Hi,

I'm looking to give Aerolab some much needed updates, it hasn't really been touched in over 5 years and it shows. With some of the new devices coming out around real time CdA and improved data (altitude, airspeed, denisty et al) its time to give it some love. So looking for some ideas, I'm also speaking to most of the "usual suspects" about this.

So far the big things to work on are:

Working with Runs/Laps not entire Ride (view, fit, tag, compare etc)
Enhance solver - use LM and allow some constraints etc
Support sample by sample data from newer "aero" devices; airspeed, density, yaw, compensated/finer grained alt, device provided CdA estimates )
Adjust to typical workflow; consider session, equipment and position related parameters/estimates

The smaller stuff includes:

zoom y axis, remove elevation constraint, modernise the ui to reflect rest of gc (e.g. ride plot)
adjust Rho for altitude, temp compensation for tyres/tyre type

Any other ideas for improvements?

Mark

Great!

Currently (3.4), rho changes for all dates. eg if I had determined and entered rho 3mths ago and enter it for today’s weather, today’s and 3 mths ago (and any other date) will have today’s rho.

If you press save parameters it is recorded in the ride file.

The other Aerolab thread made me wonder about the 2.0 progress. Everything Mark listed there would be amazing. I’d be especially interested in being able to integrate air speed measurements such as from the CDACrr app. Just curious. I’d be happy to report on how it works with my data.

Thanks,
Will

On the MacOSX version... the sliders are difficult to micro adjust.... it would be nice if along with the slider, there were arrows beside the number to incrementally adjust the number selected.

cheers

Currently you could use the keyboard interfase of the sliders to micro adjust: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qslider.html#details

Thx Ale, I'm using OSX10.15, GC 3.5 on a newish macBook Pro

I can't get the tick object to work — I'm using the left-right arrow keys.... (this may have nothing to do with the issue,... its been a long while. but I seem to recall issues calling C++ objects in an Objective C environment. — they didn't compile properly)
