    Kipper - just so you know: I installed and ran AGL23_1_5. Without making any adjustments, everything seems fine except that the land masses are simply outlines (no fill). That is what I expected, I think?

    Thanks again for sharing your work (and genius!).

    Hey Kipper - just back from several months off, and noticed the new AGL version. Are there compelling new features that would make me want to switch? I use a laptop that probably does not have the advanced graphics I see being discussed.

    Thx.

    Hey Kipper - B1 here - back from 6 months on a desert island :)

    Having trouble with the new(?) DC table button. Won't open the standard CSV file from QT - keeps reopening the file selector window. (Worse - I've lost my bookmark to the webbased file converter I used to use :( !) Hope you can help!

    Ed

    UPDATE: Kipper, check the screen shot attached. For some reason the file picker is showing files that don't exist - note the file dates - some from two years ago!!! Further, the same error occurs in each of the other File picker windows. Non-existent files dated in 2022.

  • What happened to the server on 7/2/2022?!?
    Board » Technical Support
    The PIC insurance race stalled at 10:57 UTC - no boats moving, no DC's firing. The only thing working was Chat. Could we have an explanation?

    B1 missed the finish line, but took 5 hours in real time to get back because of this.

    I would concur. The very long races are appealing for those of us who are unable to give 100% attention to SOL because, well, life happens.

    As to this specific proposal, why not make it two races - out and back, as the old China and East India company ships did. Should be timed for the same seasons they sailed in those days to take advantage of monsoon winds, etc. Maybe some pirates to make it interesting? :)

    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

    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.

    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:
    -------------------------------------------

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
