Just rename the file and restart Expedition

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

Exp contains an empty one in the install folder that it copies to the data folder.

​You can make copies for different boats, events etc and specify them on the Exp settings page. 

​You can also edit the database with Microsoft Access. I haven't provided the facility to delete items uch as boats to save people deleting tests, position reports etc.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

Anyone have a link to VOR tracking info that can be used with Expedition?

I'd like to play along with leg 8 for practice. Seems like the YB links are all dead, and I couldn't find anything on Google.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

There is this link. I don't know what the position reports look like though.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

That worked, thanks!

They are emailed in Excel, Adrena and Squid formats. The Adrena version imports to Expedition under the "Volvo Ocean Race" option.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

The VOR format has been around since at least the 2001 race and I think 1997.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

Does anyone have The Ocean Race tracking info that can be used in EXP?

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

I'm not very optimistic

26.POSITION REPORTS ON A LEG
26.1 Race control will attempt to send a fleet position report in .TXT format to all Boats at approximately six hour intervals. Failure to receive such information is not grounds for redress. This changes RRS 62.1 (a).

Re: Volvo Ocean Race

YB are tracking the race. But by their response when I asked for the code they seem to have a contract that prohibits them giving it out.

TOR2023 code (logic was that the last race was VOR2017) seems to not be a dead end, so maybe they have something happening there, but nothing gets imported into EXP using that code.
