2018-11-11 11:14:47 - $GPWPL NMEA sentences are ignored if there are special characters in WP name
These waypoints are not displayed in qtVlm when these NMEA sentences are sent through.

$GPWPL,5950.057,N,01909.176,E,Villösan*F4
$GPWPL,6011.224,N,01926.018,E,Töllingarna*92
$GPWPL,5948.833,N,01947.200,E,Flötjan*87
$GPWPL,5952.224,N,01905.144,E,Simpnäs Pir*FD

It appears to be related to the extended character set being used. Remove the ö from the name and it works fine.

Good point Kipper,
In the Nordic we use 3 caracters not found international, and we translate them as follows:

æ/ä = ae
ø/ö = oe
å/å = aa

Would be fine if SRC avoid theese caracters in the future.

2018-12-11 11:11:14 - AWS and AWA goes to zero in route logbook when grib view in the future
To reproduce, do the following.
1. Set grib time to now.
2. Edit route and check route logbook. AWA and AWS are fine. Close editor.
3. Select a route waypoint and set grib date, or step forward (I was using 5 min increments)
3. Edit the route and check route logbook. All AWA's and AWS's are zero

See screenshots below.

The zero's then flow into the export.

Hi Andrew, unless I'm not following your instructions correctly, that doesn't seem to happen to me.

Hi all.

Andrew, if memory doesn't fail, the related problem came on the qT 5.8.2 version, hence the main reason for stop upgrading qT since 5.8.1 (there are other reasons).

Qt Version 5.8-4
Windows 10

It is transient and I think it is related to an NMEA update which appears to fix the logbook. I think it also needs more than one route to reproduce. It will reproduce though by repeating the steps
1. Set grib date
2. View route logbook.

I can get it to reproduce about 50% of the time if NMEA is turned on. It does not reproduce if NMEA is turned off.

Hope this helps.

It's really weird. The instance I'm using has two routes in it. I set a grib date based on a route waypoint. The first route was fine, and the other wasn't, then they switched (did not change the date). Then they both fine, now switched back again (after about 2 minutes) and then switches again.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed information. I was able to reproduce that and it's a race condition that can occur randomly if NMEA is on. I fixed that and it's in beta4: https://www.virtual-winds.org/maitai/qtvlm_setup_5.8.6-beta4

Please test this and tell us if it's OK now. If you or someone else needs this beta for another platform than Windows just tell me.

Philippe.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!
