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 ?

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
