@Sailor_Barbie The darker patches can only be seen in 2D view.  Look at the the circle in the top left of the screen. Click on the circle to expand to full screen.

[TWA for maximum speed sailing the (VR) F50]

Hi!    I'm wondering what the  TWA is for maximum speed, sailing the F50 at 15, 20 and 25 knots of wind.  Has anybody seen polar diagrams for the F50?  I hit 49.7 knots the other day, but didn't look at the wind speed or angle.🙁

hi contingency

in real life you announce a luff ... on that game, you just have to anticipate that the guy can hit you and you should stay clear before

'Can and WILL hit you' and get away with it...

To the developers of VR inshore,

It's a great game, especially for lockdown. However, the rules as described in the published documents do not reflect how the rules have been actualy implemented in the game. In particular rule 18 but also 15 and 16.

This is not a complaint that they are not the same as real sailing. That doesn't matter at all. What does matter is that the players can know the rules as they are being applied and sail accordingly. Otherwise the gameplay experience is frustratingly random and I'm sure you'll lose (paying) players because of it. 

Rather than forcing players to try to reverse engineer how the rules have been implemented (possible, but not fun) it would be much easier for everyone if you can share how they have actually be implemented.

Best,
A new fan of your game

To the other players,
If you agree with me, please get in contact with the developers somehow (DM them on Twitter?) and/or reply to this post with support. If you have managed to work out any of the quirks of the rules and fancy sharing them then that would be great too!

Couldn't agree more JPJPJPJP!  

I've become completely frustrated with Mark roundings.  Complete mayhem.... VR Sailors take tactical  advantage of penalties and simply go around the mark as though nobody else was there.   Only the first, and last boat can predict how a Mark rounding will end up.  Everybody else joins the Mark Rounding lottery and da*n the rules

I too am new to the game.  (but not toSailing)....

Please explain the implementation of the rules as JPJPJPJP hopes.  I fail to see how a boat can gybe directly in front of another boat and gain right-of-way after 1/100th of a second.  "Room and Opportunity to keep Clear"

 

Cheers! ,

Another hopeful Fan.
