Fixed an issue where the top of a foresail would create a huge sideways force
Fixed a rendering issue where mast bend would heavily distort the appearance of another boat in LOD levels 1-5
VMG with respect to the wind wasn't computed correctly
Boat part "Hull" can no longer be selected for attaching hardware items, because hardware is attached to the hull if nothing is selected anyway
Boat parts can be given a custom name which makes it easier to identify them
Added a slider to the boat designer to adjust the vertical position on the deepest point in the sail.
Field minimum sail angle in boat designer no longer accepts negative values
The second and third reef have been raised in all sails with 2 or 3 reefs
Sails would flap in auto trim mode
On some boats it could be hard to ease the windward sheet to allow the sail to come over
Airflow boost between 2 sails would become negative when leech was pulled to tight
When the polars are not being updated, the reason is now shown in the screen
No GPS option was only saved for races, this has been changed to all event types
Race course markers now have a number in the map
Improved the display of race courses and routes. The rump line would disappear when no markers were visible on the map or when the line would wrap around the globe
You can now specify a minimum and maximum nr of sailors per boat. The boat can always be sailed solo, even when the minimum is greater than 1. Instead, the minimum is used for weight of the (imaginary and/or real) sailors during sailing and diminishing provisions. The maximum is used as an actual limitation to prevent having too many sailors on board
When the boat was participating in a sail event that used limited provisions, an error occurred upon loading which prevented the instruments from loading.
Reviews were displayed on top of each other and were not cleared after the review window was closed, causing a bit of a mess when you wanted to read them
Outboard engine used wrong sound files
Made a distinction in the boat popup menu when the GPS is on or off and added a popup message that the boat is no longer shown in the map when the GPS is switched off.
The world edits only loaded the first time the boat entered a region or a region was shown on the map. The next time Sailaway was started, the edits were ignored due to an error in the naming of cache files
Added a popup menu for avatars on board. You can now remove someone from your boat. But beware that this is a harsh method. It is always better to simply ask someone.
Couldn't go backwards with the engines anymore
Telltales now move with the sail when lowered and will stop flapping
Boats would sometimes start to shake when going downwind
Boom would sometimes shake up and down
Sheet of top sails didn't work
Boats with a gaff rig would offer the main outhaul instead of the main sheet to control the sail in "Take it easy" mode
Fixed an error in the update function for boat polars
Fixed problem with pulling foresail
Foresails that were placed under a big angle did not start flap flapping at wider wind angles
The min. angle of the foresails wasn't applied. However, it is usually better to set this angle to 0 in the boat designer and let Sailaway determine the angle of the sail based on the angle of the sheet.
The font files have been extended with Simplified Chinese characters
A left click will no longer deselect a trim line. This makes it easier to pull a line with the mouse. To deselect you need to press the right mouse button or use the ESC key.
Sometimes pictures were not loaded in the screenshot gallery and market place screen
The title of screenshots is now clickable and will open the image in your browser
If the sheet of a self tacking jib was pulled extreem tight, the jib would flip to the windward side
Sheave only blocks would turn towards the pull direction of the line
Lead car blocks weren't tilted in the pull direction of the sheet
When a block is attached to a line that can't be adjusted, the length of that line will remain fixed. Previously it would stretch when the line that was going through the sheave(s) was pulled.
When sailing offline, the Gennaker, Code 0, Genoa, J1, Mizzen staysail and top sails are dropped in strong wind above 15 m/s. The Gennaker, Code 0, Mizzen staysail are also dropped when sailing upwind at TWA less than 50 degrees
Magnetic declination of the autopilot was inversed
The side hulls will now generate more upwards force to make it easier to lift the mid hull out of the water when the boat heels
When a boat was not set to check the supplies status, but still ran out of water before it ran out of food, it would drop the sails, flip the status "Out of food or water" and was ejected from the event it was participating in.
Slide feature for an instrument value definition didn't work
Adjusted the computation of the airflow to prevent strong curved sails (like a gennaker) from being able to sail upwind
Boats had too much heel when sailing very close to the wind
Sail angle as displayed on screen label wasn't always updated correctly for sails with a boom
Changed the computation of the submerged hull volume and avg. level above water surface to exclude the windward hull of a trimaran. This will make trimarans behave more realistic under heel.
Sails will have a shadow effect on each other. This will make it less favorable to hoist all foresails when going downwind.
Sails that are close together will have a small boosting effect on each other when sailing upwind
Pulling one of the sheets when going downwind will flip the foresail to that side.
Tolerance for running a sail on the windward side has been increased and now depends on the type of sail and the curve depth
Weather helm was computed incorrect when sailing downwind
Port hull of a trimaran submerged under heel, while starboard hull did not
Sail trim in Sunbathing mode on port tack was different from starboard tack
The automatic sheet in Sunbathing mode became unstable in certain conditions
The speed to pull sheets and halyard now also depends on the size of the sail, because it took very long to pull the sheet of a very large sail.
