  • 2024 edition
  • New 2024 waterski and disabled dossier
  • Waterski jump course tolerances based on 15st-15mt X-axis and 15mt Y-axis
  • Waterski slalom course: possibility to input gate cameras sighting height to measure vertical angle
  • Cableski trick course: T2 tolerances changed to 29m - 36m
2023
04/11/2023 2023.04
  • Setting file for theodolite TS07 added (thanks to Rodger L.)
02/08/2023 2023.03b
  • PDF library updated
10/04/2023 2023.02d
  • 8 buoys slalom course :
    - Correction for boat guide buoys averages:
    now made from same center line, based on outer gates.
    - Possibility to calculate, check and display the 8 buoys course as well as both contained 6 buoys courses.

    - IMPORTANT: the axis (center line) of a 8 buoys course is taken as the middle of outer gates G1/G2 and G7/G8.

    The actual IWWF rule concerns only 6 buoys slalom course.
    The program can now check if both 6 buoys courses contained in the 8 buoys course are in IWWF rule tolerances.

  • Waterski and Disabled:
    - contains the new 2023 homologation dossier (updated)
25/01/2023 2023.00a
  • All jump courses:
    - In absence of ramp corners survey, the origin of all measurements is taken from ramp center, instead of middle of ramp corners.
  • Video jump box: 8 more buoys added (A to P) to be used if needed.
  • Cableski : new 2023 course
    - G3 and G4 exit gate buoys are back (only one needed depending on cable direction counterclockwise or clockwise)
    - T1 and T2 trick exit gate (also only one needed)
    - Homologation dossier updated with unified ramp size
  • Bug fixes and minor changes
2022
05/11/2022 2022.05b
  • Waterski Jump course:
    - New survey point "R-Shore mark" added, which is the point on the shore that lines up with the front of the ramp. Ramp Angle is measured.
  • Bug correction: ramp corners were vertically inverted in video jump box sketches when the jump direction is inverted.
  • Waterski: site code table updated
08/06/2022 2022.04c
  • Waterski Slalom course:
    - Judge tower survey point names "Tr1/2" changed to "Gate cam 1/2"
    - End course cameras point names "Cam1/2" changed to "End cam 1/2"
  • All jump courses :
    - Ramp R1, R2, R point names changed to
    "R1-Outer", "R2-Inner" and "R-Center"
  • Survey date and time set when reading data through the rs232c interface or importing a GPS csv data file
23/05/2022 2022.03b
  • Waterski jump course: change BPMS check list to 180m buoy (IWWF rule v2)
09/05/2022 2022.03
  • Polar survey with prismless theodolite :

    New "sighting height" value which represent the sighting height above water (above he middle of the buoy) to survey a spherical buoy.
    The radius of the spherical buoy at sighting height will be added to the polar distance, for increased accuracy.
    Default value is 5cm, which is about half the part of the buoy above the water.
    Radius at sighting height = SQR_ROOT(BuoyDiameter²/4 - SightingHeight²)
    Exemple:
    - 20cm skier buoy measured at 5cm above the middle of buoy :
    8,66cm instead of 10cm wil be added to polar distance.
    - 22cm guide buoy measured at 5cm above the middle of buoy :
    9.80cm instead of 11cm wil be added to polar distance.

    For cylindrical buoys, leave the field empty, as the buoy radius should always be fully added.

  • New buttons to set gate/skier/guide buoys shape (sphere or cylinder) and diameter at once.
