eSail4VR 1.47

The eSail4VR application enhances the Virtual Regatta experience for both novice and seasoned players alike. This tool provides dedicated routing functionality tailored specifically for the Virtual Regatta platform, enabling users to compete at a higher level.

The routing algorithm developed in eSail4VR meticulously accounts for the various intricacies of the game, aiming to reduce penalties associated with sail changes, tacking, and gybing. It also incorporates critical exclusion zones, such as the ZEA from the Vendée Globe, ensuring that players adhere to the strategic elements required in competitive sailing.

Upon launching the app, users are seamlessly connected to their Virtual Regatta accounts. For those managing multiple regattas, selecting a specific race on the homepage is straightforward. The app provides real-time positional tracking on the map without requiring additional configuration. Furthermore, any new weather files necessary for gameplay are automatically downloaded at startup.

The interface allows users to set a target location on the screen and generate routing towards it. Multiple routings can be created and compared for optimal strategic planning.

For Premium subscribers, once a routing is established, programming commands can be sent immediately to Virtual Regatta, facilitating real-time integration into gameplay. For those without a subscription, manual entry of each isochron segment within Virtual Regatta is necessary.

One of the core advantages of eSail4VR is its emphasis on instant access and efficiency. Whether in transit or waiting in line, users can swiftly update their routing using mobile devices.

Moreover, a Premium subscription offers the convenience of synchronization across various devices. Users can calculate routings on one device and have them instantly available on others, including smartphones, tablets, Windows PCs, or MacBooks.

• Weather forecasts
• 5-day routing capabilities

The Premium subscription, available for three months with a seven-day trial, enhances functionality with:
