    Slightly off topic here but I encountered a funny glitch the other day whan I set a new course.

    I was about to tack, from 36 deg. TWA to -36 deg. TWA. I knew this in advance and set the new figure in the approproate box and made sure the correct radio button was enabled. However, I was waiting for the right moment to tack and so wandered off to the chat, the list of boats, steering, etc. Back and forth several times. When the right time came I once again checked the control panel - it was correctly filled in from before. I made my tack.

    To my surprise the new TWA became -33.5 deg not -36 as I had set! Fortunately I saw this immedately and could correct so it was no issue really. But noe I wonder if there could be a bug that makes the control panel "forget" the radio button if the user "wanders off" like I did?

    Having said this i again want to point out that I just love the job you all do developing the game and still think it's the best I've seen!

    Wild idea for "quick races"
    Board » General Discussion
    I participated in "Augustimånen" and really liked that race.

    There was only one problem; the time needed to complete the race. Hence, I had to "park" my boat occasionally and resume sailing at a later time. Not very competitive.

    For races like this, couldn't the race engine run on "compressed time", i.e. run the estimated, in this case, 32 hours in just, say, 5-6 hours instead (10 minutes per hour)?

    Re: Feature request, what would you like to add....

    First of all, let me express my deepest admiration for the new client and its rapid evolvment. I sincerely think this is just fantastic!

    Finding errors is however always easy for those not involved in develpment and so I have one issue I really would like to stress; the possibility to set waypoints.

    For me, that can't sit in front of the computer all the time, and sometimes not at all, this would mean a chance to have my boat to at least move in the right direction and/or be able to make a rounding without me having to watch over it like a hawk. So, I would very much appreciate such an enhancement!

    I know this issue has been proposed before and I have read the answer that it's on the list but, call me nagging, I thought this deserved repeating.

    Once again, though: Great job so far. You have by far the best online routing games available (and I've tried a few)!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
