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.

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).

Current Races:

Auckland to Fiji 2023
Welcome to Auckland and, for the fifth time in Sailonline's history, an epic race to the Melanesian island of Fiji, some 1144nm away. The iconic Steinlager 2 has traditionally been our boat of choice for this event, including in 2020, the last time we raced the course – alone, unaccompanied by a real fleet as it had been #COVID19 quarantined. Alas, this year we will again be racing unaccompanied as low entry numbers has seen the real race cancelled. Hopefully, though, some of the real sailors from the Royal Akarana YC, hosts of the real event, will be joining us online to pit their skills against ours in the ever-changing forecast winds.

Cape Town to Auckland 2023
Welcome to this second RTW race 2023. It's also the June edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is slightly different from the one sailed in 2020, which then also was part of the RTW series.
This time we will race in the IMOCA 60 foil, as in all RTW races this year. That should guarantee the fun in the South Seas in a truly tough race.
