Re: OSTC4 – besserer Briefbeschwerer?!

Die drei Balken sind die Tastensperre. Man muss den entsprechenden Knopf unter/über dem Balken drücken, dann ist der wieder entsperrt. musste ich auch erst lernen.

Ps. Finde das aber super. Habe mir mal vorher durch das Berühren beim Anziehen, etc das Gasgemisch beim start komplett verstellt

Re: Sat/desat factors versus GF factors

HW has a create brochure about "Gradient factors in the OSTC" - i fear only available in german. And the sat/desat factors are also explained there.

@HW: that screams for an english translation ;)

I can only agree on that. Yesterday (finally) in the Lake of Constance. Firmware works great, new page in the logbook is interesting. And yes, i like the enhanced time before the OSTC goes to sleep now!

Great job.

With a simulated dive to 100m the screen ended up with some "garbage" in the upper left corner after the depth changed from xx.x to yyy. See attached picture from ascend..

Re: TTS is adding Safety Stop (3')

I also think this is a valuable information and reminds you, that a slower final ascend to the surface is better. So i would leave it like it is.

(And if you get a lot of questions about this, it also means that people realize it and don’t unterstand it , but start thinking about this)
