	None of those errors should be of importance. Or so I've been thinking, but I'll have a go at eliminating them in beta 7 and see if it helps.

	Kalle, et all this is the same problem that I had. The clue for me was when you told me that you were working in Open GL. I solved it by going to Display properties-->settings-->advanced-->(your graphics card) in my case ATI-->Open GL. In the open GL settings I turned off the default settings and then adjusted Anti-Aliasing and Arisotropic Filtering. The key is to turn off "Application Preference" in both. I set Texture Preference, Mipmap Detail Level, Wait for Vertical Sync all to max on scale. Works fine now. It even reduces the flashing when I drag the screen. Hope this helps.

	Waow, this is why I love our wonderful community! Thanks captain for the info - very valuable for the future! I'll also check if I can do some changes in the code to be more specific when I request an opengl context. Thanks!

	Just for the record, it's also important to ascertain that your screen resolution is lower than that indicated by the "max screen resolution" in the open GL tab in display properties. The max screen resolution seems to vary with the antialiasing settings. So either change screen resoltuion or the anti aliasing setting.

	I am having trouble with both the old client and the new one. The new one is permanently "waiting for weather data" and shows no boats, chat, or map. I am in Cape Town at the moment, and don't know if it is this African Server, or a different problem. The old client says "Internal server error" sometimes, and other times gives the map, but with no boat or weather data. Anybody having the same trouble?

Anybody having the same trouble? +++++ Make sure you have the "www." prefix before the sailonline.org/ This solved it for me. Before that, I would open another IE browser tab and put the www.etc in and the new tab downloaded, but the original tab was still waiting. I believe Kalle has fixed this. Better still is to log onto the web site then click "Enter race now!" from righthand column. This works every time for me now. --- Last Edited by Paul Rosser at 2008-11-18 19:00:38 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Thanks... I'm doing that already actally. I am beginning to suspect the local server isn't all it could be.

	Thank you for the update, do you know what solved it? I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

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!
