  • Re: Day/Night Changes
    Board » General Discussion
    There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction aimed at the developers for giving us the day/night mode.

    It should be remembered that this feature came about because some players asked for it. The developers did not suck the idea out of thin air.

    Give them a break folks, they are doing their best and need all of our support.

  • Feature request for Flash Client
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi Guys, keep up the good work, this toy is great.

    Any chance of a tickbox or something to hide tracks? (Flash Client)

    I have found that when the winds are very light and your screen is cris-crossed with the tracks of other boats, it is very difficult to get a clear view of what the winds are doing. Pleeeeease.

    Cheers

    Hi Kalle

    ANother bit to add to this bug/feature.

    In Firefox, even though all the boats move as they should, the distance and bearing information that appears in blue next to you pointer appears to be measured from the position your boat was when you last refreshed, not from where your boat currently is.

    Cheers

    Got firefox problem sorted. I was connecting to http://sailonline.org/windy/run/103/#. Client would open but no data. As soo as I chnaged URL to http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/103/# (Added www.) then data came and all OK.

    AND, interesting, all boats are updated and move correctly every minute. So looks like a problem when running in IE7.

    Cheers

    Thanks Kalle.

    It def does not seem to move other boats. I have left my screen idle for 10 mins. Please see teh result in teh atatched.

    One other issue that is prob related also, a Grey version of my boat if left behind while the Pink version hops forward. Is this correct?

    BTW, running IE7 on XP and Flash 9,0,124,0

    See the attached screenshot of what I mean.

    Oddly enough, If I open a new tab withing the same IE7 browser session, it forces an update and all boats, including my grey version, hop to the correct place.

    I have tried Firefox to see if same issue there but so far I cannot get the Flash client to run properly on there. Opens up but no data downloaded.

    Cheers

    HI Guys

    I notice that when running the flash client, my boat moves in near-real-time. Other boats do not move though.

    Is this correct?

    Cheers

  • DC's gone missing
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi Guys. Dont't know if it was the recent "action" by Kalle, but I notice that my Start DC's which I set a few days back have gone AWOL. I have reset them now if if it was the "Archiving" of the race that caused it, you may have some unhappy peeps tomorrow.

    Cheers

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years. Spanning 435 nautical miles, this iconic journey takes racers from Melbourne, across the formidable Bass Strait, and around Tasmania's rugged west coast to the finish line in Hobart. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
