Maybe. On one hand, yes controlling altitude will provide better results. One quirk of balloons is that winds can move at dramatically different directions/speeds at different altitudes. On the other hand, this seems to be a solo developer working on something for the pure challenge of it. Adding different altitudes would have dramatically increased both the work and money required to build/display this. In other words, adding features might make it more useful if you’re purely interested in accurately forecasting balloon flight. But prematurely adding features might mean that we wouldn’t have gotten to play with it now. Would that really be an improvement? Who knows? If you want to accurately forecast balloon flight, there are already built resources for you. But this is hacker news, let’s leave those concerns for another time and celebrate hacking. OP, I dig balloons. This simulation isn’t perfect but you have done some really good work. Keep at it!!
