None of those errors should be of importance. Or so I've been thinking, but I'll have a go at eliminating them in beta 7 and see if it helps.

Kalle, et all this is the same problem that I had. The clue for me was when you told me that you were working in Open GL. I solved it by going to Display properties-->settings-->advanced-->(your graphics card) in my case ATI-->Open GL. In the open GL settings I turned off the default settings and then adjusted Anti-Aliasing and Arisotropic Filtering. The key is to turn off "Application Preference" in both. I set Texture Preference, Mipmap Detail Level, Wait for Vertical Sync all to max on scale.
Works fine now. It even reduces the flashing when I drag the screen.
Hope this helps.

Waow, this is why I love our wonderful community! Thanks captain for the info - very valuable for the future!

I'll also check if I can do some changes in the code to be more specific when I request an opengl context.

Thanks!

Just for the record, it's also important to ascertain that your screen resolution is lower than that indicated by the "max screen resolution" in the open GL tab in display properties. The max screen resolution seems to vary with the antialiasing settings. So either change screen resoltuion or the anti aliasing setting.

I am having trouble with both the old client and the new one. The new one is permanently "waiting for weather data" and shows no boats, chat, or map. I am in Cape Town at the moment, and don't know if it is this African Server, or a different problem.

The old client says "Internal server error" sometimes, and other times gives the map, but with no boat or weather data.

Anybody having the same trouble?

+++++

Make sure you have the "www." prefix before the sailonline.org/

This solved it for me. Before that, I would open another IE browser tab and put the www.etc in and the new tab downloaded, but the original tab was still waiting.

I believe Kalle has fixed this.

Better still is to log onto the web site then click "Enter race now!" from righthand column. This works every time for me now.

Thanks... I'm doing that already actally. I am beginning to suspect the local server isn't all it could be.

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
