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.

Re: SOL - 3D Version

Board » General Discussion

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.

Its fun designing them anyway.

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.

Kapiti Chetwodes Race 2024

For only the second time in SOL history, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the Kapiti Chetwodes Race, held in the Cook Strait region. Organised IRL by the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club from Wellington in New Zealand. The approximately 160nm long route, full of turning points, will take us from the bay at RPNYC around the islands of Somes, Kapiti and Chetwodes and back to the finish line at RPNYC. We have only a 26 ft Albin 79 yacht at our disposal. All this means that we will have a lot of fun, so fair winds!
