Could not load challenge
You don't have the corect version of vehicle
"sampleBoat"

It's impossible enter in race with another player with same model boat "SampleBoat", imported.

Why ?

are you sure you have a fully identical boat ?

try to exchange the Boatname.zip file, i think you must have exactly the same file. I guess if you create a boat with your pc with the same characteristics it won't be considered as the same boat because created on another pc. It should have a kind of identificator when you create the boat. It's for security.

I am very pleased to see that security seems to be high (crypted vpp files in the zip, ...)

Yes yoyo is right, you must have the same exact zip file
in order to be able to race with others.

I don't understand what is the influence of the Heel coeffs.

i have tried to change the coeffs on the sampleboat, but i didn't notice apparent change in the boat speed.

can you explain it ?

Did you notice different heel visually on screen?
Maybe it's just for realistic heel, and that speed is not related directly.

It has an influence on the visual heel,
and also little influence on the speed.
I can't give you full details here, the algortihm uses
many parameters, but to change the speed you must
change values in the vpp files.

ok, thanks.

one last question (but not least

) : Is it possible to have further informations about the parameters in the boat.xml file (unit, scale, ...)?

for example : what the influence of stem position, stem width ?

is it possible to reef ?

Possible solutions ?...... to pass itself the file vpp? ....

The installations happened as per manual and without some alteration, therefore I can hypothesize that is because of the different configurations of Pc.
