Hi there, the only version that is working is the web version the installed client doesn't work anymore.

Problems with the web client are rare but could be caused by a proxy server in your connection. You might want to try a different browser and clear the cache of the browser.

Hope this extra info helps you.

bavaria,

1) Make sure you don't have the delay checkbox ticked

2) Zoom in and make sure you have not run aground.

Thank you guys. Problem solved.
It's my first race and I didn't see the island I was trying to sail through, It's a bit different sailing in a virtual world compared with the real one. BUT GREAT FUN.

Thanks again

I an new user and I have the same problem and your advice above does not help. I can stear the boat from the standard interface but not from the recommended client. I tried from two different computers and same issue. What are the features that i dont get when not using the client. Does it make sence to compete in the race using standard interface?

There is only ONE client, and that is the web based one - the desktop client (which you earlier could download) is not usable anymore. What are your specific problems with the web based client?

Kalle, I think you should remove the link to the 'cheat document', or at least indicate that it is obsolete. I think it may be the cause for the confusion.

The recommended use of desktop client caused confusion. I will not try to use that SW anymore. I hope that all references to that SW will be removed from Saionline.org

I see your point. The line "The best way to steer a boat is by the use of the client-software that can be downloaded here." on the manual page should be removed as well.

Im finishing a new manual as we speak.

This will replace the old one with the, now faulty reference.
This will remove the confusion we had about this, and will provide all the extra information on how to use the web interfce!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
