FR:
Bonjour à tous, TRÈS humblement comparé à ce qu'il paraît: R: la philosophie n'est PAS de traverser la zone de navigation commerciale, ni au Fasnet, ni de retour à Cherbourg.
B: Les bouées 5 nord et 6 nord ont une rotation dans le sens horaire et les bouées 5 sud et 6 sud ont une rotation antihoraire.Si A et B sont corrects, nous sommes en difficulté (Houston / VR).
Je commente que c'est gratuit dans un sens et la numérotation des bouées et des marches le confirme. Sur le chemin du retour, nous avons quatre bouées 5 nord, 5 sud, 6 nord et 6 sud.
Si B est correct, nous devons slalomer entre 5 nord, 5 sud, 6 nord et 6 sud (fou, traversant plusieurs fois la route commerciale).Maintenant, je pense que A est ce que vous voulez. Par conséquent, nous devons modifier les formes de pas et la numérotation des bouées et des marches, comme suit.
Sortant vers Fasnet:
Début: ok
Étape 1: ok
Le courant 6 Nord devrait être 2 nord avec un passage dans le sens antihoraire d'est en ouest, le laissant au port ou à la mer pour passer par le nord.
Le courant 5 nord devrait être 3 nord avec un passage dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre d'est en ouest, le laissant au port ou à la mer pour passer par le nord.
L'étape actuelle 2 (St Martins) devrait être l'étape 4 d'est en ouest
La bouée actuelle 3 (Fasnet) doit être la bouée 5 avec une rotation dans le sens antihoraire en la laissant à bâbord
La bouée actuelle 4 doit être la bouée 6.
Retour Fasnet:
Le courant de la bouée 5 Sud doit être 7 dans le sens antihoraire d'ouest en est, laissez-le à tribord ou à la mer pour passer au sud.
La bouée actuelle 6 Sud devrait être 8 Sud avec un passage dans le sens antihoraire d'ouest en est, la laissant à tribord ou à la mer pour passer par le sud.
Arrivée: OK.Désolé pour le compliqué. Je pense que si ce n'est pas clarifié de cette façon ou AUTRE, nous aurons des problèmes.
J'essaye de le mettre en espagnol, français et anglais.
Merci à tous
MB 007.
EN:
Good afternoon everyone, VERY humbly compared to what it seems: A: the philosophy is NOT to cross the commercial shipping area, neither going in Fasnet, nor back in Cherbourg.
B: Buoys 5 north and 6 north have clockwise rotation and buoys 5 south and 6 south have counterclockwise rotation.If A and B are correct, we are in trouble (Houston / VR).
I comment that it is free one way and the numberation of the buoys and steps confirm this. On the way back we have four buoys 5 north, 5 south, 6 north and 6 south.
If B is correct we should slalom between 5 north, 5 south, 6 north and 6 south (crazy, crossing the trade route several times).Now I think A is what you want. Therefore we should modify the pitch shapes and the numbering of the buoys and steps, as follows.
Outbound to Fasnet:
Start: ok
Step 1: ok
Current 6 North should be 2 north with a counterclockwise passage from east to west, leaving it to port or sea to pass through the north.
Current 5 North should be 3 north with a counterclockwise passage from east to west, leaving it to port or sea to pass through the north.
Current Step 2 (St Martins) should be step 4 from east to west
Current buoy 3 (Fasnet) should be buoy 5 with counterclockwise rotation leaving it to port
Current buoy 4 should be buoy 6.
Fasnet return:
Current buoy 5 South should be 7 Counterclockwise from west to east, leave it to starboard or sea to pass south.
Current buoy 6 South should be 8 South with a counterclockwise passage from west to east, leaving it to starboard or sea to pass through the south.
Arrival: OK.Sorry for the complicated. I think if it is not clarified in this way or OTHER, we will have problems.
I try to put it in Spanish, French and English.
Thank you all
MB 007.Thank you sooooo much for your clarity, and for posting in multiple languages.
I, and I'm sure many others, really appreciate your effort to help everyone navigate the VR maze of confusion 🙂

