UPDATE: Allrighty couple of big updates.

Had to make another correction to my psi values for sea level. Greg from Redshift was the first to point out that I had forgotten to recalculate the psi values for the various pressure ratios. The second time round I didn't look at my notes from when I first did the calculations so I just guessed and I was a little off on the equation. All corrected now though. The values only differed by ~ 1 psi.

Next big change is that I have uploaded my excel file for this project to a mirror and provided a link. It is currently being stored at FileDen (setting up that account was a PITA), all images are stored at PhotoBucket. FileDen allows a monthly bandwidth of 50GB which is more than enough for now.

I'm refraining from hosting anything on my home server for bandwidth, availability, and security reasons. Mostly security reasons though, I'm a bit of a network security freak and my home OpenBSD server actually runs VPNs for myself and friends.

Coming up:
I'm going to add a detailed how-to for using the excel file to generate your own maps.

I've got the process as simple as possible. It only uses Microsoft Excel and Paint. (Easy huh?) I want this to be something everyone can use regardless of skill or resources.

I'm a huge supporter of the FSF (Free Sofware Foundation) if you can't tell. Anyone who wants instructions for use with the OpenOffice.org suite I can provide those as well.
