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 ?

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