La réponse est simple.
Bouée1, puis bouée 2, puis bouée 3, puis bouée 4, puis bouée 5, puis bouée 6 et enfin l'arrivée.
Voulez-vous dire bouée5 ou bouée6. Puis-je prendre la bouée nord5 et la bouée sud6? -
Il y a 2 heures, contingency a dit :
you're telling me that i should take action to stay clear, changing my proper course, so that i can avoid hitting someone that is clearly giving me no chance to respond and keep clear?
?
wouldn't that discourage close racing?
Hi contingency, yes, of course, you have to plan and be prepared for every possible 'contingency'. It doesn't discourage close racing, it encourages smart racing.

Thanks LaMerNoire, I obviously have a bad memory :)
All the best in the comp :D

Wait for news about that! Few days...
Where is the best place to get information? I find it difficult to know anything from VR.
For instance, the races we have now say they are "Qualifying" races. Qualifying for what? Where do we find these things out?

Thanks for the link Crofter, I just had a look and I see what you mean. I never noticed that before!
I better go get a penalty so I can have a look :)

Le 07/01/2019 à 23:47, Crofter a dit :
Steve,
Regards knowing what rule was "judged" to be broken, there is a rule number posted below the clock and beside the penalty duration count down, as per this photo: www.www.dropbox.com/s/jegvur0kvnhuawa/R15.JPG?dl=0 . Has this now disappeared? (Play on iOS and haven't noticed if now removed?)
Thanks Crofter, I'll check it out. I haven't noticed the number before, I just saw previously the explanation was in the circle below the word 'Penalty.' I use chrome on windows.
One rule that seems to be coming up a lot at strange times is 'acquiring right of way.' Twice today I had someone run into the back of my boat on the start line and I was stung with that penalty.
Anyway, thanks for answering :)
See you on the water

The changes to the rules in the game have made some strange rulings to happen. I just had a penalty on the start line when I was on starboard tack and another boat was trying to cross in front of me on Port tack. Also, many times, at the start line, if someone runs into the back of me I get the penalty for 'acquiring right of way.' And this is when I haven't even deviated from my course. In a race I was just in, in the Star series, I rounded a buoy (well clear of it) and received a penalty from a boat that wasn't even there. Some people may have complained about the way the game interpreted rules before, but now it is just ridiculous. I mean, really, getting a penalty for being on starboard and hitting a boat that is trying to cross on port is just too much!!! And now, it seems, they are so confused about the rules, they stopped saying what the penalty was for (except for the 'acquiring right of way', which seems to applied at some very strange and unfair times) , and just put up the sign 'Penalty.' Please, tell us what the penalty was for.

I am sure it is not a deliberate strategy by VR inshore. Like L1, I also have never heard of such a problem.
As L1 suggested, contact VR inshore and they will sort the problem out. It is a shame to give up playing such a great game.

Il y a 3 heures, L1 a dit :
have a look on the "F" key. It hides/shows all instruments while racing. I never tried to keep it to the end, so i don't know if this is also the reason it did not show stats screen.
hope that helps.
kr.
Yes, it is most likely that you hit the F key by mistake. F is for 'Full Screen' and it only shows the water and the boats. In that mode, at the end, there are no stats showing, only the water. So in this case we can't blame VR or the program, it is an operator error. Before I knew about the F key I did the same thing.

