2017-02-03 20:42:52 - Wx Inspector temporary solution
SOL Tech Gurus are working hard to get SOL Wx Inspector on server again. In the meantime, as temporary solution and the First Aid, here is version of this tool to be stored and run on your PC.
You can download and use it until (soon!) the on-line version will be available.

Here's how it goes:

1) Download files
2) RTFM*
3) May force be with you!

FW!

* - for meaning of this, ask some technician. This is a polite Forum! (as clue: RTFM-error is the most common error on the Planet :-)

windows 10:
Works fine if I configure 'flash player' before starting the "weather inspector"

In my (and i think in your) configuration screen is
flash player(32 bits). Double-click this.
Now follow the instructions in your word document.

Now it works in windows 10 too.

Many thanks...BUT, I cannot choose a race to enter--it needs me to make a choice but the choice slot is empty, so I cannot proceed any further. Has anyone tested this?
It may be important to note that I am using Windows 10, with it's new "Edge" program. Will it work with Chrome or Firefox, which I will need to retrieve from "the dustbin of history"?

If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Thanks Rod. I've heard from others having this problem as well. It seems to be a cache problem.

You can clear your cache, or do the following:
Go to these three pages and hit refresh (which should force chrome to update its cache):
http://node1.sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

http://www.sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

http://sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

For all three pages you should see a line containing "solfans.org", if not you are looking at an old, cached version.

Thanks SimeMali, Javakeda for the recent help in solving the winx issues. It is the only tool I use while playing this game unless my alarm, calculator, pencil and paper count. Good stuff!

Refresh page, e.i. click on circular arrow left to address bar (Reload this page) while .xml is open. It should reload page and add:

'<allow-access-from domain="*.solfans.org"/>'


Sorry, after have posted I saw that you ask for Firefox. There try to clean local Flash storage:
open Wx Inspector page->right click anywhere on map->Global Settings->Local Storage Settings by Site->select and remove 'solfans.org'->close settings and reload page.

You can clear Firefox cache and stored content:
Options->Advanced->Network

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
