    Re: AGL 25 Issues
    Board » Technical Discussion
    Slowly getting there but with a couple of issues.
    Having put DC path int ini, I am only able to get the DC table if the date/time in QT = Day Month. But that produces the following in the control table:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field "init" because "this.sg" is null
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.ShowDCRoute(DCDataTableAP.java:1327)

    Exception in thread "Thread-8" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.runWith(Unknown Source)
    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

    Then although I can post the DC table data to the DC window, I can then not action any button including setting them. I can only delete the DCs by Delete button on keyboard and cannot open a new DC table.

    If date in QT is set to Month Day, I get window that says that there is no DC data in the file. However all buttons work.

    Koppyer's method of copy /paste only works in date in QT is set to Day Month.

    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry that it sounds long winded.

    Sorry Kipper but I am using 25_2_7 and I have removed the lines:
    # DC file
    DCFile=....
    On restarting AGL, I did not get a prompt for a file.

    In the Command screen I get:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:

    I have checked correct date/time format and even named the route as route.csv from QT

    I also have the same message when trying to open the DC table.
    Where can I find the ini file?

    Hi Kipper.
    I have downloaded 14_3_6 full but when I copy AG14_pause.bat and AG14.bat into my race folder and then run AG14_pause.bat I get this in the cmd. Folders have been checked correct. Any ideas?

    Thank you Andrew.
    14_1_0_1.jar now downloaded and working well. I will look into getting a new graphics card. I will just have to be careful with PL.

    Still no joy Andrew.
    I downloaded 14.2.1 Version (without maps).
    Carefully carried out install instructions.
    It loads but with same Pointer exceptions.
    As well as greyed out "Current Boat Date" tab, the Mayday respondents and AIS contacts are also greyed out.
    It may be due to my PC not being able to use Open GL.
    Is it possible to provide a link to the previous version files? That worked with Use "Open GL Engine" not selected.
    Regards
    Dave

    I have no Current Boat data tab. Unable to add AIS Boat List. No display of DCs with PL loss.
    Unable to set DCs, therefore unable to refresh DCs in game.

    There’s no range limit. As long as it it to port. When Cape Breton bears 291deg it is rounded. For Killiniq it is 227deg.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
