Hi everybody,
There is one or two years, I made a soft to help glider's builders to calc the glide ratio of their gliders. Now, I programmed another one that is very more stable and look better.
It's looking like that :
So, you just need to stabilize the glider at one speed, then, start a chronometer and hold in your mind the altitude of the glider at this moment. When you want, stop the chronometer and look at the altitude again. You just have to calc by yourself the difference between your starting altitude and your ending altitude (Tip : you can start the chronometer at an altitude like 1400ft and stop at 1200ft, lost altitude correspond to 1400-1200=200ft) and set in the soft values.
Yes it's a bit complicated but I didn't found a better way.
If I made mistakes in the soft, please, tell me, I'm french and I don't have the best english of the world :,)
You can download the setup here :

Or the portable version here :

To finish, just a small precision : biggest is the altitude difference, better is the precision of the calc :)
Thanks to read and have a nice day :)
Torrent sites for comics are online platforms where users can access and download a variety of comic books, graphic novels, and manga through a peer-to-peer network. These sites have become increasingly popular among comic book enthusiasts who want to expand their collections or read new titles without having to pay for them. Some of the popular Torrent sites for comics include The Pirate Bay, 1337x, and Torrentz2. These sites offer a vast collection of comics from different genres, including superhero titles like Marvel and DC, indie graphic novels, and manga from Japan and other countries. Many of these sites have active communities of users who share their collections and provide recommendations for new titles to read. One of the benefits of using torrent sites for comics is the vast collection of titles available. Users can find rare and out-of-print comics, which may be difficult to find in physical stores or online retailers. These sites also allow users to access new releases immediately after they are published, often before they are available in stores. However, it's important to note that downloading copyrighted material from these sites is illegal in many countries. Users should be aware of the potential legal risks involved in using these sites and exercise caution when downloading files. It's also important to use a reliable antivirus software to protect against viruses and malware that may be present in some of the files available for download. Overall, torrent sites for comics provide a convenient way for comic book enthusiasts to access and read a wide range of titles. However, users should be aware of the potential risks and take the necessary precautions when using these sites.
@WNP78 Seem not, the glide ratio is false in this mod ...
Mind checking them out? @Matthew01
@Stampede No problems, I was inactive for almost one year x)
Hey Matt! So sorry Ive been inactive for what, 8 months? But Ive made some new builds!
Pilot math:
Each degree nose down (from level flight) equals 100’ lost per mile. Example: You will lose 1000’ per mile at 10 degrees nose low.
Rate of Descent: Mach times degrees from level flight equals feet per minute down/up. Example: 120 knots/mph equals .2 Mach, multiplied by 3 degrees nose down (typical final approach angle) equals 600 fpm down (too bad we don’t have a variometer/rate of descent indicator).
Glide ratio: Altitude lost per mile. To get miles per minute, divide speed by 60.
Pilot math equals easy math. 60 to 1 rule makes all these calculations very easy and close enough for flying use. Unfortunately, I don’t know the metric equivalents for these calculations, but as SP uses English units, these work!
or you could use a calculator. Or this
