Posted by AGage Posts 411 Registered at 2008-12-27 10:31:57	2010-01-14 14:07:41 - 2 courses on Australian coast
	Incognito said @ 2010-01-14 09:04:18: This thread is getting quite long. I suggest to post the next race proposal in a new forum thread. Regards, Francois ================ Here is a kmz of 2 courses in Australia, not real races, but in the same location as real races. I didnt think the IRL races would be so good for SOL so I made these up. The Whitsunday Islands race could easily have a sprint race though, as I mentioned in another post, there is a popular week long regatta held there each year consisting of 1-2 races per day. As you will see there are plenty of islands (74 in total) to use as waypoints. Also, I double posted this kmz in the thread describing how to construct them, sorry I forgot there was a new forum for race proposals. But there are a few minor alterations between the file posted there and this one, with this one being most recent. Thanks, and let me know if there is anything I can do committee-wise, happy to help. --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2010-01-14 14:27:18 --- --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-10-03 13:17:34 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__ Attachments 2_SOL_Races_.kmz (4.4 KB)

	Two nice races, Aaron. A bit longer than the usual format, but the race committee will find a way to cope. Three small remarks. In the Whitsundays Race, I understand that the first waypoint is not meant to define the course, but to restrict the playground. However, that is technically not possible in SOL. Every waypoint has to define the course. If we keep the first waypoint, the course will thus require the players to pass to its EAST. I therefore suggest to simply remove it. The playground will be interesting enough without. Also, you need to name the finish and the finish line. In the 'Tour Down Under', you have not named the first two waypoints. A somewhat less important point, but one which I notice in many race proposals. The race characteristics should be part of the course properties, not the race folder properties. The reason is that when you double-click on the course, its properties show up automatically. That's important because I am rather lazy.

	Aaron, I would like also to know whether you would prefer your races to be scheduled as week races or as week-end races, and what starting time you would like.

	Again apologies, I lost net connection for a while,, here are modifications you requested. Don't expect you had any shortage of races anyway --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2010-03-06 16:32:56 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__ Attachments 2_SOL_Races_B.kmz (4.3 KB)

	I have picked up on the second of your two races and will be setting it up in SOL presently - just thought you would like to know it isn't off the radar!
