Hello,

Following my previous post, I eventually figured out how to connect qtVlm to a NMEA source. Brainaid's server definitely doesn't work.It sends a feed and qtVlm receives it, but it seems almost empty and qtVlm doesn't display any data.

I had to install CDchecker to sort out the question. Finding and installing on Linux the right version of CDchecker turned out to be another endeavor but I eventually managed it :-)

Ready now to give a try to SailOnLine :-)

2022-01-28 13:10:44 - Pop-up window size
Hi Kipper,

Is there a way to reduce the size of the "AutoGrib" pop-up window? The window that pops up after we double click AG14.bat.

I am on a small 11" laptop and since the AutoGrib pop up wind does not have a side scroll slider I cannot see and cannot click on "Apply". The pop up window takes over the whole monitor. Yes, I can adjust the margins with my mouse but there is no way to make the bottom buttons to show up.

I understand this may be a MS-Windows question, but I looked all over the internet and could not find the solution.

Is there any sort of flag codded in AGL that specify the size of the pop-up window that can be edited?

Thank you for any assistance.
Attached is a screenshot for reference.
Cheers,

Hi all

Been away from SoL and qtvlm for a while, and have forgotten the little that I knew before.

I am trying to figure out how to run a routing that takes the Gulfstream into account. I know it can be done, but age is beginning to tell :-)

@BER_baggus
Look for tides, currents etc and you will find something like XTide.
https://flaterco.com/xtide/

Maybe this will help you to an answer for your question.

In QTVLM look for configuration>gribs and harmonics.
I can not imagine it to be useful in SOL. SOL routing does only use weather (grib).

Java webstart is no longer supported by modern webbrowsers.'brainaid' instructions for starting the NMEAproxy on the commandline are also not working. The following instructions will work for all operating systems:

1) down and install Java 8 for your operating system from:

https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp

2) download the NMEAproxy application and the Swing library:

$ wget http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jar

$ wget http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/lib/swing-layout-1.0.4.jar

3) startup the NMEAproxy server:

Example:

$ java -cp NMEAproxy.jar:swing-layout-1.0.4.jar net.brainaid.sol.NMEAproxy.NMEAproxy 1234 boat-name

Note: '1234' is the sailonline race id - replace with your sailonline race id, replace 'boat-name' with your actual boat name.

You should now see the NMEAproxy UI screen from where you can 'login' and 'start'. More information about the integration with 'qtVLM' can be found here:

I've got brainaid's running via java8 (windows). Can't remember if I went too deep in to the folders/config of java, but I can click the button to download the NMEA proxy & then right click > open with > java webstart launcher.
