  • Re: Day/Night Changes
    Board » General Discussion
    There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction aimed at the developers for giving us the day/night mode.

    It should be remembered that this feature came about because some players asked for it. The developers did not suck the idea out of thin air.

    Give them a break folks, they are doing their best and need all of our support.

  • Feature request for Flash Client
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi Guys, keep up the good work, this toy is great.

    Any chance of a tickbox or something to hide tracks? (Flash Client)

    I have found that when the winds are very light and your screen is cris-crossed with the tracks of other boats, it is very difficult to get a clear view of what the winds are doing. Pleeeeease.

    Cheers

    Hi Kalle

    ANother bit to add to this bug/feature.

    In Firefox, even though all the boats move as they should, the distance and bearing information that appears in blue next to you pointer appears to be measured from the position your boat was when you last refreshed, not from where your boat currently is.

    Cheers

    Got firefox problem sorted. I was connecting to http://sailonline.org/windy/run/103/#. Client would open but no data. As soo as I chnaged URL to http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/103/# (Added www.) then data came and all OK.

    AND, interesting, all boats are updated and move correctly every minute. So looks like a problem when running in IE7.

    Cheers

    Thanks Kalle.

    It def does not seem to move other boats. I have left my screen idle for 10 mins. Please see teh result in teh atatched.

    One other issue that is prob related also, a Grey version of my boat if left behind while the Pink version hops forward. Is this correct?

    BTW, running IE7 on XP and Flash 9,0,124,0

    See the attached screenshot of what I mean.

    Oddly enough, If I open a new tab withing the same IE7 browser session, it forces an update and all boats, including my grey version, hop to the correct place.

    I have tried Firefox to see if same issue there but so far I cannot get the Flash client to run properly on there. Opens up but no data downloaded.

    Cheers

    HI Guys

    I notice that when running the flash client, my boat moves in near-real-time. Other boats do not move though.

    Is this correct?

    Cheers

  • DC's gone missing
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi Guys. Dont't know if it was the recent "action" by Kalle, but I notice that my Start DC's which I set a few days back have gone AWOL. I have reset them now if if it was the "Archiving" of the race that caused it, you may have some unhappy peeps tomorrow.

    Cheers

Auckland to Noumea 2025


The ARCH competition is transitioning now from the Arabian Sea to the Pacific Ocean, featuring a 1000 nm route from Auckland to Nouméa. Organized by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, the race last occurred in 2018 and was set to resume on May 25, 2024, after a lengthy hiatus. However, due to political unrest in New Caledonia, the event has been cancelled. Fortunately, those situations do not impact our virtual race, so prepare your Open 60 for another exciting adventure.

Tyger Memorial Race 2025

Dear Robert Neilson, gone too soon, but, a volunteer crew having brought his Tyger home in our first Ocean Race of 2025, here is a further opportunity to remember him and his great contribution to Sailonline, by blasting around an 80nm triangle on his home waters of Port St Philip Bay in spanking-new-to-SOL very-Robert very-macho, grind-greedy Cookson 50s. Tell tales of his derring-do in Chat or add something for posterity to his Tyger IN MEMORIAM Forum page. Sail on, SOLer.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Dondra to Toamasina


Above you see a stratospheric balloon, that if only we had gribs at that altitude would get blasted along quite rapidly and predictably. Alas we just have our SOL balloon that sails rather lower to the sea and that we have crossed the Atlantic in, west to east, last year for the first time in the southern hemisphere. So much fun was had by all, that this year we will attempt the Indian Ocean, but in four legs. Another great piece of fiction, the voyages of Sinbad By Balloon not magic carpet, although you may need a bit of magic to make any progress at times. Pack your wicker basket full for your first leg of at least 2300nm from Sri Lanka to Madagascar; it’s not a picnic hamper, you could be in the air for longer than you hoped!
