Steve,
Can you elaborate on this? I ask for 2 reasons:
1) The auto-bailout function assumes the worst-case time to have a catastrophic failure. By basing the bailout gas requirements on the worst case, it makes sure you get in the water with *at least* that much gas, and a profile to deco with that, even if long, would be safe. (It does this by looking for the highest tissue loading in the profile).
2) I originally intend to add a feature which allows you to pick the bailout point, but my thinking was for completely different reasons, mostly related to sawtooth profiles like those you see in a cave. Given those conditions, it would be difficult for the software to determine the "worst" point, not knowing the dive environment.
If you wouldn't mind, could you post some examples and reasoning of what you're going for?
Thanks

Hi,
What I mean is that if you have to bail out on bottom and then not begin to ascend at planned ascent rate immediately (i.e. to get out of a wreck or back to line where perhaps you have staged some of your bail out) then your bailout gas requirement is going to be substantially greater than expected. By "expected" I am assuming the program starts O/C usage at the beginning of ascent.
It's a relatively minor issue for me ..not being one to grovel that far into a wreck!!! It has been disussed etensively in the bailout planning threads on Rebreather World.
Love the look and feel of the interface by the way!!
