2017-11-15 23:04:44 - DC Checker Release - 3.0.3
Version 3.0.3 fixes the map polygon rendering order problem with the Lake Superior Lights. I still need to work out how to bring the grid back in the lakes, but the islands are now visible. This version has a few new features. described in the documentation.

Version 3.0.5 now really fixes the map polygon rendering problem with the Lake Superior Lights.

For the fix to work, in any of your race folders, you must delete any map files that exist in the race folder maps directory that are named with race_<race id>.map. For this race, you must delete the file race_1092.map and then restart AGL.

This version has a couple of new features that are not yet documented. You can toggle the DC text on and off, and toggle the wind barbs on and off. Hover on the button to see what they do.

2017-11-19 10:35:27 - DC Checker Releases - 3.0.6
There were still a few problems in 3.0.5 with polygons not being visible. The routine to change the polygon direction (clockwise / anti-clockwise) was not working. Version 3.0.6 fixes this problem.

Remember, for the fix to work you must delete any map files that exist in the race folder maps directory that are named with race_<race id>.map. For this race, you must delete the file race_1092.map and then restart AGL.

2017-11-29 07:20:01 - DC Checker Releases - 3.0.7
There is a problem in 3.0.6 for a race straddling 180E where the new libraries I'm using were forcing the longitude to be between -180 and 180. This in turn caused the Mercator projections to fail. Version 3.0.7 fixes this problem.

For the fix to work you must delete race_1098.map if that file exists in the race folder maps directory and then restart AGL.

Hi Svein, did you get this working? Looks like Java is not installed correctly.

2017-12-29 03:18:21 - Maps fix for Melbourne to Hong Kong
There are a few problems with the maps as stored on the server which have manifested themselves in this race. I have been meaning to clean up the maps for a while and did that last night. maps_v2.zip which is here fixes the problems. To install theses maps, download maps_V2.zip and do the following
1. Close any running AGLs.
2. In your tile library, rename maps to maps.old
3. Unzip maps_V2.zip into your tile library folder. You should now have a maps and a maps.old folder in there.
4. Delete race_1104.map from the maps folder of your Melbourne to Hong Kong race folder
5. Restart AGL.
6. Delete maps.old

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!
