Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

No. Can you send the favorite of the load you're truing along with the input for truing so I can debug?
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

How's it work on the iPad Mini? It seems that the mini may just be the perfect field kit answer. Good size and all the capability.

How much of the target should the ruler cover for scaling?
Is it 1 inch?
Is there a way i can choose that value according to my need or the taget size?
Thanks

Works great on my mini
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I've added metric scaling support to the next version (which I think we'll just call 4.0). I've also added custom scaling, so if you have a 2" or a 4cm X-ring, or whatever ,you can just specify the size and then drag the ruler across.

Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

If you tap on Spin Drift, what bullet length do you have specified? I can't reproduce this, sorry... your best bet is to do what I suggested last time: reset defaults, then start with a clean working load, and keep making changes until you get this output. That will help track down what input is causing this.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

3.9 is now available BTW.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I just got 3.9.
Despite i set eveything in metric i have a velocity in fps in the hud (down below).
My Mv is 857m/s and my zero 100.
When i change distance with the wheel velocity changes but in fps.

Fixed. It'll be in 4.0.1
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Great.
One more thing.
In trajectory , density altitude is in meter and in HUD settings, Da is in kg/m3.
Is it correct?

Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

What about adding a calculator as a pop up in the app itself. I find myself going out of the app once in a while to use a separate calculator. It's not hard but I have thought it would be convenient to have one in the app itself on several occasions
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I realize that this app is marketed more towards the shooter than the reloader but it does have a reloading tab that even has a function to alter the MV based on the temp sensitivity of the powder. When Driftwood mentioned a calculator it made me wonder if it be possible to add a section under the reloading tab where you could enter several of the recorded velocities from your chronographed ammo and have the app calculate the average velocity, extreme spread and standard deviation of the load. I know it’s not that had to calculate the SD and even easier to find an average velocity but what can I say, I’m lazy and having the option to calculate this information in app and then having that information (average velocity) automatically populate the MV field in the trajectory screen would be a great addition.

I also really like the idea of an in app calculator for other needs.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

That's the kind of thing you want to calculate in the precision target log; in fact, if you turn on extended logs, it records velocity and calculates average velocity for you. Adding the other calculations wouldn't be too difficult.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

The problem I was working on was more of a ballistic loophole, I was using your 3d modeling to show me what the bullet path was doing, then converting Moa to inches at various ranges. The ability to work backwards on a mil ratio formula would be nice. For example, I use my LRF to determine how for a window or doorway is, so I know the range, but I want the dimensions of the door. If I take a mil reading of the height and width, since I already know the range I can calculate the dimensions of the door. Those are just a couple of example, but I find myself going out of the program or keeping a calculator near by to use quite often. It would be great if it was just a tool I could pop up when I needed it. I thought this would be exceptionally useful on the iPad version where you have more room, but I would use it on the AE version as well. Sometimes it's, easier to just do the simple calculations by hand, as I have been doing it that way for quite a while. I could see how you could incorporate working backwards on the mil relation formula with the current mil range portion. I would like the option to enter the fields like on previous versions, rather than just using the wheels. You could just make it so that you would enter any two variables of the problem and the program would give you the third, so if you already knew the range you could mil the target and determine the height. Even if you did this, I would still like to see a calculator pop up, as I use one quite often. I really love the improvements you have made to the app. It is quickly becoming a one stop shop for me. I use this app, one called theodolite and a calculator more than any other I have, Ballistic iPad and Ballistic AE are well worth the money. Thanks for continuing to make them even better.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I've added "Avg Chronograph", "Min Chrono Spread" and "Max Chrono Spread" to the grouping data for 4.1. Let me know if there are any other calculations you need for velocity.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Coud you have the HUD screen have decimals instead of rounding up or down? There could be up to a .5MOA error. For instance at 680yds it says in the HUD U18 and the table is 18.49 MOA.

Go into settings and look for a 'precision' option under HUD.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I must not be looking in the right screen. I cant find it. Could you tell me how to find it? Thanks
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

He is not talking about opening the actual app. Go to settings on your phone and go down to the Ballistic AE icon. Select that and then scroll down to Head-Up Display heading where there is a Output Precision setting. There are three options to choose from here.( whole number,tenths, and hundredths )
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Thank you very much I know what you mean now.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Can we created DA cards from it, similar to JBM site if I recall correctly ?
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Yes you can print these straight from the app to a wireless printer, or email a full size chart to yourself.

FYI 4.0 was just pushed.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

So I have tried everything I can think of to get the atmosphere in HUD to calculate?

Enable atmosphere on but still updates to show zero setting from favorite? The wind will adjust to current location. I have to manually enter atmospherics.

However when I am in Trajectory setting up zero atmosphere or current atmosphere, it will update to current location?

Any suggestions?
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Ring</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If DA is on, it won't auto update. </div></div>

I was not aware of this. I'll fix for 4.2.
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

Just tested. Density of air works. Density altitude doesn't. If you switch to density of air or meteorological then you can update via core location. I'll fix the altitude (it does work in the trajectory page like you described just not HUD )
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

This is fixed for 4.1.1
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I wish it was possible to set every unit to metric and be able to have wind in mph.
Sounds stupid but i have a wind formula that works with wind in mph but not with meter per seconds.
Do you think it is doable?
Thanks
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I'd like to be able to set the print size for my printouts, for example instead of printing on 8.5X11 setting it to print to 8.5 x 5.5 so I can drop my printouts straight to my data book instead of a full page binder.

Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

I love this app but I noticed yesterday that there are screens that I could access a couple of weeks ago that are not accessible now. Most importantly, the reloading data. I input all of the reloading data for some of my favorites and now I cannot access or change that data. I haven't consciously changed any settings. What do I do?

Yes I know, however it still prints on a 8.5 x 11 sheet, what I was suggesting is allowing different page options for fitting into a data book. My data book pages are 8.5 x 5.75. If there is a way to currently print on that size I haven't figured it out yet. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure that's up to Apple's print manager to figure out; I don't believe the developer has any control over paper size.

Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

A quick question, as I can find no solid answer to my question anywhere else, when selecting the "Density Altitude" selection in the main setup, does the 4500 use the "zero atmosphere" for the base line when computing trajectory for output?
 
Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

The "Zero Atmosphere" in ballistic is just whatever the atmosphere was when you zeroed the rifle.
