David Webb General MemberMade some adjustments, by request – no more fill on the wind speed/direction, darker gust line, etc.
David Webb General MemberI’m a fan of the new model, old format (just my noob opinion).
I like that the new format shows more information, but kinda like the “lower fidelity” of the old – makes it super easy to see the differences as there are fewer colors to mentally process.
David Webb General MemberCopy that – will try out a few more adjustments early next week.
David Webb General MemberKudos for the self-report! 👍
David Webb General MemberThat’s fair. Dark wind speed fill has been swapped out for something lighter, and a few other small adjustments have been made. Let me know what you think.
David Webb General MemberThanks for setting that up, Nacho. You da man!
David Webb General MemberWe took a picture when it showed up:

David Webb General MemberUsing the KMZ file from Dan, in addition to the master KMZ with all of the local waypoints, here’s the path of the Ziggy. Notice the shadow on the ground – looks like it goes right between Billboard and Crestline launch.

David Webb General MemberThere are other methods, but one simple way is to download Google Earth:

You can import kmz files directly into that.
David Webb General MemberA wise man in orange once told me “don’t linger at 8k over Crestline.” Looks like that advice holds water.
David Webb General MemberThanks for the great photo!
David Webb General MemberAlan – looks like we have a very-scientific sample size of 3 over here, in addition to the Marshall weather station data from yesterday. Perhaps we can build up several of these comparisons to see which one holds up better for this location.
David Webb General MemberSky gods were kind to me most of the day as well.
Uber & fly from Crestline at 9:25. Plenty of lift to be had on the way down the 750 spine. Got in a fun 45 minute flight, with plenty of time to spare for lunch.
Launched from Marshall just before 2 in front of Jerome. Got tossed around a bit throughout the flight, but the thermals were tall and plentiful. Went just west of Pine (uncharted territory for me) – looked like Jerome was almost to the pass before I turned around. I topped out at 6700′ with a 3:45 flight.
Was fun flying with you all.
David Webb General MemberMetric by force! We need to enter the modern age and start counting by tens :D
David Webb General MemberCongrats on the upcoming new life!
