The BlackBerry Ballistics program uses some of the GunSim code, so this allows a price reduction in the GunSim Desktop Ballistics Program.
The BlackBerry program is about 60k plus about 100k of data, the desktop program is about 1,200k. The mobile program concentrates on practical field use, the desktop program is more about playing around on the virtual firing range.
The Java BlackBerry program should work on other mobile devices, so I'll look into other machines to run it on.
For me it is tremendously interesting and satisfying to make the software, it is great to know that other people enjoy it too.
Thanks for your support!

GunSim Desktop has custom Moa And Mils now
The desktop program can have mildot reticles with 1/4 Moa clicks. So now you can duplicate your 1/4 Moa clicks not really being 1/4 Moa, and your MilDots not really being 1 Mil.
Too Much Information perhaps, but there it is.

Custom scope click size
The new BlackBerry Ballistics app has custom scope click size. Why?
"The truth is many scopes can have up to +/- 10% or more error when you actually adjust the scopes. In other words, when you move your scope 60 clicks, it may actually be moving the crosshairs 54 or 66 clicks. You can set up a 'tall target' at 100 yards. Shoot a group at your 100 yard zero then move the scope up 60 clicks and see if it moves the POI precisely 20 MOA or if it's more or less than that." -Bryan Litz.
You can put the rifle in a vice and do it visually, without shooting too. 10" target at 95.5 yards is 40 clicks.
Most scopes are supposed to be 1/4 MOA, 1/4" clicks at 95.5 yards. So your scope clicks are .25 MOA.
But some are 1/4" at 100 yards, which is easier to work with. So your scope clicks are 0.238777 MOA per click.
