The new layout is much better indeed, I like it !
It is fine to see the boats with foils and the ones without.

Just a small glitch. With the previous version, it was possible for me to get your plugin on iPad with the browser version. Now I no longer have the current ranking. But it ok on desktop.

I suggest that you change the text in French to English if possible. I guess there are many Windy users following this race but not speaking French.
Including nds in French meaning kt (knot) in English.

To get the new version of this plugin, it is necessary to delete the previous one (the small bin) and load the new one.

@idefix37

• strange, it should default to english 🤔
• and ok for ipad, we haven't tested those devices...

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

When you activate the plugin on the Stellite view it switches automatically on Wind view;
Any idea on how to get the plugin on overlay of any view ?

Thanks,
F

Great plugin, love it :=)

I think distances should be displayed in "nm" though (now it's "kt")

[kbsali]

hey @InsomniaSailing , strange I thought I fixed it... 🤔
next release I guess! 😅

Hi,

Found my own answer ^^

When plugin is activated, background can be changed using the quick access button.

@kbsali

It looks like you added routing paths?
This is good for the first boats but less clear for later boats.

[kbsali]

@idefix37 yes we have (it is 2 of us working on the plugin :)), what would you suggest?
When you select/highlight a boat, its routing path gets more opacity

[idefix37]

@kbsali
When hovering a boat the routing path is made bolded. This is fine.
When clicking on the boat it opens the pop window displaying speed and the latest performances. But at same time routing path is made bolded and stay like that after closing the pop up window.
I think clicking should just open the pop up window but not the routing path.

[idefix37]

@kbsali
I see that clicking on a boat in the ranking list opens the pop up window and make the routing path bolded.
But why when closing the pop up window does the routing path stay bolded ?
Or is it to compare the routing path of 2 boats?

[idefix37]

@kbsali
@seb12345
The routing feature is now perfect as it is easy to see all the boats moving along their routing path by simply scrolling through the timeline.
Thanks to both of you

Hi, is Thomas Ruyant using the same plugin to make his boat advance with the weather ?

[idefix37]

@niko303
I dont think so. We don't see the Vendée Globe plugin displayed at top of the menu.
He is using Windy as many of the Vendée Globe competitors for the weather forecast. And his routing options are added same as they are in the plugin. With the Uploader in Windy, it is easy to add a GPX track on the screen.
Thanks for this interesting video !
