eSail4VR Guide

This guide describes eSail4VR feature by feature. Each page starts with the essentials (what the feature is for and the gestures to know), then goes further: every setting, special cases, how it works.

The beginner path only shows the pages needed to get started; the expert path gathers the whole guide, including the app’s Expert mode (isochrones, pivot points, following the course). For a specific question or a problem, see the FAQ.
