> chmod +x generate-launchers.sh 
> ./generate-launchers.sh 
generated AG.sh and AG_no_ini.sh with
absolute paths, you can safely copy or move
the files elsewhere
> cat AG.sh 
java -jar /home/huib/sol/ag_x_y_z.jar
autoGribLoader.ini ag_x_y_z.jar
> cat AG_no_ini.sh 
java -jar /home/huib/sol/ag_x_y_z.jar
ag_x_y_z.jar
Would this work? It's a slightly different approach I think.

EDIT file contains a typo: "more" instead of "move", but it needs editing anyway

I discovered a small bug in this Version 2.5.5 which has an adverse affect on the server and will cause the application to crash if there are no boats in the AIS list. If you have already downloaded, please re-download and replace autoGribLoader 2 5 5.jar file with the one in this zip file. Version 2.5.5
There appears to be an issue with the latest qtVlm release where the course waypoints are not being loaded into qt. The work around is to import the gpx file <race_id>_course_waypoints.gpx that is created in the polar folder.

EDIT: You need to check "Treat RMB messages (WP)" at the bottom of the NMEA Tab in qT. Solution from Bimmer.

Kipper: It would be really useful to be able to log data for all boats or perhaps just those selected for AIS display. Last year psail and I used hmmm's logs to do some post-race analysis on the 2016 Mel-2-Osaka race but unfortunately hmmm's site is no longer available.
Version 2.5.6 is now available and has the following enhancements
1. Added ability to create a log file of AIS boats data (dtayls request)

Bug fixes – 2.5.6
1. Fixed localisation issues with the creation of polar files

Thank you so kindly Kipper.
I'm still amazed how good your tool is :-))
Version 2.5.7 is now available and has the following enhancements:

1. Ability to load exported qtVlm detailed routes (gpx format) as additional course waypoints in the DC Checker
2. Highlights DC’s where performance loss minimisation is possible
3. Current TWA on Current Boat Data tab will highlight when the twa is outside the maximum VMG ranges
4. Boat Data Table will only show boats that have not finished. Fixes the problem with multiple boats showing in timed races
5. Reorganised the window title to allow better identification of race and important data.

Bug fixes – 2.5.7

1. Various bug fixes with corrupt or partial downloads of server data.
2. Issues with loading gpx data.
Version 2.5.7p1 is a patch need to handle the missing tilemap tag in the race information xml. DC Checker won't work in the Twisted Race unless this version is installed.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
