Skills increase faster in a 12-minute heat than a 6- or 3-minute heat.
If your current skill for a disciplin is below 50 percent, it will also increase with sailing time.
Above 50 percent, only performance counts, but also your skill will decrease automatically by approximatively 1 percent every other day.
Skills are registered online and can be seen on your profile (https://www .windsurfing-the-game.com/profile/).

HEAT

NETWORK GAMING

The chat can be activated through pressing the ENTER key. A network game can host up to 20 players and 20 spectators. Only players can participate to heats, spectators are visible only as simple camera for other players. Spectators have a modified camera on mast and shoulder mode for better viewing.
A network game consists of one server and many clients. The server is mandatory and decides the weather, the sea conditions and only he is able to start a heat.
However, clients playing in a different location than the one of the server are not affected by the server’s choices.
When a server is started, a notification is sent over email to the users who switched on this function inside the settings. Playing network games can require setting up port 27015, both for the firewall and on the router (forward port 27015 to your computer). A test button is available in the game to be able to test the connection. Here is an example of forwarding port 27015 on a router (TCP & UDP):

SETTINGS

You can set the language inside the settings window, as well as your nickname, name on sail and email address. Through entering an email address, scores will be automatically sent to the website at the end of a heat.
The tutorial and the automatic score submission can also be disactivated here. The automatic email notification for network games can also be set here.
Inside the Graphics and Sound window it is possible to set the detail level, which automatically sets itself to low if the framerate falls below 30 images/second. If you set it back to high then, the automatic fitting will be disactivated. However, the physics could not work correctly any more. Shadows can be set here, as well as the small interface, the number of extra windsurfer and the camera distance.
Sound and music can be set here, too. If you wish to use your own music, replace the original files in the game directory, but respect the necessary format wav/mono/44100Hz!
Settings can be saved.
