Simulator Integration

The SAP Sailing Simulator, as can be seen, e.g., here, has a number of features that could nicely be integrated with the SAP Sailing Analytics. For example, at any point in a tracked race the user could ask the simulator for its prediction of the optimal course and then compare that to the course actually sailed.

Next steps:

• make simulation available as overlay on sailing analytics referring to the currently selected leg
• visualize ladder rungs, i.e. advantage line plus intermediate isochrones in distance-steps or time-steps
• use multiple wind sources to derive a spatially resolved wind field and use it in calculation of ladder rungs and simulation of courses
• extreme sailing series as test environment for simplified wind measurement units and approaches to operate multiple wind sources during a regatta on boats and marks
