Chart Viewer

Chart Viewer 

The Vsk Revolution Chart Viewer is a tactical tool designed to display the static wind flow, tidal flow, and wave height patterns for the 14 standard locations used in Vsk5. Unlike the Tropical and Nordic locations, the patterns for the 14 standard locations remain constant and cannot be modified in the Track Editor, making this tool essential for strategizing races.

1. Navigating the Interface

• Dropdown Selection Menus:

  • Location Dropdown – Select one of the 14 available racing locations.

• • Category Dropdown – Choose between:

    • Winds (wind flow direction patterns)

    • Tides (tidal flow direction patterns)

    • Waves (wave height and direction patterns)

• • Direction Dropdown – Allows you to select different directions depending on the category.
    
    

2. Viewing the Charts

• Once a location, category, and direction are selected, the corresponding chart will be displayed.

• The chart provides a visual representation of the chosen condition at that location.
  
  

3. Interactive Features

• Zooming: Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

• Panning: Click and drag to move the chart around.

• Resetting: To change locations or categories, simply select a new option from the dropdown menus.
  
  

4. How to Use the Charts for Racing Strategy

• Wind Charts: Help you anticipate shifts and plan tacking strategies.

• Tidal Charts: Show how currents will impact your boat’s speed and heading.

• Wave Charts: Help you adjust your sail trim and boat handling based on wave height and direction.

Track Viewer (In Development)

View more localized wind flow, tidal flow, and wave height patterns specific to the track, offering more focused insights than the location charts.

A full working version will be released soon.
