Ballistic calibration on the Civilian version (or the available to all version). Also I am including some other features. All the features I showed you in AB Tactical can be found in AB. The only difference is AB Tactical is designed to be streamlined, and much quicker. You can still do it in the standard version as I will show you now. Also please keep in mind, I took these before I linked up with the kestrel, so the atmosphere had not been corrected yet.
Once you have a completed weapons profile, and bullet profile you will be brought to the environment screen. It should look like this:
At the bottom of this screen you can see two buttons. One says single shot, one says trajectory. You will also find a menu here that looks like this:
First I would like to talk about this menu and some of the things you can do here. These options are brought up by pressing your phones unique menu button. First off, get target azimuth. If your phone has a good compass in it like the Galaxy S4 and S5 do. You can simply point the phone at the target, and capture target direction. The same goes for get look angle. This will set the targets inclination to you. Station atmosphere allows you to get weather from a nearby weather station. However another option it says is Atmosphere from device. Some devices like the Galaxy S4 and S5 have built in temp, humidity and pressure. For those who aren't running a kestrel, or just need a quick temp adjustment you can use this, I will post a photo below that shows the options that pop up when you select it. Another option is calculate distance. You can actually set the target size in the reticle, and it will help you determine the size of the target. Here are screen shots of these last two options:
These two photos show the atmosphere from device, and the calculate distance options.
Now lets go in to ballistics calibration. If you were to choose the single shot screen it would bring up a screen that says HUD and Reticle. When you in this screen you need to use your phones menu button. Mine happens to be outside of the on screen display next to the home button. When you press your phones menu button it brings up this:
You can see you have an option for ballistic calibration. If you push that button you get this:
That's your ballistic calibration function on the standard AB program. The other way to do this is to press trajectory. Which brings up a range table, reticle and graph screen. If you stay on the range table screen and push menu you can also bring up the ballistics calibration table here:
Once you have gotten the numbers you needed to calibrate your own shots (it really helps to have a chronograph but you don't have to have one) you then select run, and it will adjust your table to your own specific calibration.
This is the second place where you can customize the ballistics of your round. Now you also have other options on the other screens such as this compare with function that allows you to compare the flight path of up to 6 rounds:
I did this in hopes of showing you guys that these features can be found on the AB standard model in google play. Just please make sure to remember you will need to find your individual phones menu button. Some phones have this on screen, other phones have it outside the screen next to the home button. Also to get to ballistic calibration you need to be inside the weapon profile, and have already selected and set up your round. Hopefully this helps.
