Skydiving Formation Planner V4.51 (click HERE to run)

When I started jumping back in 87, there was two ways in which to plan a formation skydive. One was to sit down with pen and paper and draw little stick characters, that would more often than not end up all different sizes with super long arms the further away from the base you got (still doing that today;) The other method was to use a Magnetic Skydiving Board, which as the names suggests was a metal board painted blue with little red and white skydivers cut from flexible magnetic plastic that you could push around. I'm not actually sure what these were called on the packet, so until someone lets me know I'll go with Magnetic Skydiving Board.

They have stopped making these Magnetic boards a long time ago and I never managed to get hold of one although I still hope to find one some day. In the mean time I thought I would have ago at making one or at least a virtual one. As with most of my app's they are work in progress and if you wish to make any suggestions then please feel free to contact me. If you need a bigger version say for a 200-way, 300-way etc then let me know.

This should work with all OS's and Browsers please read the Help file on every update, latest change is to use the 'D' key instead of 'Ctrl' as this caused issue's with Opera. If you want to save the formation as a JPG or PDF etc then try this little app, click HERE. The application requires Flash Player 8 or higher. Please do not copy this file for others and if you wish to link to the app then please only link to this holding page www.strollerweb.co.uk/apps.php. You can also download this Application from the 'Downloads' page

Windows 2000, XP and Vista only!
(Do NOT install on windows 95/98)

Well thanks to all the people that got back to me about this project, I have now incorporated some of your ideas in Version 3. The main changes apart from the colour change are you can now edit the text on each block and random, this means you can delete all my 'dyslexic' ramblings and add what ever you want.

A further plan to this will be the ability to have more than one note sets available. This would enable each team member to write their own specific notes and select them as required and of course it would give you the opportunity to swap with other teams etc. I have also added the exit line up, this opens as a small window which can be dragged around the screen as required. The best screen resolution for this program is 1024 x 768 and above.

If the program fails during the install, go to 'Add and Remove Programs' and run the Remove option (if necessary) before trying again. Re-installing the latest Flash player can fix animation issues. Download the Application HERE and the help file HERE