It is the fact that all these selection events were tainted with malfunctions, luck or bad luck, that nothing was fair.
In this case I am waiting for the selected ones to relay the voice of those who have been harmed by their chances, not only to expose their individual joy. For the rest I let you talk as much as you want.
What do you mean "It is the fact that all these selection events were tainted with malfunctions, luck or bad luck, that nothing was fair"? All. Really??? What a load of bull! For the first 6 or 7 days everything worked fine. The glitches started happening after that initial 6 or 7 days. By then most of the top players had already played their initial 33 races and were already at the top of the leader-board. The last few days when the glitches were happening players were trying to improve and maintain their position on the leader-board. When I look at the final score-board I do not see your boat 'FRA47' even in the top 50. So, either after your initial 33 races your score wasn't high enough to work your way up to be in the finals anyway, or, maybe you were waiting to race your 33 races towards the end when the competition might not be so tough, in which case you don't trust your ability and made a decision that back-fired. Bad luck buddy, but it was your strategy, and it didn't pay off.
And what do you mean "In this case I am waiting for the selected ones to relay the voice of those who have been harmed by their chances."? What do you want them to say, "sorry for beating you when the game had glitches that we all experienced." If you were 6th, and close to 5th, and the organizers only took the first five, then you might have something to complain about. But mate, your not even in the top 50, so as I said before either you were never going to make it, or you made a bad tactical decision to race at the end in an effort to gain an advantage, and it back-fired.
It is not the responsibility of the players/winners to apologize for the problems in the game. That is the responsibility of 'VR Inshore', the owners of the game, and I think most players are disappointed that they didn't give any information or apology for the glitch.

You can congratulate yourself as much as you want, all this has been unfair, discriminating and shameful. For my part I would not be there with such a level of dysfunction during the playoffsWhy are you trying to throw a dark shadow on other peoples happiness? Don't be such a poor loser. I think anyone who plays the game regularly will agree that the players named in the finals, so far, all deserve to be there. If the playoffs had been "unfair, discriminating and shameful", as you suggested, then players that are not the top players would be on the list of finalists.
None of us liked the glitches in the game during the playoffs, but it was happening to all of us. To try to take away some of the glory and happiness of the people who made the final, that is what is shameful.
Learn to celebrate other peoples good fortune, not just your own, and you will become a much happier and liked person.

I received an invitation yesterday. I finished 12th so I'm guessing there must have been at least a couple of qualified sailors turning down the trip.
Congratulations KZ-7. It's nice to know New Zealand will be represented. I'll be rooting for you :D

Thanks for the info guys :)
Please us updated along the way :D

congrats to all the participants of the qualification and playoffs, stay on top it was very hard.... bug of the game and great opponent.
hi To all
Hello Velista71
Well done and have a great time in Saratosa.
Many of us that didn't get into the final will be watching you guys (and girls) race off.
Good luck :)

not for me very unlucky
lat 80 races 40 dnf because crashing against rocks ghosts
i calculate and average of 6 crash each race
there are some player (probably bad ping) like me and others with 1/4 times rocked
my mistake was to wait the end to increase my points
my greetings to first 7 platers
have a good sarasota time
Yes Allesandro, I picked you to be one of the finalists as you win most of your races.
Bad luck not getting in, but as you said, your strategy of waiting until the end didn't pay off this time.
The glitch may have made the difference to being a finalist or not, we will never know.
Looking at the boats that appear to have qualified, they are all deserving winners as they are all in the group of top players, and if you were in that group of finalists you, would be deserving to be there also.
There is always next year ?

@SteveB yes it seems that they will pay the travel and the accommodation (as announced in several news).

That's great! What a cool prize! I didn't see that news, I just saw that the finalists would race off in Saratosa.
What a buzz you guys and girls are going to have :)
Congrats again :)

@KZ-7 I get an invitation for Sarasota a few hours a go !
epicure
Great! Does that mean VR are going to fly you to Sarasota?
-
Yeah, congratulations to those who made it. Looking at the names, they all deserve to be there, so it has all worked out in the end, bugs or no bugs.
LaMerNoire and Epicure, I don't know how you do it. You are so consistent. I'm fairly new to this game as I just started playing in July this year and I often watch you guys and the other top racers in spectator mode to get clues as to how you do it. You guys make it look so easy sometimes :)
Anyways, good luck to all the finalists, and I'm really looking forward to watching the top dogs race it out ?

Can't buy foils in the Sydney to Hobart
in Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Club
Posted
I haven't been playing VR for a while so I'm not sure if things have changed with regards to the foils. When I look at the options to outfit my boat I can see sails etc, but I can't see an option for foils. Where do I get the foils?
