KiteSim
About
KiteSim is an 3D interactive simulation of a LEI traction kite, the type of kite most often used for kite surfing.You can use this program to learn how to fly a kite, practice making loops, or try out different water launching techniques without worrying about untangling your strings later. The kite is controlled by the mouse, which moves the on-screen control bar and chicken loop. Other features include kite force, wind speed and kite speed indicators and wind speed and line length controls.
Features
- steer the kite by moving the control bar with a mouse
- adjust the chicken loop to depower the kite
- change line length, wind speed and gustiness parameters
- modify background scenery and kite design
- simulate launching and problems such as crossed lines
- monitor kite force and speed
Requirements
Windows 98 or later operating system
Intel Pentium III 400MHz or faster processor
Integrated 3D Graphics or better
64 MB of RAM
at least 5 MB of available hard disk space
