2009-05-16 18:33:47 - Map and wind, but not boat to steer...
at this moment, no boat on my PC, only in the "Boats tab", but not in the map. Only "map" and winds. Impossible to sail...

You have entered a course 082 on the "steer" tab.

Now click on "SEND COMMAND" box.

This sends the command from your navigators chart table to the helmsman on deck.

Currently you are at a TWA of 0 degrees, "In irons", pointing directly into the wind.

Another way to steer is to click on the middle icon on Left Hand side of the map which is a "steering wheel"; then move around on chart with your mouse until you come to your desired course, then click the map to lock that desired course in; then click "SEND COMMAND".

After 30 to 60 seconds you will see the course appear in the boxes on the bottom of the map and you are now under way.

Repeat until you finish.

Good luck, fair winds and smooth seas!

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Thanks Paul.
But the problem is other: at times, the boats data are not downloaded. Not my boat, not other boats.
Perhaps an error on my brownser, perhaps in the server...
The Steering tab shows 0º because it have not data...

Hi noone, did you try emptying your browser cache.
It can fix a lot of problems like this.

Thanks, Martijn.
Jeroen thinks that it likes a problem of overloaded grafic system...
If I restart the PC, it works well.

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)!
