2010-05-14 09:46:41 - Map width of new races
Ahoi SOL-Gods!

I don't know if this is the right place,but since it's somehow technical I post here:

Do you think it's possible to limit the width of the map of new games?I'm using a display with 1024x768 pixels,and in some races the map seems to be wider,so if I want to be able to read chat tab I have to move the view this far right,that left side control buttons hardly stick out.This way I can't read the name of boats under the crosshair not at all anymore...
In the ongoing transat race,browser width is optimal,the japaneese race is about 50-100 pixels too wide.For me a maximum browserwidth of 1000px is great,cause my internet connection is a "thin" one and I like to monitor network flow to catch interuptions...
I think I won't be the only one with a "old fashioned" computer setup so I guess there are more then just me dealing with this issue.
And I have to report another (for me) realy minor issue:
When I want to watch race standings via Races/View Leaderboard I dont see the ranking in firefox browsers at all,wheras the list displays well in the grafic mode of links2 browser.I use Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100414 firefox/3.0.8 (like Firefox/3.5.9),and firefox 3.6,both the same result.
Screenshots or further information easy possible on request.

Thanks in advance,fair winds and may summertime soon be with you,Roland,Captain of the virtual raft stoertebaeker

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.
