  • Re: data traffic
    Board » Technical Support
    Does anybody know how much traffic SOL occur in one hour?
    Hi

    i finished the current race SOR3 and Rabat - Alicante with mobile (EDGE, unfortunately i found no UMTS) access.
    My report said that starting the game causes about 1-2 MB traffic. The race updates are small unless you don't get a weather update.

    It was in those 2 races less than 10 MB per our - usually only 4-5 MB/h.

    Hi,

    i would suggest to cache data (e.g. MAP,
    or Weather, if the was no update since last SOL visit). Sometimes i'm on the road and playing SOL with a slow EDGE connection is not funny.

    Regards Stefan, with 5 broken at home using DSL

    Hi !
    i habe a question concerning the bonus points. Are there all races counted or only the races of the last 6 month ? I wonder how some sailors have more than 2000 bonus points ?

    Hi,
    i'm new here, yesterday i started my first race "Eurocard Gotland Runt". Wenn i enter a direction manualy it works, but when i zoom in or out or when i try to set the course of the boat with the mouse, then sometimes the application hangs - the mouse cursor remains a cross and a few seconds later the whole computer freezes.
    (Windows XP SP2 - no Firewall - Readeon 9000 - DirectX 9c)
    I can only reboot by switching off.

    Any help apreciated,
    Regars stefan

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, 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?!
