Need Advice on Ballistic Software

[tlk]

Trying to get a friends Ballistic setup for one load - FGMM69 gr .224 @ 2640 fps. When I use the latest version it has no path or wind in total inches on the HUD. My old iPhone version has this. Where did it go, and can I get it on the new?

Also, I have entered the wind as coming FROM the 3:00 at 450 yards -both versions are showing to hold LEFT. I just want to confirm - the wind should be understood and entered as blowing TO the 3:00, correct?

REALLY need the path in total inches like before - his scope has no increments within the reticle.

Thanks.

If the wind is coming fom 3.00 oclock to 9.00 oclock then it's a RIGHT hold to defeat the wind.

If the setting is wind too 3.00 oclock , then the left hold is correct . If the progarm is coded correctly .

Play around with the wind direction setting untill you get the correct hold off direction showing up . I had Ballistic AE and it's wind direction was always wrong in the one I had . I had to set it wrong to get it correct in the HUD .
Other than that I can't help as I have no idea which program you are refering too.

I am using Ballistic AE. That is the same issue I am running into as well - the wind call seems exactly backward to me. When I compare it to the older version on another iPhone it does not indicate L or R, so I always just did the direction in my head no problem.

For the rest of you, do I have something set up incorrectly or is it just in my head? I even went and researched wind direction - it is identified by the direction it is coming FROM (at least according to Wikipedia), so Ballistic should be telling me to hold RIGHT for a 3:00 wind, but it is telling me to hold LEFT. My saved profile doesn't have wind - I have it set at 0. I also notice that I don't have any wind in my trajectory chart.

And I still need the latest version to calculate total inches of holdover - does it to this? Older versions were very intuitive.

All this has to be a setup issue of some kind.

Thanks for your help.

In Ballistic AE there is a setting that says Positive is right or left . I think I had to set that wrong to get the wind hold off direction correct . It's in the program settings of the device not the data entry part of the app.
Anyway my advice is dump BAE and get Shooter .

Can you be specific? Why Shooter over Ballistic AE?

Can you be specific? Why Shooter over Ballistic AE?

For the reasons above and it just seems to work better and easier to understand . B AE started out ok but constant updates have made it complicated and difficult and not the program I purchased .
My Zidiarsky the developer is difficult to deal with for support purposes.
A ballistic program to use in the field shoud be easy to see and use as you don't have a lot of time to muck about . B AE failed in that area.
Shooter works better in that area and it's wind correction is right .
