2012-12-09 22:49:42 - Problem loading SOL
I'm not able to load SOL on one of my computers. Running on IE8. I've checked that the latest version of flash is installed. SOL opens but does not load wx or boats. Hangs at downloading wx.

Any ideas?

This has come up before although I can't off the top of my head give you the threads here that apply but there are several.

The client not initializing or Wx not finishing after a reasonable time can be a symptom of a "Limbo" state caused by either not maintaining a singular IP address recognized by the server or having some other details compromised held by cookies or Log in session status.

Not usually Flash related.

General steps which are easy to do and can be a quick remedy include:

1. Log out from the front page of SOL
2. Clear browser cache
3. Remove all SOL cookies on that browser
4. Disconnect from internet
5. Reboot computer
6. Start a new internet connection

Now start over by Logging in to your SOL account and report progress

The IP address issue can also be a result of how your ISP handles their IP address allocations or the path between you & SOL such as proxies and the like.

Cleared browser history and saved flash info. Same problem. Having same trouble with beta and older version. I noticed that IE8 has different flash settings compared to other browsers, maybe older version required?

Anyone else having trouble with IE8 and SOL?

I assume you mean the Simonstown to St Helena race? I believe that you were 5th before the real race started at 2012-12-22 09:00 (UTC). All races are in practice mode couple of days before the start where you can sail around the course and otherwise learn the boat polar.

1 hour before the race start the boats will be returned to the starting point so that all boats start at the same time. If you are not online at the start time, you can start your boat by setting a delayed command within this 1 hour starting period and the sailing engine will start automatically sailing your boat.

Kz, not loaded w8 yet. The problem disappeared after a few days, not sure why. Maybe a general windows update cleared the problem. One of those weird issues.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
