Volvo Ocean Race Game
Its on again in case anyone is interested. Leg 1 from the Med to Capetown is in progress, but like the 08 -09 game, you can start in the middle (like I did). They seem to have made some improvements on the wind grid this time too. I am sailing in the Ebee2

Re: Volvo Ocean Race Game WARNING, very addictive
I've noticed what CL did too, that the bow of the boat doesn't reflect the direction of travel. Couple that with a boat track that shows you moving sideways in a straight line after 3 jibes and it gets kinda confusing. Oh well, I'm almooooost past the last island that i could run into.....I think. L...

Re: Volvo Ocean Race Game WARNING, very addictive
I think ks8 was right the first time...hmm....maybe the mercator thing too. Its the 10 minute update that has us all messed up here. It updates every 10 minutes (until server is too busy and gets overwhelmed) but the games update of your position doesn't necessarily coincide with when the screen aut...

Re: Volvo Ocean Race Game WARNING, very addictive
I ran aground rounding a point to Quingdao. The screen actually showed me about 2 miles off the coast but the big red "you ran aground sign" came up and I wasn't moving. Shoals I guess. This leg was very educational for me. After rounding the first gate and setting course I advanced to 722...

Re: Volvo Ocean Race Game WARNING, very addictive
The game shows that "5 oclock" is finished when I located your boat Jeff. It seems it stops updating our boat speed and position after we get into the 30 mile radius circle around the buoy. In this case, as ks8 pointed out, it appears they were using a 20 mile radius circle. In other words...

Re: Volvo Ocean Race Game WARNING, very addictive
Well......I kinda missed the start by a day. So I was racing along at 0.2 knots when I remembered. Sailing fine now, but at 11 knots I can't keep bait on the hook.
