Posted by spackel Posts 23 Registered at 2008-11-01 14:11:10	2013-12-03 14:38:37 - Predictor time marker error
	Post annotated by RainbowChaser : This post was moved from the category Sailonline Yacht Club. Hi, I've noticed this error a while ago when we switched to the new server, the orange marker were acting weird. No I saw it again. Two markers and in wrong position (was set to 0.8) at the time. Mostly added here for future reference since I don't think we have any active developer right now. Yes, I am expecting a "well fix it then comment" --- Last Edited by spackel at 2013-12-03 14:47:46 --- Don't understand why the post ended up in SYC and not in technical Support... --- Last Edited by spackel at 2013-12-03 15:10:11 --- Attachments cropped.jpg (13.0 KB)

	Hi, this is a known bug in the client. What happens here is that if the predictor line runs out of the weather area, the marker is off. How much the marker is off, depends on how much predictor is outside the weather area. Sorry, but there is not a fix for it ATM and I can't promise any fix soon.

	I usually do my utmost to ensure that the weather zone exceeds the course bounds by at least the max BS x 6 .... Unfortunately this was not done to the southmost bounds of the Christmas race because it never occurred to me that folks would sail that far south and I was trying to keep the weather zone within the ideal 1000pts size. Sadly, no-one else thought of it either. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-12-03 15:43:16 ---

	This Topic belongs in Tech Support: As hmm has stated this has been encountered previously & From my experience in these conditions I have postulated the where the predictor ends due to the weather boundary the program assumes it to be the 6 hour limit. Therefore whatever fraction of 6 hr you have entered into the delay box will be displayed proportionally on that basis. A fact that can be confirmed by choosing 3 hrs & notice that it will always be halfway to the edge. --- Last Edited by A2R at 2013-12-03 17:57:37 --- None so blind

	I have seen this same thing, sometimes, when the predictor is NOT crossing the Wx boundary. I know some other have notices that too. It could even be that it was only on one tack, but not on the other. That this happens at Wx bound is easy to check, but I don't think anyone knows why this also happens when the predictor line is not crossing the wx border..

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
