The start must be made in the VR interface, not in eSail4VR.
What you have to do:
- Perform the routing in eSail4VR and choose the departure time: on a record race whose boat has not started yet, the red “+” button opens the “Record start time” window. Choose a start time in the list and tap “Routing”. The “Best starts” button opens the web page of the best starts for this record, when it is available.
- Manually set the first heading in the VR interface.
- At the time selected, “Start an attempt” in VR.
- Once the first position has been received in eSail4VR, redo the routing and send it.
