## What is Glidiator?

Glidiator is a glide calculator for hike&fly paragliding, wingsuit/tracking and slick BASE jumping.

The idea behind this tool is to provide you with data about landing zone reachability based on your flight properties.

Every flight mode has its own properties with a common one, the glide. Depending on your flight mode, it will be the glide of either your paragliding wing, wingsuit or BASE canopy. In addition, wingsuit and slick BASE jumping include a few extra properties to define the flight. In the case of wingsuit BASE jumping: Hit the Line (HTL) and Deployment Altitude. In the case of slick BASE jumping: Freefall Altitude.

IMPORTANT: The theoretical calculations of this app work under the following assumptions:
1. We do not take into account any air condition, so no winds, no thermals, etc.
2. We consider your wing flying with the set constant glide ratio, even if you are turning, breaking, accelerating or flaring.
3. Rockdrop is not being taken into account for BASE jumping modes. The tool only calculates flyable possibilities either when you are already under canopy (slick BASE jumping) or when you are already at full glide (you already hit the line) with your suit. This is NOT a rockdrop calculator tool and the app will tell you that even a Heidi-grassy-positive slope is jumpable if conditions to fly until the landing are met. If you need a rockdrop calculator tool, we recommend you to download the "FlySafe BASE Jumping" iOS app.

This is a non-profit app. The app is using Maps from Apple and so needs data connectivity to properly update the map. The elevation model is properly cached in an offline way though. Special thanks to hikeandfly.org for the original idea, to inncoder.com for the inspiration and to bailu.ch and usgs.gov for the elevation model resources. More accurate tools and especially common sense will be always needed on top of this app.

It’s exactly what’s we need for paragliding and base jumping

## Frequently asked questions about Glidiator

### What is Glidiator used for?

Glidiator is a glide calculator designed for hike&fly paragliding and wingsuit/tracking BASE jumping. It helps users determine landing zone reachability based on their flight properties.

### Does Glidiator account for wind or thermals?

No, Glidiator's theoretical calculations do not take into account any air conditions such as winds or thermals. It assumes a constant glide ratio for all flight modes.

### Is Glidiator a rockdrop calculator?

No, Glidiator is not a rockdrop calculator. It calculates flyable possibilities when you are already under canopy or at full glide. For rockdrop calculations, users are recommended to download the 'FlySafe BASE Jumping' iOS app.

### What flight modes does Glidiator support?

Glidiator supports paragliding, wingsuit BASE jumping, and slick BASE jumping. Each mode has specific properties that define the flight.

### Does Glidiator require an internet connection?

Yes, Glidiator uses Maps from Apple and requires data connectivity to properly update the map. However, the elevation model is cached offline.

### What devices is Glidiator available on?

Glidiator is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It is compatible with iOS devices.

### When was Glidiator last updated?

Glidiator was last updated on April 23, 2023, with version 3.0. This indicates ongoing development and support for the application.

### What is the age rating for Glidiator?

Glidiator has an age rating of 4+. This suggests it is suitable for a wide range of users, though its practical use is for experienced pilots.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 3.0 — 2023-04-23

We added the possibility to set a "flying altitude" to your paragliding calculations! You can set it to 0 meters and calculations will be made as if you were launching from the ground (as it was on previous versions), but set it to a positive amount of meters to simulate you are flying above the ground at that point so you can use now Glidiator for XC glide calculations too!

### 2.0 — 2020-12-13

We are back with our most requested feature finally here! Zooming has been enabled. You can now zoom in and zoom out for a better understanding of your flight plan!
On top of that, more glide values have been added to the different flight modes (so speed-riding and speed-flying categories can also fit in the calculations) and last but not least, some minor UI improvements have been made and a few minor bugs have been solved too. Enjoy!

### 1.1 — 2020-12-03

No release notes.
