quick qu about ccr bailout
1) can you use multiple gasses? ie
21/0
100/0
it doesnt seem to work at the moment.
2) if this is possible it should warn you that your bailout pp02 is too high, currently it lets me put in 100/0 as my only bailout mix for a 30m dive
3) what is the bail-put pp02 ? is this a typo and is it the max bailout pp02? that would be used in point 2 above? or have i got this one all wrong?

1) Yes - Any number of gases can be entered for bailout
2) It does warn you right now - Look at the Max pO2 on the bailout tab - It will light up in RED. I deliberately didn't enforce a set of gases for entry because if I did, you wouldn't have a way to say "Ok, If I bail to a po2 of 2.0 in an emergency, and I can ascend quick enough to get it in check (less then 5 minutes let's say to get to a depth where it's under 1.6)", you might opt for that mix given the decompression advantages (time/mix trade offs). Really, I wanted this to be a dynamic tool to test some of those ideas too.
To see the switch happening, look at the Profile Details tab
BTW - If you are a CCR diver silly enough to only carry 100% as your bailout, this program isn't going to save you from yourself
3) Typo - Whoops - You are the first to notice
Interestingly, the way I devised this was so that when entering a max bailout po2, the software could decide when to switch gases for you based on po2, with the assumption that it would lead to the quickest "get me the hell outta here" situation. HOWEVER, it has NO effect if you only enter 1 bailout gas since losing your rebreather leaves you one choice for bailout - The cylinder you are carrying. The software has no choice but to switch to it - Damn the torpedoes and the pO2
