2024 Vendee Globe Yacht Tracking

@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.

@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?

@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 !

@idefix37 @kbsali great feature thanx

[idefix37]

@Keanu-R-Perm
Thanks @kbsali and @seb12345 who developed this plugin.

[kbsali]

hey guys,

sorry, I am not getting email notifications when being mentioned in this forum...
Thanks a lot for the comments, keep them coming! If you have suggestions, @seb12345 and I are ready for more features & improvements!

[kbsali]

BTW we have added a nice little feature to show the distance between the boat selected in the side bar, and whichever other boat around hovered

[kbsali]

@idefix37 forgot to let you know that the ipad issue should be fixed

[idefix37]

@kbsali
I have a question concerning the future tracks
Have you solved the 180° longitude issue in Windy ? I remember 4 years ago you overcome the problem.

[kbsali]

@idefix37 it is on the todo list! And indeed, the work done 4 years ago should help! Thanks for reminding though :)

The VG plugin is now used to comment the race on several media.
For example with this video in French (see from 20:00)

[Mike Gracz]

At the top of the plugin I see a "warning" message: "version 1.5.0 available". When I hover over the message it reads "uninstall & install the latest version", however, when I uninstall 1.4.10, I can only see that same old version to reinstall. where can I find the new version?
Thanks, this is really great!

[idefix37]

@Mike-Gracz

I confirm that when you try to load version 1.5.0, you always get 1.4.10.
@kbsali @seb12345
So this is probably a bug ?

Edit
It works very well now on Safari with the version 1.5.0

@Mike-Gracz

Hi, I can uninstall and install the latest version, version to install ist 1.5.0, installation is without a problem, but the plugin does not open

[Sylvain Baron]

@Nordhans It opens in Chrome for me but not with Safari.

[Xabiel Suárez]

Hello! Is (or will it be) possible to download the tracks?

[Weta]

Thanks @kbsali 4 the plugin and your contributions @seb12345
I confirm version 1.5.0 works in Firefox after deleting the previous version and the new tracking, routing feature is good, thanks. I get the foiling symbol, what is the other 1?
