2011-05-29 08:28:44 - Idea about permanent sailing area
I have a wish to be able to log on at anytime and choose a boat and sail around freely in the archipelago around stockholm and åland and finland.

Would it hit SOL financially to keep the weather updates running indefinitely for that area?
Could the servers handle the additional load?

I have no financial means to buy a real boat , except R/C controlled, so it would be cool to have this feature. All boat types from SOL could be open and selectable at any time for testing.

I'll rejoin SOL as a member if this could become reality because then I could sail on SOL whenever I have a free moment.

Cheers!
Pierre (boat: chksix)

Hi chksix - this is something I have been thinking about. I know we have pre-race practice but there are the occasional times when there is no practice going on, so having somewhere to SOL is a good idea.

There would be the consideration of how long would a "login" last...it would not be pratical to allow people to stay logged in all the time. We would also need to think about boats - maybe a different boat each month or every couple of months or... a choice??

I will draw this to the attention of the 'Gods in the EngineRoom and see what might be doable.

In the meantime...a new pre-race practice will be opening shortly!!

:-)

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
