  1. I usually report issues also the VR support.
    Usually without any appropriate action ...

    like the crappy ranking in record mode, the ridiculous 4 knots minimum wind limit and that you cannot see opponents options

    ___
    Je signale également des problèmes aussi le support VR.
    Habituellement, sans aucune action appropriée ...

    Comme le classement merdique en mode record, la ridicule 4 nœuds limite de vent minimum et que vous ne pouvez pas voir les options des adversaires

    Bonjour,

    je vais bientôt arriver au Horn ;

    @Ursus Maritimus : est-ce qu'il faut continuer à remplir Jules Verne Trophy timing ?

    @MarinsEauDouce : Je me fais des idées ou les données entrées sur Jules Verne Trophy timing sont recopiées dans ton tableau ? Il ne me semble pas l'avoir rempli lors du passage du cap Leeuwin.

    Malgré un temps qui ne me semble pas fameux, je vais continuer, je pense, pour une remontée de l'Atlantique qui s'annonce longue ¬¬

    Bonne continuation à tous,

    Henri

    Dear all,
     
    When I started this spreadsheet it was because of almost complete lack of ranking information by Virtual Regatta.
    Now that it is in use for three weeks, I see that it is not adding much value.
    The mechanism to calculate times needed from start and gate passing time is not very effective.
    And there is much larger spreadsheet where you just enter the time needed to each gate:
    I have locked this spreadsheet, so you can copy your passing times to that spreadsheet
     
    Fair winds to all,
    Mike
  3. I get a sailchange penalty applied every time when I select Spi as mainsail BEFORE STARTING THE ATTEMPT, even when waiting 300 s after the sailchange and before the attempt. Bug or intended behavior?
    _____
    Je reçois une pénalité de changement de voile à chaque fois que je sélectionne Spi comme grand-voile AVANT DE COMMENCER LA TENTATIVE, même en attendant 300 s après le changement de voile et avant la tentative.

    No, With the new version, the game and the club house (forum) are two separate entities. They don't share the same username-boat name, and they don't share passwords for that matter. I don't think there is a process that exists for changing the forum username. This has been reported a few months ago when @mcmgj - EZy tried to change it.

    miracles happen, I've asked VR support and it is done with a couple of hourse ...

    now let's grab some pinguins for breakfast ;)

    les miracles se produisent, j'ai demandé le support VR et c'est fait avec quelques heures ...

    Maintenant, prenons quelques pinguins pour le petit déjeuner;)

  5. my boat name has changed from DancingDjMike to Ursus Maritimus, no change in options

    does anyone know how my username in the club house can be changed accordingly?
    strangely enough that are two different accounts ...

    ---

    mon nom de bateau a changé de DancingDjMike à Ursus Maritimus, aucun changement d'options

    Est-ce que quelqu'un sait comment mon nom d'utilisateur dans le club peut être changé en conséquence?
    Curieusement, ce sont deux comptes différents ...

    J'espère que l'on pourra voir très bientôt les temps de passage des bateaux que l'on veut suivre car pour l'instant on ne voit que les temps de passage des 50 premiers et c'est frustrant !

    c'est un bug dont je n'expecte pas que VR va le resoudre.
    comme le bug de temps qui est la meme pour tous les bateaux q'ont clicque que est la depuit le debut du JVT (20 decembre) en celle des classements manquants

    Bonjour,

    J'ai effacés quelques doublons qu'il y avait (3 doublons).

    Pour les heures de départs, il faudra attendre la correction du bug d'affichage pour connaitre plus précisément l'heure exact. J'ai lu que ce serai résolu très vite, mais cela ne semble pas résolu actuellement.

    @DancingDjMike, Le fichier est ouvert à tous. Je ne fait que rectifier les quelques erreur de saisi dans le tableau.

    Sans doute un de ton groupe qui a recopier les temps.

    ok, that is very well possible. sorry for the false accusation

    Ranking in VR sucks, you only see the top 50. Nothing on followed players, nothing on country, province, city and worse, nothing on clubs. And worst of all, you can click on a followed boat, but they all show ranking #1 and all the same time ...

    What a shame. Anyway, I've sent a message to VR-support hoping they will address the severe limitations on ranking soon.
    ----

    OK, c'est très bien possible. désolé pour la fausse accusation

    Classement en VR suce, vous ne voyez que le top 50. Rien sur les joueurs suivis, rien sur le pays, province, ville et pire, rien sur les clubs. Et le pire de tout, vous pouvez cliquer sur un bateau suivi, mais ils montrent tous le classement # 1 et en même temps ...

    C'est dommage. Quoi qu'il en soit, j'ai envoyé un message à l'équipe de VR-soutien en espérant qu'ils s'attaqueront bientôt aux limites sévères du classement.

    Thanks mate. About the only thing regarding navigation at present I don't get the basics of is polars. I am a great mathemetician, dart player helps a lot with quick calculation (not the same though), but struggling to grasp concepts but will get it. I have no intention of paying for anything at present and have taken a look at zezo, which looks like a tool professional navigators/tacticians might use, or something similar.

