A new Fill Calculator tab in the dashboard, next to Skew-T + Plots.

  • SondeHub-style horizontal layout, themed to the dashboard.
  • Own physics: gas buoyancy vs. aerodynamic drag with an ISA standard atmosphere.
  • Manufacturer balloon lookup (Kaymont/Totex, Hwoyee, Pawan, latex, custom) and four lift gases.
  • Payload-train preset (PTHSonde 80 g) or custom payload.
  • Aim for a target ascent rate or a target burst altitude — the other is calculated.
  • Send to Flight Predictor carries the numbers to the map landing predictor.

Flight predictor

  • Launch elevation now defaults to 0 m.

Dashboard polish

  • App-wide themed thin scrollbars; winds-aloft table no longer has a nested scrollbar.

    ground station, dashboard, flight predictor, balloon fill, launch, in-flight operations,
