Under much pressure from all the ACA fans I have decided to release the version 1.9 even though the windshadow upgrades from Hans are not included in this version. So here it is the much awaited ACA v1.9.
Note: Coming soon on Nov 15th the 2.0 with windshadow upgrades and scripts saved in mono to reduce lag.

the Americas Cup races are heating up, I am staying up real late (although having a nap during the day) to watch the racing live in SL. That’s right live video feeds direct from inside SL.
Americas Cup business partner Alcatel-Lucent, who provide live video feeds from the sailing venues over the internet have also established an SL presence. Not only that but they have also developed an SL version of the AC boat.

click me! The Americas Cup Anywhere Sim in Second Life is a representation to the Americas Cup Port in Valencia Spain and house a marina for SL’s Flying Tayko fleet for Skippers taking part in the ACA Virtual Cup. Also on display is the AC fleet, a great race course and a number of places to view info about the Cup and a video wall showing the live video feeds from Alcatel-Lucent. I have been there for the Cup finals, and it’s great to be able to talk to like minded sailing buffs as it all takes place. The site was built by Florencia007 Csak and her team from 9th.com who have built a superb sim.

The America’s Cup Goes Virtual in Second Life
Labels: Populists
I haven’t written about sailing and the virtual world Second Life much lately but I still go on (as avatar Lex Lian) and take the occasional virtual sail in the always perfectly placid waterways of SL. But recent news of the America’s Cup being extended into Second Life prompted today’s post…the photos above are of the not yet released ACA32 Racer. The dots in the cockpit are “poseballs” that allow the crew to get into position (mast, trim, grinding, bow, etc) and in the first shot you can see me posing up the mast. Needless to say the design and script work (code that makes the boats sail) have been developed by some of Second Life’s preeminent sailors and virtual yacht architects. There is a virtual regatta planned using widely available dinghy’s (called Takos) and the final eight winners of this regatta will match race the ACA32 Racers.
But that’s not all! Alcatel-Lucent, the official new media provider for the 32nd America’s Cup, has extended its new media coverage of the event to the virtual world. As part of its America’s Cup Anywhere program a “New Media Agency” called 9th.com has been contracted to build a virtual presence named Port AmericasCupAnywhere in order to bring the 32nd America’s Cup to Second Life.
