Ratings and Reviews
VRace for free with a fleet within the fleet
I’m in close agreement with eastheadboy, having VRaced a handful of times since stumbling upon the app’s 2019 Sydney-Hobart. I don’t compete to win at any cost and contentedly allow that I’ll not finish amongst those that do (or are just much better Tacticians or Navigators). But there are pelotons in pursuit of the breakaway leaders. I race against a growing number of familiar monikers in those - although I know them not from Adam - with the objective of beating my peers and finishing as well as I can in the top 5% of the fleet. The app could certainly improve further, is a tad flakey and features unstable rankings between the several views, but which approximate the genuine articles adequately. Checking the forecast and selecting a sail wardrobe on a points budget to match it at the dock adds a dash of useful realism too. Having been fortunate enough to crew on many such races in the past, lack of automation and the need to interrupt my working day or for a few awakenings in the small hours to gybe or change sails are FAR more comfortable than actually pulling on damp Musto’s or the prospect of 5 days sat on a rail with a face full of spray and a shouty owner.
Good armchair sailing, but could be better
This app is absorbing. I havnt worked out all the features yet, and instructions are sparse! Adding in tides as well as wind as well as the need to not hit others would improve the reality. However, you can play for free if you want to, accumulating enough points to ‘buy’ the extras if you want. Overall a good game. Initially, there were no adverts but in the last few days, a large number have appeared just when you are trying to work out course changes. Frustrating, but I am playing for free
Mostly Good
The game is plagued with “Connection” issues. Logging in can be a problem and remains a problem on 4G or Wifi. When you log in and select a race, the program loads a 3D representation of your boat, very pretty but totally useless. It then loads a history of your track and that then plays as a short film. Finally after all that, you can control your boat. If you have three races ongoing and check your boat frequently, watching the tedious graphics every time, trying to click through to exit, is very frustrating and is a waste of my time. The game is Pay to Win. It is free to play, but to be contesting near the front you will have to pay for better sails and equipment. I will pay occasionally if it is a big race, but you will need deep pockets to pay for every race. It is not cheap. Overall a good game, that allows you to compete against some very talented and dedicated “sailors.” The App is regularly updated, and the game interface has improved. It can still be clunky but for the regular player it needs to be streamlined for better ease of use. Please fix the connection problems.
