Waiting for weather download...

Board » Technical Support

Hi

I´m participating in the Ron Cazar race and I quite often get a case where the applicaitons loads, but the map is blank and in the status bar it just says "Waiting for weather download...".

What is this, is it something on my end or is it server related?

Thanks!

It is simply that the arrows behind are describing a curve - a common optical illusion. Love the work you guys keep doing and the quality that we are offered.

I´m not sure what you mean by the arrows behind, but the curve in the line is definatley not an optical illusion.

But now that my brain has woken up fully I get how the twa predictor is working, and its really cool.

One additional improvement that should be applauded in the upgrade is the significant improvement in response time when setting a new twa or cc, great job!!

Great work it looks really cool and a great addition with the quarter hour submarks.

Just one question though, atleast my line isn't straight, it actually feels like it has a slight S shape to it, very subtile but still. Is this just my eyes playing a trick on me or if not what does it predict? great circle?

Having looked at it some more, it seems that when you set the boart to sail under twa the predictor isn't straight as it used to be, is it taking into account weather forecast or something?

Thanks!

Re: Day/Night Changes

Board » General Discussion

Personally I like the night mode better, since its better contrast between the wind arrows and the background. Also you only get dots for boats and don't have to see the traces of the top boats all the time, something that makes the windarrows impossible to see in that area.

So in my opinion night mode is superior to day mode in some aspects.

So thanks for building a great game guys!

Re: VMG

Board » General Discussion

As I understand it and according to the formula, you don't. VMG is "way made good" in relation to the wind direction or the angle to the wind, twa. So you don't need two positions, only boat speed and twa.

Though I guess you need two positions or a course to calculate VMC, "way made good to course" or something like that, but I don't know the formula for it.

Re: VMG

Board » General Discussion

The VMG value is the boat speed in relation to the direction of the wind.

Its calculated with this formula:
"speed*(cos(twa))"

Disregard this..

What was said here earlier was probably wrong, as I think about it it seems that human error probably caused my mishap.

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!
