Hi Magnus,
Can you please create a step-by-step instruction for the mac-version like Exmer's Windows tutorial? I would babysit your boat whenever you want )

regards

StuArt/Berth

OK, StuArt, I'll try

open Brainaid's proxy from the website and login.

download and start MultiCom.
set Port A to "Pseudo Terminal" and
set Port B to "IP Client" and enter the IP-address and port number from brainaid's proxy as "Server Host Name" and "Server Port".
check both as enabled. make a note of the device it's connected as ex. /dev/ttys001

open a terminal window and enter:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttys001 /dev/tty.NMEA

start sailplanner and check "lock to NMEA"
choose tty.NMEA in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

click the start button in brainaid's proxy

click the check button in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

if you get a green OK everything worked

hi there. i tried this on my macbook as well. didnt get it to work though.
not sure where the issue is.

the multicom says its connected as "/dev/ttys000" not "...001". i got the 2 green lights though. not sure where to change this. ???

in the brainaid proxy all seems fine.

then in the sailplanner NMEA setup, when i click "check" it tells me "could not open port /dev/tty.NMEA: (2, 'No such file or directory)"

in the terminal window i copied the line as you said above. it did ask me for my password, but wouldn't let me type it. i kind of pressed entered a couple of time and then it said something like "file exists". do i have to copy that line every time i connect and want to play or just once and thats it? is there a way back to start again?

got stuck a bit here.... can anybody help?
would love to play around with this a bit.
cheers

gotta love that phrase.

and i fully support the boring aspect of the plain view.

other than that i don't want my point be missed that the game is way cool!

cheers!

Re: google maps interface

Board » General Discussion

could it be possible to make the track of each boat visible in google earth (maybe by clicking on it like in the real life AIS file attached)?
how often is the google earth file updated?

Re: google maps interface

yeah, i knew its not really possible WITHIN google earth.
but what about replacing the "boring" background in the game and replace it with google maps? then we would be able to sail around "real" rocks instead of squared off yellow blocks.
that was more the direction i was pointing at.
would that be possible (hard) to implement?

google maps interface

Board » General Discussion

whenever i'm racing i find myself switching to google earth to see where i actually "am". it would be so awesome if you could play the game within google earth. guess thats not quite possible (or is it?), but how about taking google maps as a background instead of the 2-coloured maps only? it would enhance the game big time i think. more realistic.
same thoughts go towards real nautical charts, but i guess thats even further away as they are not freely available.....

my 2 cents to a fantastic game, thanks.

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!
