	Here is a small Proxy Server that filters the fleet based on distance from your own boat. More detailed instructions are in the zip file. Basically you need to set your browser to use a proxy server: 127.0.0.1:8000 (your machine on port 8000). NOTE: When using the proxy, the initial loading of a race may take slightly longer than usual, but once loaded performance is the same as when not using the proxy. Download it here, and enjoy! Platform neutral -requires java 1.5+, but only tested on Windows. NOTE: The proxy defaults to showing only those boats within 10Nm, however 3Nm is a more realistic 'line of sight' value. This corresponds to approximately the distance to the horizon from a height of 2m. --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-02-26 02:03:02 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__ Attachments Fleet_Filtered_by_CorinthianProxy_50Nm.jpg (196.7 KB)

	That's some nice work! Looks perfect- I'll give it a go once I'm home.

	Updated the zip file with better documentation, including pictures of setting up a proxy server for internet connections to use, and showing the proxy server running with IE. Download here . I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Hi Agage, i've tried your Corinthian proxy, but got stuck on some problems... first and important: I can't control my boat through the proxy. Any commands seem to vanish on their way to my boat. second (and less important): if i have two tabs with different races, it mixes up some information. On Imoca Leg 5 i'm so far behind that a 20 nm radius matches nobody around my boat and so there are no boats visible there, but in NZL there are boats in vincinity, but they don't show up either. Do you have any hints? Tazumaki

	Well I hadnt written it to support 2 or more races at once... It just grabs your location every time the SOL client requests it, and then filters requests for the fleet, so probaly what is happenening is somehow your NZ loction is being overwritten with your IMOCA location. I will have a think about modifying it to support multiple races... I hadnt noticed anything about commands not getting through, I will look into that one, as it makes the whole thing useless - i cant think why off the top of my head as only requests for boat and race files are monitored, all other urls work fine - ie you can browse wikipedia or someother site while using it fine... Thanks for letting me know.. I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	OK I sorted the problem with commands. Seems that the POST sent by the SOL Client specified "Content-length" instead of "Content-Length" in the headers, so the proxy (looking for the latter) assigned a content length of zero to the POST requests, which meant the actual POST data was not being sent to the server! I also reworked it to support as many races as you can load up Now, however, on the command line output you will see the "User Location: lat=X lon=Y" and "N boats within LOS distance" prepended with the session token for that race/session - something like [6b5cff12ee5f1e799965537ab378dfa8]. Redownload from the original link NOTE: 'line of sight' distance can be specified separately for each race with "-race ID=DISTANCE" or "-race 362=5.0" for each race. -distance option stuill owrks with -race options, and any race loaded but NOT specified by a -race option will just use the default distance or whatever is psecified in -distance. DO NOT put in spaces, like 'id = distance' The documentation file has been updated to reflect these changes, please read as the new command line options are fully explained. NOTE: It seems that IE uses can have similar functionality to what FoxyProxy offers Firefox users, with this addon - IE7Pro. I havent used it myself (FF user), but this page details its use to quickly turn a proxy server on or off in IE. Perhaps use the blog page to report any issues in the future? That was i get emailed when something is reported, and it all stays together to. The blog cvan be found here --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-03-10 07:31:19 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

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!
