My soft is ready (beta version)

BTW I have found strange COG values :
<cog>0.798365726218</cog>

I think this is a radian value. Is'nt ?

All the boats are going south this night on NSSANZ; I get :
<cog>3.17281659391</cog>
After conversion
COG radian: 3.17281659391
COG degree: 171.88733853925
The right direction.

I have not yet implemented TWA / TWS nor the sail selection.

I have seen where DC Checker gets polars and gribs .
Some more tests and I'll publish the beta version on my server.

The english (and french) beta versions are here: http://voilevirtuelle.free.fr/SailOnLine/ge/

BUT... the Free.fr server does'nt allow to retrive data from an another server so you can't use directly these scripts.

You have to download them and set up your own local webserver.

If Solfan web site (or Kroppyer's one) could hosts this code (after extensive testing and maybe few improvements, any SOLers could directly generate and download his own KML / KMZ map of the Sol fleet.

looking good!
I would recommend using the sol account to retrieve data, then signing in can be done automatically. 

"http"."://www.sailonline.org/webclient/
authenticate.xml?username=".$nick.";
password=".$pass.";race_id=".$race

use $nick="sol" and $pass="sol".

And this will list names and IDs (and more) of active races: 
"http"."://www.sailonline.org/webclient/
races.xml?filter=active"

OK.

I have made the modification :

--- Implemented ----
1) Get the list of active races

2) The user select one

3) Login with "sol" account
-> return a valid token

4) Get the boat list and position
-> conversion to KML / KMZ map

5) Archive : List of all KMZ files sorted by race and date.

6) the TWA set up the type of sail :
TWA <= 40° -> Jib
40° <= TWA < 110° -> Genois
110° < TWA <= 140° -> Gennaker
140° < TWA -> Spinnaker

7) TWA & TWS act on boat roll : more wind, more roll

8) And last but not least, added new collada files for trimaran

--- Implemented ----


Future improvements

9) Select which boats to display


Attached zip: The updated version of 2017/03/25.
Correction of fews bugs and many improvements like new models, Grib, Polars and tour.

Hi everybody (and Koppyer / Kipper of course)
I need clarification about grib restitution for SOL.
1) Are the U and V components of Grib files from DCChecker's SOLGribXml folder in m/s or in knots ?
I think they are in m/s.

2) The U and V values are the TWS components, with U the vertical component and V the horizontal one
like in the Sol'd blog
https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/how-to-calculate-tws-and-twd-from-grib-components/

That's right ?

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Tall Ships 2026 - Aarhus to Harlingen


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is from Aarhus in Denmark, through the Skaggerak and down the North Sea to Friesland’s Harlingen – a proper tall ship training adventure of circa 450nm, which online this year you will race in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
