Have you seen the new Kite forge tutorials yet?
In partnership with John Barresi, we’ve been creating English and French subtitles for a few weeks now. These subtitles are currently available for 4 tutorials:
We’re preparing subtitles for the remaining tutorials. We’ll soon be making a page dedicated to these tutorials, with a few embedded videos.
Enjoy!
We’ve redesigned the Jst-4-fn course to learn team flying. We’ve added more than 50 team-flying animations. You can now learn over 90 maneuvers! We’ve organized them into 5 sections:
Enjoy!
QuadKites.org is now officially available in English! From now on, you can read our content in English without an automatic translator. We did the translations with Deepl, a customized kite glossary and a lot of proofreading. This English version was very important to us, as around 60% of our visitors are non-French speakers!
We’ve disabled the built-in automatic translator. You can translate our pages using your browser or a translator.
We hope you enjoy the English version! Send us your comments and suggestions.
Enjoy your visit!
We’re preparing some great new features, and they’re already available. We’re continuing to improve them before making them official:
1. Our website will be available in two languages: French and English. This new English version is almost ready. We are actively translating all website content. The aim is to offer a version of better quality than the automatic translation by Google. It’s already available, albeit incompletely at the moment.
We plan to disable automatic translation. You’ll be able to use browser-native translation if you need to.
2. We’ve almost finished a new version of the Jst-4-Fn pages. This time, you’ll be able to discover over 90 animated maneuvers to help you learn how to fly on horseback!
We hope to stabilize and formalize these 2 new features soon! We’ll keep you posted. Have a great vacation!
We’re proud to add 3 courses for learning to fly:
These courses took us many hours to document. We hope you enjoy them!
Enjoy the flight!
We have corrected a few team flying maneuvers: Zip out, zip in and u-turn. They are available among the Jst-4-Fn maneuvers.
Thanks to the kite flyers who shared their mistakes with us!
I’ve just updated the KiteShow simulator. The leader tended to say the name of the maneuver and “Go” at the same time. Corrected!
It’s been 14 months since I last touched the simulator’s source code! I hope to add new maneuvers soon.
If you see a bug, please let me know. Have a good flight!
