[QUOTE="Sami, post: 613915, member: 40444"] One of the items I could see being a difference is the "sample rate". What it means is that you will have to pick how often (at what interval) the change in velocity (and drop and drift) is calculated. If you do this at different rates then you will have different answers. Easiest way to explain it probably is taking interest calculation as an example. If I loan someone money, would it be best for me to add up interest to the principal every day, every month or just once a year? Every day of course because next day I would be getting interest on the interest. Same applies to ballistic calculation as well. If one knows a little about programming, here is an open source ballistic program that you can download and play with the code: [URL]http://sourceforge.net/projects/balcomp/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
