After adding land masses with harbors, it would be great to zoom in or out on the boat's EFB (chart). Users can teleport boats worldwide.

Global Sailor: Could you add NMEA 2000 so we could connect plotters and instruments for global sailing? Background is that we could use it for teaching electronic charting. And with AIS we could see other vessels… We are working with GPS and AIS Simulation that we could extend to VR then. Even radar would be possible. ( https://www.sailsoft.nl/ais_simulator.html ) With GRIB files we could add historical and actual weather patterns to train weather routing… What do you think? 😊 Ahoi from Germany ! Christian

In real life, wind shifts are not predictable and wind speeds vary over a course. The recent tournament head to head races have demonstrated the issue. Basically, a reasonably experienced sailor can always win the race if they get the better start. Once around the first mark, so long as they react to the moves of the opponent and don’t make any mistakes, they cannot lose. A solution is to have many many more wind shifts, but maybe smaller and less predictable shifts as well as different wind speeds on different parts of the course - all of which to be produced at random. In addition see https://marineverse.canny.io/marineverse-cup/p/wind-shifts-1 regarding the amount of wind shift available (asking for greater than 30 degrees either way).

set the y button on your controller to open spinnaker, and to let spinnakers have more angle, as you can also have it open on a downwind reach.

Adding markers and route line with direction and distance in current globe map tool so the use of OpenCPN is not required for basic sailing.

Provide the extra sail control lines. Accurately visualise an impact of different control line settings. Accurately simulate sailing physics in different wind strengths depending on the sail shape.

Can we have a spinnaker to launch on downwind runs (and retrieve

Running dead downwind, a common sail configuration is 'wing on wing' with jib and main on opposite sides. Even sometimes on broad reaches like 150degrees. I have not figured out if this is possible, how to pull the main over to the opposite side of the jib.
