You are speaking about VMG or VBVMG?

VMG calculations in qtVlm are rounded to the nearest degree, if I remember well.

We are not familiar with VBVMG, can you explain or link us to an explanation?

Sebensa is simply referring to the angle a that gives the maximal/minimal value for boatspeed(a)*cos(a). If it's rounded to the nearest degree, QtVLM can be off by enough-to-loose-some-distance in some cases. If you want integer VMG angles, I would suggest you calculate the VMG=boatspeed(a)*cos(a) for the two nearest integer values of the optimal angle, and choose the one with the best VMG. This will be at least as good as rounding to the nearest integer value.

Happy new year to all

In short, VBVMG consists in doing ortho when possible, and polar best-VMG-Wind when it is not.

We have the same formula for VMG (hopefully). The values are precalculated with a precision of 0.1 kts for TWS and 0.1° for TWD.

2017-01-05 05:17:23 - Enhancement Request - auto delete of route waypoints when passed
I have an enhancement request. Would it be possible to automatically delete route waypoints that are "passed"? For a route that is connected to the boat, a waypoint is considered "passed" when the angle between boat COG and the bearing to the next waypoint in the route exceeds 90 degrees. That is, you are now going away from the waypoint, and no longer towards it.

The reason I ask is that quite often, I find an older routing , after deleting passed waypoints and re-optimising, is faster than a newly created one. If you have six or seven routes alive, it takes quite a while to update them all with each new Wx.

Thanks

Viva Philippe.

Good afternoon.

A small issue with Grib files merging.

I’ve loaded in Slot 1 the Grib file “TEcnLLTTOoSYmtRzKDl0e75I4HAjqDApvb6.grb” and in Slot 2 the Grib file “TEcnLLTTOoSYmtRzKDl0e75I4HAjqqDApvx.grb”.

After I’ve merged the two files in the file “GRIB MARINE, 07.01.2017.grb”.

If I load separately both files in Slots 1 and 2 I get it correct.

But if I load the merged file, only the lower part of the (merged) Grib is shown.

What is the problem?

Thank you.

João / psail

Viva all,

Good afternoon.

Last qT version (5.4.7) when we close it, it crashes (with or without GPS on).
It is an issue that already happened. After it was solved and, came back again on the last release.

Any suggestion to avoid this, pls.

Thank you

No crash here, and I don't have any reports like that from other users so far. Can you send me your qtVlm files (*.dat, *.ini) please?

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
