my Stealth2....just make the flare more gradual, and it will record all the way.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
