VPM-B in profile

[Robert Helling]

Hi Rick and others,

I am trying to understand what is wrong with the ceiling in my threaded planner branch when using VPM-B (Buehlmann appears to work ok). I have to admit I do not really understand how the interaction between the deco information for the profile and and the planner is supposed to work there: There is a clear discrepancy between what the planner computes (which cannot be totally off since the tests pass) and the shown ceiling. But when I save the planned dive, in the usual log it looks about right.

So I looked at profile.c, and in calculcate_deco_information(), I tried to remove the in_planner() exceptions for VPMB (see attached patch).

This makes also the plotted ceiling in the planner look good. Unfortunately only approximately. And there are cases, when the planned dive breaks through the ceiling of the profile (resulting in the profile turning red). So it seems, the profile is guessing some deco parameters and gets this almost right but only almost.

Unfortunately, I did not follow the recent improvements to the vpmb profile ceiling really closely. Does anybody (probably Rick) which deco parameters we were using form the planner in the profile? Is it just deco_time? Then there might be some way to „leak“ that value from the planner to the profile.

Best
Robert
