  • 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

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
