2009-12-29 21:56:52 - Time Slider issue
Hi, I posted about this before, and have had a break off SOL (from RL commitments, back now), and find this issue still exists.
The issue being the time displayed just below the slider at the bottom of the screen is either 30 minutes ahead or behind the time shown in the 'instrument panel' of BS/CC/YWS/TWA/TWD etc when set to +0.0 hours.
This itself doesnt really cause problems, but even more obscure is when I move the slider into the future, at some point (different each instance of the game) the time will 'jump' forward or backward an hour...
Eg: slide to +3.7 hours and time shows as 01:50utc, slide 1 more to +3.8 hours and time shows as 01:00utc ???? (
I usually play SOL in Google's Chrome browser, so I can set a desktop shortcut up for easy access, but notice the same behaviour in Firefox to.
I have included some (cropped) screenshots to illustrate what is happeneing. Those prefixed 'ff-' are from firefox.
Very wierd behaviour...

Make sure your PC clock is correct. It might not be that ...just a thought

It is. I use a time server to sync.
Still doesnt explain slider time 'jumping'?
And sometimes it shows half hour ahead, other times behind...

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
