Hi Stakk Green Dragon,

I seem to recall bumping into you a few years back on VR. You sailed there under an Aussie flag.

Anyhow, G'day!

Now I have to relearn how to sail with wind fixed within a square. Back to "tricotage" on the borders.

I'm going to miss Live Skipper.

Cheers,

John

Good afternoon all. In preparation for the unfortunate demise of my current Virtual game in LS, i have registered my boat Kingfisher829, and look forward to sailing with you. How to operate the controls has been a challenge for a day, and also how the squares work with the wind
I am sure other English speakers will eventually join the game & forum.

Hi Glenn,

Glad to see you here.

I discover here that Stakk is French, I always thought he was Australian as he sailed with an aussie ensign on VR.

I'm slowly getting used to the game with squares. But I like the scheduler.

Cheers,

John

Quick question, can I see the speed of other boats ?

thanks

Not that I can see, only their ranking when you click on them (number on the sail).

Hi Glenn,
No, it is not possible to see the other boats sail, heading and speed.

Ok thanks both. I thought that may be the situation

There is a way, but so complicated it's not worth it. When you click on a competitor, the game shows a track, in the cache or using the developer's tools of your browser, you can recover the points that drew the track, the last lat/lon being the value where the boat is, you then repeat the operation 10 minutes later and get the new value. Calculate the distance between the 2 points and multiply by 6, that was the speed 10 minutes ago.
