Re: Ballistic FTE Support SUCKS

You guys are right, I should get off my soap box. It just pisses me of when one spends money on something, especially a good tool like Ballistic FTE and when you want a couple of questions answered you don't get a replay.
Anyway, enough whining on my part.
Here are my questions. I read the document that goes with the app.
1. In the settings under Ballistic computer you can chose Ballistic or JBM, what's the difference/preferred? <span style="color: #FF0000">Its asking which ballistic engine to use, most use JBM.</span>
2. Under weather service, you have 2 choices, NOAA and GeoNames. What's more accurate? I tried both and got very different results. I use NOAA.<span style="color: #FF0000">Do you own a Kestrel? If not, use either. My results do not change using one or the other.</span>
3. You have 2 weather conditions the app. uses to compute the results, zero weather and current wx. which is the app using, is it a combination?<span style="color: #FF0000">The atmosphere at which you zeroed the rifle at. When this is disabled (default), no corrections are made to account for this.</span>
<span style="color: #FF0000">The current weather is just that, the climate and altitude you are shooting at.</span>
4. Last, what is the absolute pressure?<span style="color: #FF0000">The total pressure exerted on a system, equal to the gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure</span> and read this article: <span style="color: #FF0000">
http://www.arcanamavens.com/LBSFiles/Shooting/Downloads/Baro/</span><span style="color: #FF0000">Basically, click to make pressure absolute, then enter data from Kestrel, altitude will remain zero. Which is what you want. Be sure to setup Kestrel as Lindy states</span>
thanks guys.
