Little tool to help you measure climb in any sim....

[fd ski]

Well, kinda..  
I was testing climb on some of the WB planes and found it to be a total pain in the bellybutton to sit there with the watch, record the times.. put them in excel.. blah blah blah..

So, i wrote this little thing..
( I'm a toejamty programmer, but it should work )

What it does ?
You specify what range of altitude you want to test. For example you're testing FW 190 climb at 160 mph. You specify the starting altitude, ending altitude and the intervals for test. SO let's say we're testing from 1000 ft to 20000 ft every 1000ft. All you have to do is click the button every time the plane passes given alt ( you will be promted for proper alt) and altitude and time is recorded in the text file specified ( which will be opened for you in the note pad later
)

Unfortunatelly it requires the second computer. If any of you VB programming gurus can tell me how to make it run in teh background waiting for predefined keystroke - i can make a version that runs on the same computer as WB.. for now - you need second PC ;(

Let me know what you think. It's at

"A required .DLL file, MSVBVM60.DLL was not found"

Looks like one would also need MS VB on the second PC as well.

Could we have the source code??

Oh hell,  i did that in VB6. It's DLL's are not very common in 95 systems and some 98's.. darn..

Send me an e-mail ( fd-ski@warbirds.org ) if you really want to see the code..

I'll see if i can recompile it with VB5..
