    Re: SOL - 3D Version
    Board » General Discussion
    ahhh... very interesting. Wasn't aware of that.
    so it is sheer NUMBERS of users at the same time.
    So if SOL had a race of 20, like sailX then 3D would be possible.
    But, since SOL has literally hundreds of users on in one single race 3D would not be possible.

    OK Then... what about instead of having the simple map while racing.. have a satellite image all the time, while racing, plotting etc etc...
    Not just a satellite image to track your boats and others which is just a static shot of the race.

    you actually clicked on the 3d button? becasue there is 2d and 3d option. It is a simple 3d, compared to Virtual sailor. I think virtual sailor is great, but too much. I think the sailx 3d is just right, simple and easy, and still free.

    The controls in sailx have a slight learning curve, but then again, if you sail in real life there is always that learning curve when controling a boat, that is what makes it so much fun and so challenging.
    Not that SOL needs that sort of control, but the #D would make it a bit more exciting and REAL.
    3D FOR SOL!

    Ahh, that is neat. But not what I meant.
    Nice to have THAT IMAGE while we are actually sailing and controlling and plotting in SOL.
    Was nice to see my boat on the finishline, along with other boast in a google image, but can only look at it in google.

    You wouldn't even have to go as far as virtual sailor. look at SAILX.com.
    This is also a free sailing site.
    You can pay for membership just like here in SOL.

    take a look... www.sailx.com

    O wonder if this is possible

    Are we able to see the race courses with satellite images (aerials) while racing and sailing?

    SOL - 3D Version
    Board » General Discussion
    Just a question,just curious...

    Will SOL ever try to have a 3D version like SailX.com?

    Is it possible?

    I would definitely become a paying member if SOL went 3D.

    SJORA Rum Runners Regatta
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    Here is a race based on a real one. I made it double as long though.
    Let me know if you think it should just be one way to Lighthouse in the Bahamas and I can modify easily.
    Gonna make one last one for the SJORA series,
    The Lake Okeechobee we talked about.

    When is the Space Coast regatta and the Key West Race I proposed?

    I have also designed a few races. Even have a race seriess now called 2011 SOJORA Series.
    No races have been posted, but I am sure they will be.
    Have patience... I am sure we are not the only ones designing and submitting races.
    Its fun designing them anyway.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
