FAQ

Is this just  Yet Another Wind System?

It's not another wind system, just a better (IMHO) interface to WWC Cruise wind.

 

Why dont you do 'Global Wind' like Nomad's system

Nomad has already made a Global wind system :)

One consideration though is ability to retrofit to existing boats.  Another is minimal server / communications impact.  WWC is in wide use and as much of a standard as we have (though def not universal).

 

Isnt this the same idea as BWIND?

Partly - the easy to use part. 

But, again, its using the WWC weather calcs (the interpreter script).

This means you get wind shadow automatically.

Also we will be incorporating squalls and regional weather in due course.

 

Why do I need to go to a Web Browser?

You don't, unless you want 'custom' wind, ie to twiddle with all the WWC cruise settings.  Auto wind is set through very simple in-world menu.

For custom wind though the web page is much simpler than a slew of chat commands - plus you dont have to go find a wind setter.

 

Which Boats Can I Retrofit?

Basically any boat that is 'mod' and has a WWC Interpreter script or Trudeau with _racewind

The list of boats we've actually tested is ...

Ktaba Vanya / Maia / Teleri

CyberSculpts  SC Marlin / small marlin, 3-Master Minnow / minnow
