Hi Royagui,

You shouldn't have to register on the VLM website when you use QtVLM with a "real" boat (instead of a VLM boat).

Can you read the error message, or does the program close too fast? I'd be very helpful to find out what the error message says.

I know a couple of other routers but QtVLM is a very good one (at least for virtual sailing it is), don't give up on it just yet :)

Whats the method to get your SOL yacht to feed positions into QTLVM? Found the TCP/IP proxy from brainaid, but it looks like QtLMV only supports serial. Is there a tool to emulate, and can it be done? Thanks

Viva Kipper1258.

I use the Franson GpsGate 2.6 program, namely, for sending NMEA data over TCP/IP to qTVlm, (http://gpsgate.com/support/client_users_guide).
It has also other useful functions.

Next one for our experts out there. What's the technique to add a second real boat to qtLVM? All I seem to be able to do is delete my existing boat. Thanks

I've tried that once. QtVLM seems to have some options for multiple boats, but I couldn't get it to work, so I used the method some other QtVLM user was using: installing multiple instances of QtVLM... I'm not sure how (if at all) that works with NMEA data and ports and all...

Viva kipper and Huib.

QtVlm dosen't allow more than 1 "real boat" sailing at the same time. Anyhow it permits to have "n" different boats ("n" different boats polar data) but all with the same name.
So the AIS function dosen't work for following the other boats. Only your own boat via the TCP/NMEA link.

With OpenCPN you have both options. A routing prog to look for.

Be well.

I notice qtLVM can load marks in ZyGrib or GeoData format. Anyone know what these formats are. I use two computers in different locations and want to be able to load my marks into each one through a single file.I can't seem to find a reference to what the file looks like

Thanks in advance

Just found poiReal.dat which appears to store all the POI's. I think I can maintain a master copy on one computer and overwrite on the other.

Just tested copying poiREAL and works - it also contains the routes and barriers which is a bonus.

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
