	Looks great Kalle! Chompo and I gave them a good workout at Schouten Island and I think everyone will be _very_ pleased with the upgrade. The side effect of doing away with the double rounding arrows is an improvement in itself! One question from the SRC: how will the server resolve the 180deg case so we can add this info to race planning guidelines and race descriptions? Default marks to port/stb etc?

	<quote> Chompo and I gave them a good workout at Schouten Island and I think everyone will be _very_ pleased with the upgrade. <unquote> Did you really? Without having tested it I am under the impression one could still sail onto the mark the correct way until "Rounded" and then turn 180° and continue the course. Philip

	Schakel, no, the new rules enforces proper rounding of marks, in the direction indicated. The old style of just registering a rounding by passing above the wp and then turning back won't work - when you turn back the "next waypoint" will change back again with the new system.

	75T, regarding the 180 deg case, you need to ask Jakob how the direction is calculated.....

	Thanks for clearing that up, Kalle. Philip

	The system should work with the 180 deg turns. The server then chooses a direction. To be frank we need some final testing of that to see that the client and the server agrees on the rounding direction. Thanks for caring, testing and reporting!! ...one of the guys behind the game...

This game should reward those who discover the best strategy over those who can beat the loopholes of the game. Changes like this, and the timely implementation of it are a credit to the SOL developers.

There are no loopholes if nobody is beating a loophole - so lopphole beaters feel encourage to chase one or two or more --- Last Edited by StuArt at 2010-03-20 23:33:42 ---
