    Hi Magnus,
    Can you please create a step-by-step instruction for the mac-version like Exmer's Windows tutorial? I would babysit your boat whenever you want ;-))

    regards

    StuArt/Berth
    OK, StuArt, I'll try :)

    open Brainaid's proxy from the website and login.

    download and start MultiCom.
    set Port A to "Pseudo Terminal" and
    set Port B to "IP Client" and enter the IP-address and port number from brainaid's proxy as "Server Host Name" and "Server Port".
    check both as enabled. make a note of the device it's connected as ex. /dev/ttys001

    open a terminal window and enter:
    sudo ln -s /dev/ttys001 /dev/tty.NMEA

    start sailplanner and check "lock to NMEA"
    choose tty.NMEA in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

    click the start button in brainaid's proxy

    click the check button in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

    if you get a green OK everything worked
    hi there. i tried this on my macbook as well. didnt get it to work though.
    not sure where the issue is.

    the multicom says its connected as "/dev/ttys000" not "...001". i got the 2 green lights though. not sure where to change this. ???

    in the brainaid proxy all seems fine.

    then in the sailplanner NMEA setup, when i click "check" it tells me "could not open port /dev/tty.NMEA: (2, 'No such file or directory)"

    in the terminal window i copied the line as you said above. it did ask me for my password, but wouldn't let me type it. i kind of pressed entered a couple of time and then it said something like "file exists". do i have to copy that line every time i connect and want to play or just once and thats it? is there a way back to start again?

    got stuck a bit here.... can anybody help?
    would love to play around with this a bit.
    cheers

    gotta love that phrase. :-)

    and i fully support the boring aspect of the plain view.

    other than that i don't want my point be missed that the game is way cool! :-)

    cheers!

    could it be possible to make the track of each boat visible in google earth (maybe by clicking on it like in the real life AIS file attached)?
    how often is the google earth file updated?

    Re: google maps interface

    yeah, i knew its not really possible WITHIN google earth.
    but what about replacing the "boring" background in the game and replace it with google maps? then we would be able to sail around "real" rocks instead of squared off yellow blocks.
    that was more the direction i was pointing at. :-)
    would that be possible (hard) to implement?

    google maps interface
    Board » General Discussion
    whenever i'm racing i find myself switching to google earth to see where i actually "am". :-) it would be so awesome if you could play the game within google earth. guess thats not quite possible (or is it?), but how about taking google maps as a background instead of the 2-coloured maps only? it would enhance the game big time i think. more realistic.
    same thoughts go towards real nautical charts, but i guess thats even further away as they are not freely available.....

    my 2 cents to a fantastic game, thanks.

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

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!
