Thank you, glad you like the video. The Diva 2 is a game changer in my opinion. The wing has incredible performance with very high passive safety. It offers both usable speed and performance, making it easy to fly at full speed bar. I've done quite a lot of SIV/Acro practice with this wing before going to India to test its limits and characteristics. This helped a lot. I think BGD has created something very special here.
Thank you, glad you like them. As I have not looked into any type of automatization on this aspect, I am doing it manually. A bit of old-school way, frame by frame, similar how they used to make animations on paper. It's a screen grab of the frame I want to use for explanation, then throw that into a photo editing software, add a layer, draw the lines, save the layer as a new image with transparent background, then start deleting some section of the line save the file as 99 then delete some more save as 98 till you deleted it all. Then add these into video editing software, base layer is the map, another layer for the frame by frame animation. It goes quite quick for me as I'm used to doing it by now. I haven't found a better way to be as detailed as I would like it to be when it comes to explaining valley systems.
@@FlyingKarlis thank you so much for all your effort editing that with your hand and sharing it to help the community! Great visualisation of the airflow
Thankk you, I was quite pleased with this flight. It's my first 200km flight during which I didn't make any strategic mistakes, that sure helped for the avarage speed. Diva 2 also helped a lot as this wing has a lot of usable speed. Glad you liked the video.
That's quite possible, there where quite a lot of pilots flying long distances that day. Here's the link to XContest - www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Flying_Karlis/24.10.2024/04:54
I'm glad you find it useful the knowleage in this video. I have not found a better camera for filming long format videos while flying a paragliders, if you have any suggestion, I'm all ears.
@FlyingKarlis The camera is perfect 👌..you can simply zoom in a bit to flatten the frame. We can then focus on what's in front of your risers (just like a pilot does when flying). I mean...it's all a matter of taste. I bet there are some who like the fisheye..but for me it is not a human perspective (hence the name) and serves the purpose of a novelty rather than a storytelling tool. Don't let it distract you from posting more 🤜🤛
Really great explanations and animations - excellent learning value, thank you!
Glad you like it!
so many pilots above and below at 1:00 i somehow didnt think it was that crowded. and wow, a 23km glide is just sick
Yeah, it get's even busier than that when the days are more stable. That glide sure was something special.
Nice video! Good mix of 3D animation and video with the voiceover.
How are you finding the Diva 2?
Thank you, glad you like the video.

Really like the valley airflow animations, curious how you created those.

@FlyingKarlis wow that's a lot of work. It does come out great though.
Sure is, glad you like the final result.

Great visualisation of the airflow
A great video and flight . Thanks for sharing it
Glad you enjoyed it, Bir this year was a bit tricky, but did deliver one of the better days in reacent years.
what a nice flight congrats a impressive average speed considering that you face head wind in many parts!!!! thanks for sharing

Hi, where did you mount your camera ?
The camera is mounted on the flight deck, with a little extension.
Great day out ❤
Sure was, with some stunning views!
Hi..
From bir billing
Bir sure is a beautiful palce to fly.
Maybe I also did same day fly with you 200km..
I was in white zeno last glide to landing side
That's quite possible, there where quite a lot of pilots flying long distances that day. Here's the link to XContest - www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Flying_Karlis/24.10.2024/04:54
Great and educational video...but please do not use so much of the fisheye perspective (that distortion is taking away from the experience)
I'm glad you find it useful the knowleage in this video.
