    Buona lo sarà. Sto provano ad accedere a VRo - VG, ma non ci riesco da più di due ore. La rotta è fuori controllo.

    Leggo ora questo messaggio inserito oggi sulle manutenzioni del sito e non so se le due cose siano collegate. Spero di no.

    Grazie per l'Informazione e per il lavoro di tutti quelli che si impegnano a migliorare questo gioco.

     

     

     

    TWA .0

    There is a better method to get an exactly desired TWA.

    First, Why?  If you look at the polar charts, there are peaks and valleys. You never want to sail at an angle that is in a valley, usually when you are in between two sails. Just like real sailing. Conversely, if there is a peak (like at max boat speed angle), then you definitely want to be exactly on that number. Being 0.2 off doesn't sound like much, but if you are ever wondering how the top sailors will slowly pull away from you, that's why.

    The method involves using a programmation point.  First set your boat as close as you can to the desired TWA. Check Dashboard and see what your TWA is to the 0.1 degrees. If it's not precise, set a program move as close as you can in front. Unlock the padlock. Move the program a few minutes forward. Relock the padlock. Check Dashboard to see if you got what your want? Repeat until you do. Then move program back to closest time possible. Wait for verification that movement was received by VR between every action. 

    You can do the same thing when programming tacks and gybes. Just unlock the padlock, move the time a bit, relock, check. When you get the precisely desired TWA move the time of the maneuver back to when you want it executed.  

     

    Many thanks! Hopefully, it works. Have a nice day

    My race history (the scoring)

    Good morning! I write this post because I noticed that the data reported in the Race History (VR Offshoare) of my boat called Pimpi, (Time, Rank and VSRPoints) are different from those the boat receives on the finishing line of the race (at the end of the race I mean) . And unfortunatelly for my boat, the ranking changes according to the data reported in the Race History.
    I have written also two emails to support@virtualregatta.com,  in the last month to undersatand this and how the rakning works but, unfortunately, I am still waiting for a kind reply.

    Could you be so kind to confirm that the address is correct? thank you
    Have a nice day! :)
