Board » Technical Support » 5 Feb Client is BACK! - available as a 'Beta'

	Not sure if Beta client development is still ongoing or code streamlining is the focus, but might I suggest that "Tabbed" boat lists be adopted to conserve space for the Leaderboard. --- Last Edited by A2R at 2012-03-14 18:50:14 --- None so blind

	Issues with Beta Ahoi Fabulous engineroom-Gods ! Today I had the same failure with beta as in the beginning when it did not start - in the middle of practice race. Swiched to old client to finish race. After race I had to clear flash cache and restart browser, then it worked again. So I thought to myself when beta gets main client could we keep old client ( maybe as "?old=true" ) as last resort rescue in tight racing conditions if beta blows up ? Cheers, Roland, Stoertebaeker..

	Do you mean the client itself would not start? I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Just had the time to try all the new beta-gadgets. WOW! Agage: you read my secret thoughts! I hope I still will be able to sail instead of just playing around.... Two things I would like to have changed: - at the forecast-slider: the WX-mark could have a different colour - the personalized fleet feature: why not replacing the DTG with a Distance-To-MyBoat? Or simply add that... Thanks a lot for that brilliant work StuArt

	Ahoi AAron ! A interesting new feature of the new client is that Chinese chatroom is only asessible via old client, as we found out today... Cheers, Roland --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von stoertebaeker am 2012-04-10 17:20:45 --- <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	Yes this was a deliberate decision by the Admin team. Technically the Chinese and Polish rooms still exist, they are just not listed in the dropdown (so in-accessible) - and we have the possibility to use them for special purposes for special races (like for a yacht club from a large 'buddy up' race or something) I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Can you look at my wake and tell me why the "Two Rock" mark in the "Perth ISAF Fleet Race" practice sailing was Not rounded. If I zoom in it seems like I met my "port requirements... is this a problem with the beta client???

	Do you mean to say that it still shows as 'Leave to Port' ?? That is because mark roundings are only scored in the real race. The other client version will be the same I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Thanks Aaron, Your work is outstanding!!!! I was concerned as I sailed south past the mark that my boat position(in the standings) was climbing and I was losing positions. That is what made me think I hadn't rounded the mark and then as I sailed north back toward the mark my boat position started to drop again. Thanks again for your help.

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!

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.
