It is simply that the arrows behind are describing a curve - a common optical illusion. Love the work you guys keep doing and the quality that we are offered.

I´m not sure what you mean by the arrows behind, but the curve in the line is definatley not an optical illusion.

But now that my brain has woken up fully I get how the twa predictor is working, and its really cool.

One additional improvement that should be applauded in the upgrade is the significant improvement in response time when setting a new twa or cc, great job!!

It does curve if you set a course by TWA... curves to show effect of future wind direction on your course.... set a CC course and its still dead straight.

Sozi: I know OP was about old predictor (wast posted before new one came out!), but same holds... the hour marks werre equally spaced on that one to, again implying constant BS/TWS

I now can see the curving and think this is ultra-groovy.
Brilliant job, guys!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
