Besides some minor fixes (e.g. in the alternative Layout (aka "Blind mode" ) there are the following bugs fixed which still were in the 2.95beta:
BUGFIX: use ppN2 and ppHe during bailout correctly
BUGFIX: Fix decotype in Logbook
NEW: Internal support for (another) small hardware change (New compass circuity)
How to install this firmware onto your OSTC? Check this link:

In the alternative view, the ascent rate graph gets blacked out on right side every few seconds.

Hi,
are you using the latest beta (2.96)? According to the repository comments, graphical VSI schould have been deactivated lately in alternative view. Anyhow, that's Matthias' code...

But thanks for the info!

Hallo Matthias
Habe mir die 2.96 Beta zum Testen heruntergeladen (OSTC+ Tech #15717) und wollte mir unter anderen auch den "Blindenmodus" ansehen. Wie schaltet man den Blindenmodus bitte ein???

Hallo Mario,
Im Tauchmodus bzw. Simulator linken Taster drücken bis "Layout" kommt, dann mit rechter Taste auswählen.
Viele Grüße
Ralph

Evolutions Proposals for OSTC v2.97
Hi Matthias,
Following v2.97 beta, you will find below my proposals,
Surface screen and OC Gas List :
- On v2.97 beta, I don't see the improvement of color for inactive gases, the ideal color would be such that the acronym "OSTC"
or the letters in front of the gases: T: Travel Gas; F: Bottom Gas; D: Deco Gas; -: Inactive Gas; ...
If this blue is possible for the symbol "OSTC" then it must be possible for Inactive gases and HWOS!
For a Tek diver: *: First Gas > doesn't really make sense, In diving Tek, we start the dive either with T: Travel Gas l or directly with F: Bottom Gas (First Gas: what is it? Gas used First, maybe the Travel Gas or Bottom Gas! In Diving Tek we uses 3 Gases, Travel, Bottom, Deco, why not call them like that and why give a fourth name?
Next screens:
- For a faster return to the surface screen with less buttons support, it would be better to have the return line at the top of each screen as on screen "Menu Raz" for example,
Deco Mode:
From a scientific point of view the pressure of O2, N2 or other is noted pO2, pN2 ... it's necessarily partial in a mix, so it's not accurate to note it ppO2, ppN2, it's just a bad habit in the diving world,
In the same way for the% gases we note fO2, fN2 and not fpO2, fpN2 for a pseudo partial fraction of a gas ...
So all ppO2 and ppN2 in HWOS can be replaced by pO2 and pN2 ...
> Mode: "Gauge" is Ok for a French diver
> pO2 Setting ... evoked above ...
Hoping to help ...
Regards
