Did you ever wonder why you cannot change course conditions in first run?
Today I would like to explain some competitions/courses concepts.Virtual-O has two different types of courses. Local and Online.
Local
Online
Please note that re-run result wouldn't be uploaded to cloud. As only first run offers fair conditions for all players.Here is screenshot of selected course which is ready to perform your first run. It has status Ready and type Online. Conditions are greyed out as they are read-only.
In second screenshot I have selected course where only Re-run is available. Its status is Rerun and type Online. Conditions are now editable.
Update version 0.8.6219.31385 released
Change log
Made map render texture little darker to avoid overexposed yellow on Lada.
Increased punching radius from 1m to 1.2m
Added mouse smoothing to Game Options
Added saving of filtering options in course list
Fixed missing course condition level labels in some resolutions.
Fixed exception when focusing on next leg that doesn't exists
Support for map and compass in right hand
Added cancelling of asynchronous downloading of course replays when quitting from course replay screen.
Fixed issue with stuck course conditions. It could happen when you have already selected an row in course list. And than navigated back to menus.
Default value of mouse smoothing is 40. It's smoothing mouse input over 10 frames. If you will set it to 0 just raw mouse input will be used but that can introduce jerky movement depends on your configuration. Some players prefer raw input in games like CS so now you have this option if you want.
First lesson of orienteering in Virtual-O?
I'm incredibly proud of Virtual-O after watching this video from Emil. I really feel essence of orienteering in it.
Imagine how crucial could it be to experience lesson like this before your first orienteering adventure.

Update version 0.8.6211.42592 released
Change log
Added loading replays progress info in percentage in Course Replay
Fixed movement tail duplication bug.
Added Punched Control Number to punching text
Fixed exception when clicked on control that is in actual map event but not in actual course that is replayed. Now searching for nearest control when you are selecting control for mass start or split analysis is performed only in actual course controls. (before it was searching in all map event controls)
Added full text search for course list.
Added disciplines filtering in course list.
Added difficulty filter.
Fixed bug that only first 50 competitions were downloaded. Now 80 competitions already exists...
Well good news is that you will have 30 new competitions to play today
New default controls mapping was introduced
New default controls mapping was introduced in latest version of Virtual-O.
Now you can handle map just with mouse without keyboard. So WASD keys are now free like FPS players are used to.
No more confusion for first time players.
Here is default mapping:
W - forward running, QE map rotation, left mouse button + mouse = map movement, right mouse button + mouse = map rotation
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO PRESS BUTTON RESTORE DEFAULTS IN INPUT SCREEN TO APPLY THIS DEFAULT MAPPING.

Update version 0.8.6209.500 released
Mouse based map handling is now set as default in Input mapping.
W - forward running, QE map rotation, left mouse button + mouse = map movement, right mouse button + mouse = map rotation
YOU WILL NEED TO PRESS BUTTON Restore Defaults IN Input SCREEN TO APPLY THIS DEFAULT MAPPING if you already played the game.
(not needed to do for new players or if you don't want to change your controls)
Major changes:
Added mouse based map movement and rotation. So you can now handle map with mouse only if you want. Added two key modifiers which if they are hold pressed will disable mouse for camera look and
they will toggle map movement or rotation. You can map them in Input like you want:
Mouse Map Movement Modifier
Mouse Map Rotation Modifier
Changed default Input mapping
W - forward running, QE map rotation, left mouse button + mouse = map movement, right mouse button + mouse = map rotation
YOU WILL NEED TO PRESS BUTTON Restore Defaults IN Input SCREEN TO APPLY THIS DEFAULT MAPPING.
Initiating download explicitly after subcribing. (will make downloading of competitions/courses much more responsive)
Change log:
Fixed EA warning message overflow for different aspect ratios.
Changed fences collider height from 3m to 4m (to avoid some edge cases when you were able to go through fences)
Now deleting local competition file in course builder
Added deleting of old competition file when renaming. Competitions are saved when competition is renamed.
Added Yes No messages to all delete buttons in course builder (competition, map event, course) that will ask you if you are really sure. And describe what will be deleted.
In course replay player's replay is now selected and visible as default. (and scrolled to it when needed) Re-run replay now has specific postfix so you can recognize it from first-run online replay.
Fixed bug with duplicate replays in first run.
If Hidden Map Handling is disabled mouse based map handling is not blocking camera movement when map is not visible.
Updated tutorial to support mouse based map movement.
Updated tutorial to support mouse based map rotation.
