The testing of the ranking system for Sail Simulator 5 have been successful. Within a couple of days more than hundred races have been sailed with about 50 sailors from several countries. Have a look at the Player Ranking lists at sailsimulator.com under community.

The size of a multiplayer package has been reduced with up to a factor 7. This means that 4 full sessions of 16 ships of the 470 class can be sailed simultaniously. Also the number of sessions on which you can log-in has been doubled until 32. 
 
Yesterday a new Sail Simulator 5.1.6.0 has been released with some modifications. Now the mainsail twist of the VOR70 can be adjusted again. Today a field with racing statistic has been placed on the homepage of www.sailsimulator.com including the class leaders and the top3 of the last sailed race.

 

Five hints for a high score

• Race against many strong, high score sailors.
• The winner gets additional points.
• On a course of 4 times the length, you will earn twice the number of points.
• Also if a race stops before you can finish, you will get points. How much depends how far you did come. So, don't give up and sail until the race stops.
• Start at least once a week otherwise you will loose 10% of your score.