    What i think i will need to work on is advance planning by assessing winds in advance more but not sure how to approach it yet. Maybe i need to figure out my own structure or maybe one day someone will give me some tips and advice on best way to approach it. I used the waypoints before sleeping in the syd-hobart which i think i would have been stuffed without but never had a programming card yet so don't really know that side of it but maybe this race i might get a few to put into practice.

    I am considering also doing the hobart to whitsundays clipper race but not sure if i will bite off more than i can chew. Not sure yet.

    I am thinking of joining the SOS club that Sangue Seguro invited me to. Maybe this will help and can get some advice that way.

    Thanks again Marcus and good luck in the next race. Happy trails. :)

    Just do Hobart-Whitsundays and use it to practise how everything works out for you: fixed heading, fixed angle-to-wind, programming, waypoints (around coastlines, such as right after the start), autosail. But also the use of zezo.org for weather routing including the very convenient plugins. And follow a few top guns such as marcubelgicus, your mom sa, tame bird etc.

    Good sailing!

    Hi. Starting with saying that the offshore game is awesome and well done. Brilliant.

     

    The inshore though is a pathetic joke. Cannot steer properly at all and it is not as if i can plug a helm into a usb port and drive lmao.

    Also, i have done a lot of research on rules and around 50% of the time when starting i am always immediately penalised when i am dropped into the game because i have supposedly broken the leeward/winward rule or the port/starboard rule. Had about 10 races and only not finished last once and that i think was 7 out of 8 lmao.

     

    What a shame! I won't be playing this version ever again as the ability to slightly adjust heading is impossible due to lack of sensitivity and when you hold left/right down for a bit it goes crazy. Just not controllable.

     

    I agree. controls are very bad and insenstitive. took met 10 to 20 races to be able to finish the first one. mostly end up 3rd or 4th with a few wins, because I almost always mess up the controls while steering. especially after rounding a buoy it is virutally impossible to be spot on the new heading or angle-to-wind. I've stopped playing

    Firstly, thanks so far for the replies.

    Second, english only please. I don't understand and it can be easy to offend someone in their thread/post, if they don't understand what is being said.

    @WildWassa thanks for the reply especially and would like to learn the game and sailing with you as 2 rookies haha. What is your boat name? Mine is Aussie Gold and we can follow each other for help and tips. I went to the zezo site but it seems like cheating to me, i could be wrong. Seems good for weather update into the future, which seems to be better than in game but won't know until start to compare it but i won't be for this race. Will do in the future perhaps if i ever do the Jules Verne as it will be a good guide it seems. We also perhaps should join a club. Have you joined any yet? If so, which 1 and i will join it too? If not, perhaps we should accept sangue seguro's invite and go from there if you are keen.

    Let me know your thoughts mate and happy sailing :)

     

    you can't win without some kind of weather server and a routing solution. or even make ik top 1000 with only the VR-game UI
    the real VOR navigators also use routing solutions

    without zezo, I wouldn't be playing anymore and like me many others

    anyway, make your own choices and fair winds to ya !

    Hi all.

    Just crossed the line to finish my 1st race, the great Syd to Hobart and was great fun and learning. Aimed to finish under 10,000 but a few hundred short of getting there. Lost course a few time sleeping and realised the auto nav is crap and figured out the auto sail and waypoints are great and a must for time away from the game.

    What i would like is to join a club with all english speaking players so i can go about learning the game more and getting help, support and ideas on how to improve as 95% of the forum is in French and i have no idea what is being said and is a bit disheartening.

    Can anyone recommend or invite me possibly, to a club that would help me with what i am wanting to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Aussie Gold!

     

     

     

    Have a look at the forum at zezo.org, there you will be able to learn a lot more about gameplay. and ...

    ... the French write English !

    Mostly because of what I learned there and using their toolset, I improved from a little under 10.000 in VOR leg 1 to 60th in VOR leg 3 (with all options from credits made in all races). Where I lost out was in lacking of programming cards.

    For leg 4, I have to choose between light sails, heavy sails and enough programming cards (in addition to foils, code0 and winches).

    Here at the Club House, I've learned virtually nothing.

    Bonjour à tous,

    Comme pour chaque courses à record, je met en place un tableau Excel online pour permettre à chacun d'ajouter leur temps sur les différents point de passages et faire ainsi un petit classement pour chaque passage.

    Pour les plus anciens d'entre vous, vous pourrez retrouvez vos historiques des anciens records. :) 

     Rendez-vous ici : www.docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LMD9pkPUAX-QM1yR_Zor5ELd0cFn0jXx1F221zizxCM/edit?usp=sharing

    merci d'avoir copier toutes les bateaux de Jules Verne Trophy timing ...

    Thanks, but there's already something for PDD or SO here: www.1drv.ms/x/s!AqaJZh0p6jXAqi9JKZpsQ2IXptwL

    Pour calculer les durées intermédiaires, on peut s'aider de ce site: www.www.horlogeparlante.com/calcul-de-duree.html

    ok, there are only 13 boats there. 32 on the timesheet I posted.

    Spreadsheets can calculated differences between timestamps easily

    until VR comes up with a better ranking solution for this time trial race, this is probably the best alternative
