V-Planner Live - new version v3.40 is ready. All current V-Planner Live
customers should perform this upgrade.

New:

CCR - go back to CCR plan from bailouts,
CCR - Auto setpoint switch option for descent,
CCR - air pressure reading for calibrations.
Bookmarks system for capturing waypoints in a dive.

A revised pdf with that describes the new features.
Note also a new Divelog manager 2.42. You need this to extract
the bookmarks.

Download here

This is a manual setpoint CCR at present, and the 4th cell connection is still planned from Liquivision.

Regards

Ross,

Any thought to allowing you to do all of the configurations on the PC and then allow you to upload it to the X1 unit?

Thanks

Mark

It's impossible to say. I always laugh when people take on large software projects and give a completion date before they start. The basic rule is to start by doubling the predicted effort.

Second, we have a couple of other things that still need to get done.

The first is our lame website. It was done with Front Page, which has been discontinued. Maintenance is very painful now, and it shows.

The second is a manual specific to the Pursuit. The GF manual still covers 90% of the Pursuit, but there are quite a few differences and we need a new manual.

The third is an opt-in mailing list and newletter. Since so many of our products are going through dealers now, we have a lot of customers that we don't know about. It's getting harder to reach our customers with updates and news.

So I will have to supervise these other projects while I'm working on V-Planner.

That leaves the V-Planner delivery date still a mystery.

good to hear
get a templated styled website so all you need to do is write content makes life very easy, if you can control the whole look and feel of the site from one file

Hmmm.

Shearwater Meg running V-Planner Live on one wrist with a LiquiVision X1 running V-Planner Live on the other wrist and V-Planner running on the computer at home for planning.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about!

Get er done!

It's about time the industry got together on this kind of symmetry! Kudos guys!

Websites need to be made by professionals so it does not make impression that product is crafted in a garage

But I think true VPM-B model is a major competitive advantage against VR3, which uses well proven model, established on the marked, has a website, has a dealership/retail network, etc.

So please do not spend too much time to make your mailing list!

Thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking...

And maybe the X1 connected to a fourth cell through the (once to come) Rebreather link...

V-Planner Live - new version v3.41 is ready.

This is a minor update that corrects for some inconsistencies in last weeks v3.40.

Download here

I'm not doing the website or mailing list, but I still have to approve the design along the way.

I'm supposed to be signing off on look and feel today.

Unfortunately, I'm the only one that can write the manual. The good news is that a large percentage will be cut and paste from the GF manual.