Added air resistance to non-raised sails that lay on deck
Solved an issue where a foresail could not be pulled tighter due to an incorrect minimum angle
The minimum rudder pressure when a boat is drifting is reduced and made relative to the force of the wind.
A furler with a trim line would move with the length of the trim line
Due to an artificial sail efficiency value in Sunbathing and Take it Easy modes (auto trim), the boats could sail at very high speeds in a storm. This artificial boost has been removed.
Boats now use a different way to prevent capsizing: the force in the sail is reduced when heel exceeds 45 degrees. This prevents boats from sailing ultra fast in a storm.
When windward sheet is guided around the mast, it is no longer pulled too far backwards if the mast is further back
Level 1 polar data is automatically gathered when the conditions for collecting data are met (see User Guide)
Level 1 polar data can be reduced when data is collected, although this effect is 3 times less than when a higher speed is recorded.
Level 2 polar data is now gathered when explicitly switched on or when the boat is sailing in a race or challenge
Collecting level 2 polar data can also have a negative impact on the polar speed, although this effect is 5 times less than when a higher speed is recorded. The level 2 polar speed can never be less than the level 1 polar.
A text in the screen will show when the boat is collecting data for level 2 polar
Changed the speedat which rudders turn when using the hotkeys or using the scroll wheel. It now uses the duration as set in the boat designer.
Changed the speed at which rudders return to the center. They now use duration as set in the boat designer. When the boat speed is less than the Archimedean hull speed, the rudder will return slower and when it is more (boat is planing) the rudder will return faster.
Gennaker and Code 0 were not recognized as foresails, which resulted in switching the port and starboard barberhaulers
Made Code 0 slightly less deep by default to allow it to be used at smaller AWA. The actual depth can be set in the boat designer and by adjusting the sail wardrobe of your boat
Windex couldn't be positioned but had to be attached to another hardware item instead
Added simple plastic wind vane and long pennant for Dutch transitional boats to the hardware library
Flags can be scaled now
Added warning messages for unrealistic boat design tweaks
Changed the distribution of average tweak values over boats of the same class
Telltale edits weren't shown in the boat designer
Sail min. angle as set in the boat designer was not applied
Line paths for custom deck layouts weren't saved
Added a function to apply a custom deck layout to a boat design and make it the new default setup for all boats
Improved multihull detection in the boat designer
Overlay textures on movable boatparts can no longer use uv mapping by projection. Only the mesh uv is valid
Trampoline outside the hull is no longer incorporated in calculations in boat designer
Hardware and flags are excluded when taking measurements in the boat designer
Unsubscribing from an event with a team or club boat didn't work
Added the option to select multiple boat designs for a sail event
If a boat can't be loaded due to a configuration error, the loading screen will prompt there was an error after a time out period and then open the "My Boats" screen after 20 seconds to allow you to select another boat instead.
Hardware wasn't attached to specific boat parts anymore after copying a boat design
Check if local cached height map is still up to date was incorrect, resulting in unnecessary downloads
Reduced multiplayer messaging frequency when pulling a trim line
When 2 boats of the same design were close together and 1 boat was using a custom sail texture or color, the other boat would have the same texture/color in its sails
Custom telltale parameters weren't applied to the boat
When a navigation light was already on upon loading the boat, any texture on that same mesh was not loaded.
Failed web requests no longer block other web requests while they wait for a retry
Avatar sunk into the deck upon loading boat
Added a review system for boat designs, deck layouts, liveries and instruments
Newline characters were displayed in the text instead of interpreted
Increased mouse scrollwheel speed on Linux
Abandoned attempts (DNF) are no longer listed in the leaderboard of a challenge
When taking the measurements of a boat design, the rudder connection rods were added to the overall length
The position of the avatar on board was flipped in Z direction, meaning that the bow would slightly rise when the avatar moved forward
The black hole shader didn't implement fog
Nearby fog is reduced to improve visibility on board
Texture rotation and uv changes were not passed on to the shader unless the texture itself was also changed
Auto navigation was sometimes switched off upon loading a boat
Night sky was blurry due to large texture mip map streaming
In the old line system it was possible to attach both a line and another hardware item to a hardware slot. This was unintended. In the new line system this bug was no longer present, but some of the existing boat design hardware configurations still used this possibility. This resulted in detached hardware.
Reefed/non-raised sails used a UV map that didn't match the sail
The performance weight break down now shows boat part ids
When the sheet looses tension, the barber hauler block/ring drops to the deck
When the sheet is inactive because the sail is on the other side, the barber hauler ring/block is moved close to the point where it is pulled to.
