Posted by AGage Posts 411 Registered at 2008-12-27 10:31:57	2011-07-02 19:21:24 - Client Update (3Jul)
	There has been a new client released. You will need to clear your browser cache to see it. Among the things listed below it is far smaller to download now, saving some data. Some new features in the client: *Boat List:* You can now create 1 or more custom boat list. Below the boat list you will see a button marked for creating a new list. Clicking this brings up a window allowing you to provide a name for the list (required) and select the boats to be included in it. Click the boat in the list and click Add. The list of chosen boats appears on the right. NOTE: You can multi-select form this boat list, using ctrl or shift, and of course the search function works as usual. Once you have your list (and you can change it after) click Done, and a new list appears along with the Main Fleet list. You switch between by clicking the header for the list. A few other things you can do with these lists: 1) Multi select boats in them to see more than 1 boat track at a time 2) Click 'Show Only these boats' to hide all other boats in the fleet not on the list. The Edit button brings up the same window as used to create a new one. You can modify the name of the list or the boats in it. You can make more than 1 list. Also, in multi-class races like the TallShips or IMSYC there will be an extra column in the boat list displaying the class of each boat. You can sort on this column just the same as name. The columns in the boat lists can be dragged to re-order them, and resized by dragging the column header borders. Also note that currently the lists do not save between sessions. *Weather Slider:* The slider now displays a little more info, and has 2 new features. It displays the amount of time left to the end of the forecast containied in the last update. You can also now: 1) Switch between the slider covering the full forecast period at 10 minute steps, or only the next 24 hours stepping smaller for a finer look. To do this Alt-Click the slider or the text label below the slider. 2) Animate the weather! Shift-Click the same places as in 1) and the weather with begin playing as an animation. Shift-Click to stop. Note you can combine 1 and 2, in that the anmation as just like automatic movement of the slider. Also, you can turn off the weather notification sound effect , there is a checkbox on the Help tab (?) *Instrument Dashboard:* Can display Lat/Lon - Alt-Click anywhere in it to toggle the display on and off *MarkBoats:* Dont leave tracks and look like buoys I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Really an improvement ! 1 thing is not good: After creating a boatlist - it is not saved for next session (as you have mentioned above). IF new boatlists could be saved, I shall rest my voice (for a while)....

	Just found the sound effect checkbox. I should have read AGage's notice much earlier! Wonderful silence now… ciao Bernd

	Saving of option(s) like wx sound, and any boat lists you may have created, is in the works... Custom boat lists will be shared between races though... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Hello, I did as you mentioned, cleared my browsers cache, but I still can't run a race. I come as far as "waiting for weather download" but no further. Any other proposals what to do? Rgds/Hasseballad

	I have a request for xmas that one +6h and one -6h button be added beside the weather slider. I'd like to be able to quickstep forward while looking at the weather on the map. So easy to lose track of the shown time offset now. Cheers!

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!
