	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. Sail Fair.

	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. Sail Fair.

	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. --- Last Edited by Kipper1258 at 2015-07-28 03:22:23 ---

This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