Position of lead car with pin was not saved to the server
Area of gaff sail was computed wrong
An error occurred when loading the hull mesh was not completed before the navigation lights were switched back to their last recorded state. This caused a time out.
re-implemented the old-style deck collider, to make walking on deck possible on boats that have not been updated to v1.18
added an optional extra deck collider for walking
halyards remain visible when a sail is stored
The line was animated as if being pulled between a clutch and the winch
The position of a railcar with a pin could not be changed
Sail were raised the 1st time you placed them
The avatar always landed in the center of the boat
Reduced the tolerance for moving outside the deck area
Sheet only went around the mast on 1 side
Added the line name [sail] pull tack
Top sail sheet controls the length of the sail bottom again
Moving the clew up in the boat designer, resulted in a a bigger sail area, because the length of the bottom increased, but since the length of the luff also decreased this was incorrect
Changing length and pin radius in the boat designer didn't have any effect on a wrapped line
When you copied a material in the boat designer, it got the same name as the original, which was confusing
The X-close button of cards on the My Boats screen overlapped with the scrollbar
Improved the rotation of blocks in the direction of the line that goes through
Unused blocks will lie on the deck instead of standing upright
Custom navigation lights only responded upon startup but not when switched on/off later
The base size of a rudder connector was not set after you imported a mesh in the boat designer. As a result the rod did not scale properly in the bot designer.
Added access to the financial transactions window to the Info menu
Changed naming of foresails nr1, nr2, nr3, nr4 to J1, J2, J3, J4
Invisible line point always let the lines collide with the deck, even if this was switched off
Winches placed behind a cleat or clutch were not used when the line was being pulled
Trim lines got length 0 when a 2nd sailor came on board
Overlay textures in sails didn't show
The slots of the guiding rings are now named Hole and Ring, to make the difference more clear
A barberhauler only worked if you used a guiding ring, blocks will do the trick as well now
A new hardware item that had been added since Sailaway was started could not be selected by clicking anymore
Line tangled mess always collided with the deck, this is now optional
Attaching a hardware to slot 1 or 2 of a plain rail car didn't work
The wrong side of running backstays was shown in the Q/E menu
In order to set a reef the boat had to be turned into the wind. This is now changed to a wind angle where you can take the pressure from the sail while still being able to reach for the clew at the end of the boom
Transaction history didn't work since 1.17
Tweak value for y position of ballast only had an effect on the moment of inertia, but not on the actual counterweight for heel.
Tweak values for Foil drag and Wind drag had no effect
Ordering on the boat design marketplace now also depends on the price. If a boat is sold for less than the suggested price, the ranking will be pushed back accordingly.
Added instrument values for hour, minute and seconds in UTC time and boat local time
Deck surfaces that have been made obsolete change color in the boat designer
Added a toggle switch in the boat designer to prevent a section of a line from hanging through
Steel material for lines used wrong shader
Changed the computation of the side-distance of the lateral point for foil force, because side foils countered heel too strongly
Boat Designer Tweak values for: "Foil lift", "Overall stability", "Hull speed barrier", "Dive fwd/lean back" had only limited effect or no effect at all.
Added an extra tweak value for adjusting the counter heel force of side foils
When the last recorded length of the halyard was was taken while the sail was raised, and the sail was removed by the offline sailing routine, it would be raised instantly when it was placed.
With 2 or more persons on board, adjusting a line or foil was constantly returned to a previous value because of the round trip: user adjusts to new value -> new value send to other users -> helmsman receives new value -> helmsman sends all values to everyone -> adjusting user receives all values -> currently being changed value is overwritten by an outdated value that originated from himself
Line highlighting didn't work in earlier builds of 1.17
Boats with a center T-foil failed to float due to an internal error
Added a menu option to donate bubbles
Fixed a sign error in computing the pressure in the sail with a tight sheet downwind

The angle of the foresail was incorrect directly after loading
Wait time for loading the sea has been sped up
When attaching hardware items to a boat part, it was only possible to select the first boat part of any type
The traveller and leadcar positions where not adjusted in Sunbathing mode
The selection panel for boat types was positioned under the Edit Event screen
The marketplace for instruments only showed 17 instruments
Avatar was able to move outside the deck area, resulting in camera errors
Incorrectly configured trim lines were flooding the log with error messages
The game would also check if sail event course marks were passed when the mark did not belong to the sail event that the current boat was participating in. (Previously loaded sail event courses)
100% fog has been reduced to a more realistic limited visibility. The sail corners did not apply fog in the newer Unity version anymore and remained fully visible regardless of the distance to the camera
Value for accumulated precipitation that was pulled from the server was incorrect
The instruments on the screen and on the boat would sometimes become empty
When creating a new route by clicking in the map popup menu, the boat stalled and you needed to restart
Manually adding waypoints to a route would sometimes mess up the order of the waypoints
The Add button in the select Trim line panel in the boat designer didn't work
When setting up a barberhauler system, the ring will stay in place or falls on the deck while it doesn't yet have a line that goes through it.
