Boomerang - Software Links
updated on 31 December 2019
You can download a listing of the boomerang flight simulator in BASIC format from the following flight-toys.com web link. The algorithm was originally written by Gerhard Bertling of Germany. John Mauro added some user friendly ideas. The final program was put together by Jim Martellotti. This is the flight routine that was integrated into the Echoes of Australia CD-Rom in 1995. If you do any computer programming, you might be able to convert this routine into another computer programming language. If you do, let me know. This download also includes John Mauro's BASIC program compiled for a Classic Macintosh Computer. Download Basic Flight Simulator here.

The second CD (second order) will include a comprehensive sampling of photos. Most are in jpg format. on this disk you will find a large selection of photos of boomerang throwers, products and other interesting things, all orgainzed into nice folders by subject. You can run a slide show program (not included) and watch boom photos on your computer screen for more than an hour!
The third CD (third order) will include a large selection of boomerang related movies in mpg and wmv formats. Some are high resolution and some are low resolution, but all will be much better resolution than the crap that you find on YouTube. There are some terrific movies on this disc.

All of these are very entertaining and are a sampling of more than 50 CDs and DVDs that will be available for free beginning with your fourth boomerang order.
After you have recieved the first 3 CDs, I will include a custom CD or DVD with historical videos. Just tell what what geographic regions and topics you like and I will try to match you with a custom made disk full of great video in high resolution.
