> chmod +x generate-launchers.sh 
> ./generate-launchers.sh 
generated AG.sh and AG_no_ini.sh with
absolute paths, you can safely copy or move
the files elsewhere
> cat AG.sh 
java -jar /home/huib/sol/ag_x_y_z.jar
autoGribLoader.ini ag_x_y_z.jar
> cat AG_no_ini.sh 
java -jar /home/huib/sol/ag_x_y_z.jar
ag_x_y_z.jar
Would this work? It's a slightly different approach I think.

EDIT file contains a typo: "more" instead of "move", but it needs editing anyway

I discovered a small bug in this Version 2.5.5 which has an adverse affect on the server and will cause the application to crash if there are no boats in the AIS list. If you have already downloaded, please re-download and replace autoGribLoader 2 5 5.jar file with the one in this zip file. Version 2.5.5
There appears to be an issue with the latest qtVlm release where the course waypoints are not being loaded into qt. The work around is to import the gpx file <race_id>_course_waypoints.gpx that is created in the polar folder.

EDIT: You need to check "Treat RMB messages (WP)" at the bottom of the NMEA Tab in qT. Solution from Bimmer.

Kipper: It would be really useful to be able to log data for all boats or perhaps just those selected for AIS display. Last year psail and I used hmmm's logs to do some post-race analysis on the 2016 Mel-2-Osaka race but unfortunately hmmm's site is no longer available.
Version 2.5.6 is now available and has the following enhancements
1. Added ability to create a log file of AIS boats data (dtayls request)

Bug fixes – 2.5.6
1. Fixed localisation issues with the creation of polar files

Thank you so kindly Kipper.
I'm still amazed how good your tool is :-))
Version 2.5.7 is now available and has the following enhancements:

1. Ability to load exported qtVlm detailed routes (gpx format) as additional course waypoints in the DC Checker
2. Highlights DC’s where performance loss minimisation is possible
3. Current TWA on Current Boat Data tab will highlight when the twa is outside the maximum VMG ranges
4. Boat Data Table will only show boats that have not finished. Fixes the problem with multiple boats showing in timed races
5. Reorganised the window title to allow better identification of race and important data.

Bug fixes – 2.5.7

1. Various bug fixes with corrupt or partial downloads of server data.
2. Issues with loading gpx data.
Version 2.5.7p1 is a patch need to handle the missing tilemap tag in the race information xml. DC Checker won't work in the Twisted Race unless this version is installed.

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
