My soft is ready (beta version)

BTW I have found strange COG values :
<cog>0.798365726218</cog>

I think this is a radian value. Is'nt ?

All the boats are going south this night on NSSANZ; I get :
<cog>3.17281659391</cog>
After conversion
COG radian: 3.17281659391
COG degree: 171.88733853925
The right direction.

I have not yet implemented TWA / TWS nor the sail selection.

I have seen where DC Checker gets polars and gribs .
Some more tests and I'll publish the beta version on my server.

The english (and french) beta versions are here: http://voilevirtuelle.free.fr/SailOnLine/ge/

BUT... the Free.fr server does'nt allow to retrive data from an another server so you can't use directly these scripts.

You have to download them and set up your own local webserver.

If Solfan web site (or Kroppyer's one) could hosts this code (after extensive testing and maybe few improvements, any SOLers could directly generate and download his own KML / KMZ map of the Sol fleet.

looking good!
I would recommend using the sol account to retrieve data, then signing in can be done automatically. 

"http"."://www.sailonline.org/webclient/
authenticate.xml?username=".$nick.";
password=".$pass.";race_id=".$race

use $nick="sol" and $pass="sol".

And this will list names and IDs (and more) of active races: 
"http"."://www.sailonline.org/webclient/
races.xml?filter=active"

OK.

I have made the modification :

--- Implemented ----
1) Get the list of active races

2) The user select one

3) Login with "sol" account
-> return a valid token

4) Get the boat list and position
-> conversion to KML / KMZ map

5) Archive : List of all KMZ files sorted by race and date.

6) the TWA set up the type of sail :
TWA <= 40° -> Jib
40° <= TWA < 110° -> Genois
110° < TWA <= 140° -> Gennaker
140° < TWA -> Spinnaker

7) TWA & TWS act on boat roll : more wind, more roll

8) And last but not least, added new collada files for trimaran

--- Implemented ----


Future improvements

9) Select which boats to display


Attached zip: The updated version of 2017/03/25.
Correction of fews bugs and many improvements like new models, Grib, Polars and tour.

Hi everybody (and Koppyer / Kipper of course)
I need clarification about grib restitution for SOL.
1) Are the U and V components of Grib files from DCChecker's SOLGribXml folder in m/s or in knots ?
I think they are in m/s.

2) The U and V values are the TWS components, with U the vertical component and V the horizontal one
like in the Sol'd blog
https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/how-to-calculate-tws-and-twd-from-grib-components/

That's right ?

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024


Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024


Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
