Hey Everybody,



After almost 2 years of development the program is finally

presentable.  The BoomSmith program is packed in a zip file less than

1 MB and has been uploaded to the Programs folder in the Files section.



Play with it and let me know what you think.

If the graphs don't make sense at least you can store tuning

information in the .bsm boomerang model files.

Hasse and Jimmy,



Thanks for the reply, Sorry it took so long for me to respond.  You

asked me for a manual for BoomSmith.  I plan to add lots of

information to the Help menu, but for now I just uploaded a Readme.rtf

file to the Programs folder in the Files section.



The Readme file has instructions for installation, getting started,

How to interpret the plots and How it works.



Let me know how it goes.

Andrew

Hey Everybody,

After almost 2 years of development the program is finally
presentable. The BoomSmith program is packed in a zip file less than
1 MB and has been uploaded to the Programs folder in the Files section.

Play with it and let me know what you think.
If the graphs don't make sense at least you can store tuning
information in the .bsm boomerang model files.

     Hi Andrew!





        I just downloaded Boomsmith 1.0 today. I couldn't open the

readme file before but now I can with MS Wordpad. It's all very

interesting. I was playing with it but I don't quite understand how to

navigate it yet.



     I was wondering if anyone else here has been using this program

and if it can be discussed a little bit. I want to learn how to use it

better. Andrew, maybe you or another member can start out with some

basic tutorial discussion, maybe using a 6mm birch traditional shape

for an example to help us grasp the controls better.



      I've heard of a number of boomerang design softwares during the

years that I've been online, but I never could really use or

understand them. So far this is as close as I've gotten to be able to

use them. Thanks so much for this very intelligent contribution to our

sport and hobby :)



      If anyone here can suggest some other useful boomerang design

software and how to use it, please do. I'm very curious to learn more

about all this. Thank you to all you smart guys who are trying to

share this with us brain-dead americans haha! :)

     P.S. By the way Andrew, I'm just guessing that you're not from The

States. Where are you from actually? Your new program really is very

impressive.

Hey John



The help menu does have some notes and how-to information to get you

started(If you downloaded everything just this week).  This program is

new enough that there is not a large library of examples yet.  Two

examples are in the zip file itself including the Voyager which just

has a guess at how it is really tuned.



If you have any specific questions or suggestions for features let me

know.



My suggestion to anyone that wants to play with BoomSmith is to start

with a picture of your favorite boomerang.  Trace it in the program

and make the foils match your boom the best you can. Then post the

models on this site for all to discuss.



Thanks for your support John!!!
