A new MultiDeco and V-Planner is ready now:
- Max time planning - get a plan based on available gas supply, including bailout.
- Gas density values - per Simon Mitchell request.
- Improved supersaturation graphs
- Advanced - build your own ZHL model - set A/B and cell times to experiment.
NOTE : PC ready now... Mac next week. iOS and Android soon after

Hi, when I use Max Time it is shortening my planned times. Is the standard in Max Time to use Rule of Thirds from available gas or how is it deciding to shorten and is this adjustable for the Max Time feature?
Thank you!
Clayton
The max time plan does not use thirds or keep any other reserve gas. It plans to use every last drop of gas, and shortens/ lengthens the plan until the first tank runs dry.
The max time planning is more about for bailout, or last resort planning. But with some fiddling the available mix volumes, it will do thirds or what amount you decide to keep hidden away from the calculations. To keep reserves in place, reduce the "available" gas it has to calculate with.

Hello Ross, How does one convert V-planner over to MultiDeco. I read that it can be done, but I am unclear on the process. Thanks!The Android versions are now updated with the Max time planning, and give gas density info too. Google play should delivery these to you. v1.29 / v2.19
Next to come is the iOS versions.
