Hi Kipper,
Any idea why I get this error for NOAA file? I have seen this for a while when I have NOAA checked and set for 16 days.

Freyja, you need to google the exception and see what could possibly be causing it. I have no idea and it does not happen to me. Looks like a security issue of some form.
Kipper, I'm getting a similar NOAA error:

Getting NOAA file gfs.t12z.pgrb2.1p00.f009 returned error javax.net.ssl.SSLException.

Trying again in 60 seconds (URL=https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_gfs_1p00.pl?file=gfs.t12z.pgrb2.1p00.f009&lev_10_m_above_ground=on&var_UGRD=on&var_VGRD=on&subregion=&leftlon=176&rightlon=293&toplat=39&bottomlat=-41&dir=%2Fgfs.20210406%2F12%2Fatmos)

Might be some information here, but it's way over my head:

Kipper, I'm getting an error in just one race (Pac6) when attempting to load the graphical chart... the program freezes, and can only be closed by closing the command window. DCs will load to the server, but can't be manipulated (eg. applying PL, etc).

Here's the error code from the command window:
-------------------------------------------

Update... I deleted Maps folder, restarted, no change. Then deleted all AGL folders, restarted, no change. Then restarted with a different race, everything is fine. Repeated everything in another race folder. Same results.
Can you please replace your copy of the attached file with this one and try again.

If that works, the main maps library is corrupt. You need to download maps.zip from OneDrive and then delete the maps folder from the Java14 folder. Unzip the maps.zip into the Java14 folder. You should see a new maps folder when done.
Kipper, I mostly use AGL to refine QT routes by importing into AGL via Kroppyer's conversion website and running DC conditioning and adding in Performance Loss. Today I was trying to learn more about adding and editing Waypoints directly in AGL. There seem to be some gaps in the Manual:
--I don't understand how to convert an edited WP to DC's as pictured in the manual.
--When I click on almost any button along the top of the graphics window after editing a WP, the whole app crashes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions or additional documentation? If easier, you can communicate with me at ed@careofcreation.org
There has been a change to the raceinfo file on the server which is causing AGL to crash on DC checking. This is happening in the Buenos Aires to Punta del Este race, and I am not sure how long it will continue. The fix is to edit the auth_race_info file in the SOLGrib xml folder, and do the following:
1. Shut down AGL.

2. Add the line

<tilemap>i</tilemap>

after the line <maxlat>-33.0</maxlat>

You will need to check the resolution of the maps on the Misc tab. Use <tilemap>i</tilemap> for intermediate, <tilemap>h</tilemap> for high resolution.

3. Save and close the file
4. Go into the maps folder and delete any files in there.
5. Restart AGL

If you still have a blank graphics screen on checking DCs, delete the file autoGribLoader.ini. You will unfotunately lose all your settings, and will need to reconfigure AGL.

I have attached a working copy of the auth_race_info file for this race.


Here's the file (did not work last time)

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell.

Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
