My big ticket items are as per Keith's first post regarding R16.1, R17.1 and R18.

However I agree with your suggestion about R17.1 in your last post Keith. Either switch the laylines back on or give a clear warning - say 3 secs.

Hehe very satisfying when you overcome something that seemed impossible.

I do wish that instead of calling this procedure protest, we called it Pen Cancel Review Committee--we are not actually hearing protests right now. We just review incidents where the VSK-Judge gives a penalty and the player asks for a pen cancel. I think just changing the wording would have resulte...

I think one of the key issues that run through these sorts of discussions is the practicality and return on investment for a club who is trying to make a decision about how to handle penalties. I totally agree with the idea of using pen cancels to remove incorrect penalties but I think that having f...

Bootcamp 1.4: runs perfectly in 1900x1200 resolution Fusion 1.1beta: runs but artifacts (no shader support yet) - not usable Parallels 3.0: runs but low framerates, low quality graphics - little joy Crossover Mac: runs great in 1900x1200 resolution, Sea is not drawn as well as in XP but still good,...

LOL Keith.

I was trying to remember having spec'd that machine and wasn't getting anywhere till I scrolled down...

I've been eying "my" new Mac Pro for awhile now... dual quad core 3.0Ghz Xeon processors, 16GB of ram, 3TB hard disk array, 4 video cards and a pair of 30" cinema displays... too bad Apple wants US$16,000 for my dream Mac...

Interesting Radek. You would have to consider not just the cost of porting but also the cost of having support and distribution for it, no matter how close the two versions are to each other and you've got the multiple languages as well. All for a very small market.... I'm thinking of going back to ...

Inner, Bull is from Australia so I think the price diff would be less dramatic. I can sympathise inner but the reality is that NADEO will always create the game they way they see fit and if they get the formula wrong, people won't buy it and they will fail - and this includes misleading requirements...

I'd back this up as well. I think the misconception comes about because people think they know the rules...

inner wrote:Why are all these sites with boats worth a damn all in a language I cannot understand

I think it's because these guys actually get off their arses and make them and also like most of us native English speakers, you only know one language - these guys know many languages...

These are indeed the issues that NADEO has always had to face when coding R16.1 and you've explained them well. It is impossible for them to code "intent" and so they give us the best thing they can within the time and budget allowances. I learned to keep my tiller centred while I was ROW ...

There are a number of guys way more experienced than me at making boats for VSK. I am in the process of doing a SuperMaxi - modelling and textures are almost done but after that comes the dreaded BoatParam.xml file.... :? When I'm done, I will know heaps more and I'll be happy to pass on all I know....
