Thank you ,both maitai & Bimmer for the incredible interest, co-operation & work done! IMHO, the greatest improvement was linking SOL wind - we sail with the wind SOL gives us, I believe...
Again, thank you both for this great router

Ok. Problem solved with the patch 1.

Thank you Philipe.
Sail Fair.
And again, I want to thak you, Joao, for spotting the errors and mistakes so early :-) Keep up the good work. It is VERY much appreciated.
I believe we have a problem with exporting the .csv file. I get this from kroppyers converter:

ERROR: Time conversion failed, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find TWA values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find COG values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
TWA:

Which csv are you speaking about?
Viva all.

The “problema” - if we can call it like that - was the addition of an extra column (“GUSTS”) in the generated CSV file after the release of the 3.5.6 qT version.
Once again, as already suggested, it should be possible to customize the columns to be generated in the output CSV file.
IMHO there are #12 columns in the CSV file that we don’t need at all, and only contribute to heavier files.
Sail Fair.
When you have a problem with the converter, please send me the csv file that is causing the problem, then I can have a look at what may be causing the issue.
Otherwise, all I can do is guess:
Does the csv use a different kind of separator? e.g. "," instead of ";" (I believe it used to be ";", but I'm not sure, maybe it used to be ",")
It's 5mn to record a small excel macro that will get rid of the columns you don't want each time you load it.
C’mon Phillipe,

Generate first to remove after doesn’t make much sense.

Can you explain me why do we need to have these columns: Sail/Engine, SOG, COG, AWS, AWA, CS, CD, GUSTS, RAIN, COMB WAVES HGT, MAX WAVES HGT and last, MAX WAVES DIR?

Wouldn’t it be more logical/practical/quicker to each one have the possibility to choose the route output columns?

Thank you.
Sail Fair.
These data were asked from people who are using qtVlm IRL. Rain for instance has been the subject of a big debate in the past month (how to count it), or waves, currents, etc. Recently gusts and pressure were also requested and added. One can also imagine air/sea temperature, cloud cover, dew point, pollution, and much more. We will therefore probably continue to add more columns. It's easier to ignore data you don't care about than to look after them if you need it. Size of the file is not an issue, being between really small and just small.

Actually, there is a bug in headers when you ask a route export with raw data. I don' want to push a new patched version for PC now (Android and iOS versions have been patched already), but if you need a working version with raw data export just tell me. That bug existed also in 535 version.

Philippe

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
