Hi all, Some suggestions after my comparison attempts against GUE Decoplanner 3.14. In the past I used GAP and Vplanner.
I tried to use the graphical part moving points and so on but it was painful. For the sake of speed I prefer using a simple and effective data entry. BTW it's nice that the profile and dive plan update immeditaely as I enter/modify data. #1 I don't want to insert the first point: it should automagically appear because in the planner preferences I set a descent rate m/Min (20m/min by default). It seems to me that Anton filed a patch for something like this... #2 By default I have just to insert depth and time. By default dive time is always comprised of descent time. Sometime you find the "finesse" to exclude/include it but it's unnecessary IMHO. #3 If you have to plan a mutilevel dive you can add more depth/time points. #4 for each point you define a gas mix. #5 On my build SS added all the mix it found on my dive :) Maybe I'm wrong but I did not understood its behavior. For the sake of plan speed it would be nice if SS could automagically select the best mix for me from a standard gas set (no flame intended: I'm a GUE diver). Maybe PO2 <=1.2 on the bottom and END <=30m could be an agreement or we could set them on a mix preferences page. #6 I like that it choose my deco gas by default with a default switch depth. Maybe it's a mistake but it suggest 18m instead of 21m for EAN50. #7 dive plain details text box should be a table or somethig which permits a better formatting. BTW Decoplanner has a table but it doesn't permit to copy and paste nicely the plan on a email. #8 on the dive plain it would be nice having a total deco time with indication of deepest deco stop. -- Davide
