    Cheers, I'll try FF if it doesn't load up tonight. Flash is up to date but my inet connection is abysmal.

    I'm not getting it to load up the map. Gets stuck in the blue loading screen.

    And I thought it would be easy ;-)

    My intention for the 24hrs period is that each user can click a button once during the race, thus probably selecting the most strategic time. After that the button is remaining blanked until reaching the goal.

    Sorry to hear it's impossible :(

    One more request from me. I might have been proposed before though.

    A 24 hr period to be used once per race for stealthing the boat should be added to SOL. This mode would hide the boat on the map and in the boat list and the race progress page.

    This is the only way to stop the follow the leader (76Trombones) syndrome we have now.

    I have a request for xmas that one +6h and one -6h button be added beside the weather slider.
    I'd like to be able to quickstep forward while looking at the weather on the map. So easy to lose track of the shown time offset now.
    Cheers!
  • Re: Help with Delayed Commands
    Board » General Discussion
    If you want a course correction command to be delayed for some time just enter the desired delay-time (in hours) and check the box to the left of the text "Delay" before pressing "Send Command". Delayed commands is a neat feature that lets you attend business meetings and wedding dinners while helming a 60- foot single handed catamaran in a full gale!

    This is an offset from the moment you send the command, ie do not specify an actual time but rather an amount of time to wait after issuing the command.

    Calculating Delays: Use the forecast slider to see wind speed and angle in the coming hours. Use the polar diagram to estimate your average speed. Use the ruler to measure distance to the position where you want to turn. Divide distance with calculated average speed.

    Tick the “Delay” box and enter the calculated delay time.

    Note: the time delay MUST be set in decimal hours and minutes, e.g. 1.5 for 1hr 30mins (you can use the times shown by the Weather Slider as a simple reference for this, although they will display in real- time.

    Delayed Command Tab: Any delayed commands you have set will be displayed here. You can use this to double check the commands you give and make sure a delay is set correctly. You will have to press the reload button to see the commands currently available, but the client will also refresh this list every 30 minutes for you. You can also use this tab to remove commands that you no longer want to use. Select the command you want to remove and press the red button.

    Tip: The times shown for the command to activate are in UTC, it is a good idea to verify the decimal delay you have set resulted in the correct time.

    Will these medals be assigned automatically?
  • Re: CHANGES TO NOR (Notice Of Race)
    Board » General Discussion
    My point from the chat:
    I'm of the opinion that the router softwares are just helping tools. They should not dictate how early or late a NOR changes. If you set DC's a week in advance and never check in it's your fault...

    The proposed system sounds good though :)
