Hi folks,
has anyone out there any experience with SkyDemon while flying balloons? Did my first training flight on a hot air balloon yesterday, and was surprised, that the balloon folks dont use any navigation tools like SD. I brought my iPad with SD with me, and it showed, that it was very helpful, since we got very close to a small airfield, and we managed to organize a close flyby. Everything works perfectly, except the logging, since we "never got airborne"...(super slow Groundspeed).
@Tim Dawson: Tim, can you think about adding a feature, that enables SD to log balloon flights, and a feature that allows, to create an "aircraft" that is a balloon?
Appreciate your help and or your comments guys!
Cheers from Germany
Frank

Altitude is taken account of too. Once you're about 400 feet above local ground level that should also trigger the vertical profile, but logging will already have started if you've logged off blocks.
