    Ok, I started my other computer and it worked there, so this obviously is a problem on my end, I just cant figure out what the problem is..

  • Waiting for weather download...
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi

    I´m participating in the Ron Cazar race and I quite often get a case where the applicaitons loads, but the map is blank and in the status bar it just says "Waiting for weather download...".

    What is this, is it something on my end or is it server related?

    Thanks!

    "
    It is simply that the arrows behind are describing a curve - a common optical illusion. Love the work you guys keep doing and the quality that we are offered.
    "



    I´m not sure what you mean by the arrows behind, but the curve in the line is definatley not an optical illusion.

    But now that my brain has woken up fully I get how the twa predictor is working, and its really cool.

    One additional improvement that should be applauded in the upgrade is the significant improvement in response time when setting a new twa or cc, great job!!

    Great work it looks really cool and a great addition with the quarter hour submarks.

    Just one question though, atleast my line isn't straight, it actually feels like it has a slight S shape to it, very subtile but still. Is this just my eyes playing a trick on me or if not what does it predict? great circle?

    Having looked at it some more, it seems that when you set the boart to sail under twa the predictor isn't straight as it used to be, is it taking into account weather forecast or something?

    Thanks!

    Personally I like the night mode better, since its better contrast between the wind arrows and the background. Also you only get dots for boats and don't have to see the traces of the top boats all the time, something that makes the windarrows impossible to see in that area.

    So in my opinion night mode is superior to day mode in some aspects.

    So thanks for building a great game guys!

    As I understand it and according to the formula, you don't. VMG is "way made good" in relation to the wind direction or the angle to the wind, twa. So you don't need two positions, only boat speed and twa.

    Though I guess you need two positions or a course to calculate VMC, "way made good to course" or something like that, but I don't know the formula for it.

    //Göran
  • Re: VMG

    The VMG value is the boat speed in relation to the direction of the wind.

    Its calculated with this formula:
    "speed*(cos(twa))"

    What was said here earlier was probably wrong, as I think about it it seems that human error probably caused my mishap.

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - 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!