The offline sailing routine used a wrong path to read the height map files. This resulted in water that was always deep enough, even if the boat was at the coordinate of the Mount Everest. When coming online, the boat was suddenly in the middle of dry land
New boats have "Stop sailing when out of provisions" switched off by default
Boats stopped sailing below 3 knots when offline
All trim lines are now handled by a new system
Created a new deck collider. All existing boat designs need to be upgraded. Go to the "Boat Designer, LOD" and click on "Trace deck" to generate the collider. Also check if any existing colliders can be removed from your boat designs
For each trim line section you can specify whether it should collide with the deck. You can do this in the "Boat designer, Lines and Hardware" after you've selected a trim line
You can select the name of a line from a listbox, or overrule it if you want. Overruled line names will not be translated
Tension ratio of a line is now shown in the boat designer
Clutches didn't open when operated
It was not possible to specify a knot or terminal for an invisible line point
Removed "Rounded edge collider" from the hardware library
You can apply a name to a sub mesh in the boat designer materials screen for easy reference
Projection method of main texture was changed to "Project from starboard" as soon as the submesh was selected in the Materials section of the Boat Designer.
In order to reef the sail, you need to turn the boat into the wind now
You can already set a reef in the mainsail when it is placed, but not raised yet
There is a new calculation for the CurveFwd value and for the tension on the luff based on the halyard, cunningham and backstays. A mainsail without a cunningham can have 100% luff tension but only 90% curve fwd. A mainsail with cunningham can no longer ease the luff tension with the cunningham to a value below the already set halyard tension
Querying the magnetic declination on the server returned the wrong results
It is no longer possible to show the AR labels on the screen with the K-key when in non-GPS mode
TWD in sky popup menu showed the angle in -180 - 180 degrees instead of 0-360 deg

When an instrument was deleted from the dashboard the on board display associated with it wasn't cleared
Added checkboxes to manually overrule the application of the post processing effects: Motion blur, Film grain and Vignette. They are switched on by default
When creating a new route by clicking in the map popup menu, the boat stalled and you needed to restart
Manually adding waypoints to a route would sometimes mess up the order of the waypoints
Fixed a display error in the boat polar diagram
Added a warning in the sail offline panel when the auto navigation is set to AWA

When the auto navigation was changed to, the angle not correctly changed according to the new setting, causing the boat to change course
Fixed font size of instruments on larger displays
Publishing a tutorial didn't work
Changing the order of tutorial steps would delete the step instead
The edit buttons in the My Boats screen are now disabled for boats that have joined a sail event
The Teleport to Start line button is disabled when the boat has started

The volume of the chat message can be adjusted separately
Added upscaling slider to the video settings. Use this to boost rendering performance if needed
Changed the text on the Sailor details window
Applied a max number of geographic names that will be rendered on the map
Added a limitation to the nr of control labels on screen. If there are multiple people on board and everyone is adjusting a trim line, the screen would be filled with these labels.

Prepared for use of new server setup
Added a halyard and furl control to the Q/E menu for sails with a furler
A non-raised mainsail would flip back and forth very fast in certain sail modes
Font size of instruments was scaled too big on larger screen resolutions
It was not possible to undo the purchase of an instrument and the refund button was covered by the scrollbar of the financial transactions window
The function to show a boat on the map for event organizers did not work
Weather is downloaded for boat coordinates instead of camera coordinates
If downloading the data for a mesh fails, an empty mesh will be used instead to prevent that loading the rest of the boat will fail as well
It was very hard to keep a trimaran in irons in order to raise the mainsail
Fixed an error in ordering the display of instruments on board
After editing your own boat in the boat designer and returning to the boat, the sails were no longer displayed
Instruments were not immediately available on the dashboard after buying them
Reduced the increase of water drag when the boat heels over for relatively narrow boats (like the J-Class)
Boats in the map didn't always turn green when the boat was in the same sail event as you
The position of the avatar/camera would be far away from the boat after you edited the appearance or deck layout of your boat the last time you were online

Rain value as read from grib files is in accumulated mm per 6 hours, but was treated as a 0-1 value
Changed sail materials on your boat were not loaded if the boat design didn't already contain sail material settings
The database table that holds the best practice per boat design for which sails are raised and reefed is only updated when a boat's speed is more than 90% of the boat design polar value. The combination that has the best results is used for offline sailing
Sails are only changed during offline sailing when:
the TWA changes more than 20 degrees
or the TWS changes more than 25%
and there is a best practice for sails raised/reefed present for the current TWA/TWS combination.
In all other situations the last used sails will remain as they were even if the boat encounters a hurricane.
