What is Zephi?

 

Zephi is a very easy user interface for skippers to set boatwind, but utilises all WWC parameters* for a richer SL sailing experience.

 

It also has some extra features:


First, the addition of "auto wind" that uses server-generated weather.  The weather settings are obtained automatically when you rez your boat.  

'Universal' wind is the same for everyone. 

'Personal' wind lets you set a prevailing wind direction and just how easy or challenging you want it.

 

Second, for wind geeks, Zephi includes a very easy interface for full WWC Cruise settings using a web form.   As well as wind, this gives access waves and currents, and of course shifts and gusts.   We use the term weather to refer to this.
All of this without needing a wind setter.   No chat commands.

 

For more on how it works see the Wind Geeks page

Zephi is easy to install.

 

* On boats that have WWC installed.  Trudeaux use a subset of WWC features, see here for more.
