Re: Organizing 'Favorites' in Ballistics FTE...
I'm trying to contact Jonathan - without success so far.
I have a problem with Favorites - stored profiles do not keep (nor allow to set/edit) Projectile name. Instead they're stuck with "Custom Projectile" if you either add a bullet that's not in his library (such as Berger 0.338 Hybrid 300gr), or change one of the listed bullets from G1 to G7 BC. This creates a problem when you make a comparison graph for several profiles/projectiles.
And I hoped to get his help in entering stepped BC.
So far - no response to email, and no response to Bug Report submitted via iTunes App Store.
<span style="font-weight: bold">I think Jonathan is registered on SH - does anybody know his user id?</span>
Tnx!
P.S. On the off-chance that he's on this site and sees this thread - here's a copy my my email:
<span style="font-style: italic">Jonathan,
I'm trying to get in touch with you regarding your nice program Ballistic FTE v2.3.10 (the latest released, I believe).
First – the problem. I seem to be unable to store a new or a modified Projectile with a name different from "Custom Projectile". When I store a profile – e.g. after changing BC from G1 to G7 – projectile's name changes to "Custom Projectile" regardless of how I name the saved profile (Favorite) itself. In general this is an inconvenience – but it becomes a problem when one tries to compare several projectiles/loads on Ballistic or Wind Drift charts/graphs. Then – especially if the projectiles are of the same caliber and weight (such as 0.338 Sierra MK 300gr and Berger Hybrid 300gr) – all one sees is a set of curves each labeled 0.338 Custom Projectile 300gr. Could you change/fix this please?
Probably related to this is my other problem or question: I seem to be unable to either edit an entry in the Projectiles library, or add a new one. I seem to only be able to add a new Profile/Favorite. Am I missing something, or is the library intentionally "un-editable"?
Yet another question – for some projectiles I have stepped G7 BC. Naturally I'd prefer to use it – but I saw no way of adding stepped BC, even though your program clearly supports it. Could you help me here please?
I've sent you email from my home account and submitted a bug report via App Store (iTunes), but haven't heard back from you. So – now knowing if your spam filter killed my previous email – I'm sending you this one, assuming that your spam filter won't block it.
Thank you! And hope to hear back from you regarding these issues.</span>
