Ideally the wind shifts would be visual in some way. If the water was in any way different? In VR inshore , the cell phone game, they have three arrows on the left middle and right that indicate wind direction. They all three move somewhat independently but are related as a wind shift blows across the course. In general I think it's good though.

What are your thoughts on shifts? Can we move this to done? Is there a specific change/improvement you would like to see?

We have now wind shadows ( initial implementation ) in multiplayer. Looking forward to your feedback. You can see upcoming multiplayer races here: https://www.marineverse.com/marineverse-cup/manage-race-rsvps

When would you have them take effect, as at the moment the boats are not "hard". For me this seems to indicate the use of opaque boats and collision rules. This also means that the early bird will catch the wind advantage. Not necessarily a bad thing as consistancy of track and surroundings is not a given in maany other sports
