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 ?

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
