	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!

	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. Lacsareno --- Last Edited by sol at 2017-02-04 17:47:41 ---

	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"? --- Last Edited by Rod at 2017-02-05 15:16:51 --- 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. --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2017-02-05 23:11:42 ---

	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!

	How can I refresh my Mozilla Browser?
Posted by SimeMali Posts 26 Registered at 2014-05-21 07:14:19	2017-02-07 06:31:35 - Re: Wx Inspector temporary solution
	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 --- Last Edited by SimeMali at 2017-02-09 11:12:18 --- Ibis redibis numquam in mare peribis

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
