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
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
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.
