VORG 2011 - How to add boat data

[zander]

HI Omar,
I just got the boat data to work using httpFox and plug-me* in the tmp folder (in my XP ...\Temp\plugtmp\).

Great work again, Omar. Now I'm back where I was in the previous VORG.
Thnx

I am using FF 8 apparently...no luck at all importing boat data

Have you tried to install and activate httpFox? (not sure this works for FF8)

I've got FF8 and it does work.

BTW. Omar, you've probably noticed that in addition to the plugin-me* "LESS" messages there are also
plugin-8* "MORE" messages which contain also information about the boats you follow.

Have you got any intention to include those messages in future versions?

all the best,
/C

- I have more than one boat..

The data imported is from the currently selected boat in the game app.
If you switch to another boat, make sure you switch back to
your main boat. If you keep changing boats and don't switch
back, your track will mix points from the two boats. A mess..
Note that updates start 10 min after the switch...

Great.

in addition to the plugin-me* "LESS" messages there are also "MORE" messages

I'm using LESS because it is the one with periodic updates. The "MORE" file is only loaded
when you refresh the page.

Hi Omar
Friends and other boats are showing in VRTools. But if I point on these boats, in the Boat attitude there is just the wind-direction and the course of these boats. No Boat-speed, no wind-angle and no VMC is shown.
Is this normal or have I done something wrong ??

[omar]

But if I point on these boats.. no Boat-speed, no wind-angle and no VMC is shown

You're right. Friends data is incomplete.

Just to give you hope, I'm working with FF8 and getting al the data in.
using cache path: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\
I'm also on XP.

Hi Omar,
First let me thank's for your great tool, I used it at last VORG with success and help me a lot! This year I came back and read all your forum to try make it work. But after many different ways found here I still without making my VRTOOL importing files from FF. Ok, I'm using FF 3.6 and XP, already install httpfox, but seems he is not working.I look for another tool, Cache Viewer, install it, and after I discover the location folder from me* files. Put the address at your import tool, but no files founded
I try save the files in another place but still not working. I read here, people with the same config I'm using having success. I'm already change my config firewall but still without read
Do you have an idea about the route I should take? I'm sinking with my to make it work!
Thank's again.

I tried importing for Firefox 8 (with windows XP netbook) and it worked.
I had to install and activate HttpFox.
Tip: The interface changed in recent FFox versions but httpFox shortcut Shift-F2 still works
