Posted by Kipper1258 Posts 175 Registered at 2015-06-18 22:08:49	2018-11-12 23:32:50 - Work Around for Akand Sea Waypoints not flowing into qtVlm
	The NMEA sentences for waypoints only support the standard ASCII character set, and as a result, qtVlm is ignoring those that do not conform. A work around is to edit the race info xml file. Do the following. 1. Shut down AGL and qtVlm. 2. Open auth_raceinfo_1185.xml in the SOLGribxml folder with a text editor. 3. Look for the waypoint <name> lines with special characters e.g. <waypoint> <order>2</order> <name>Villösan</name> 4. Replace the ö with and o e.g, <waypoint> <order>2</order> <name>Villosan</name> 5. Repeat for all special characters in waypoint names. 6. Save the changes 7. Restart AGL and make sure Monitor Race Messages is not checked (or your changes will be overwritten) 8. Restart qtVlm and connect.

	Version 3.1.3 is now available which fixes grib extents issue with the X2X race. If you have set up AGL correctly in the past according to the install instructions, you should only have to download put AutoGribLoader 3 1 3.jar in the same folder as the old version (e.g. AutoGribLoader 3 1 2.jar), and then download and run AGVersion.bat. This will cause AG.bat to now use the correct version. Both these files are in the root of the OneDrive folder link.

	Version 3.2.0 is now available which has several enhancements and must be installed by all qtVlm users. The change allows qtVlm to filter out SOL AIS data and not send fake data to AISHUB. If you have set up AGL correctly in the past according to the install instructions, you should only have to download put AutoGribLoader 3 2 0.jar in the same folder as the old version (e.g. AutoGribLoader 3 1 2.jar), and then download and run AGVersion.bat. This will cause AG.bat to now use the correct version. Both these files are in the root of the OneDrive folder link. The user manual has also been updated with the new functionality descriptions.

	Thank you Andrew for the update. Just a question, the font size is smaller, there is a way to change it in the AGL settings? See the file. EDIT: I've installed in a different computer and the font size is smaller as well --- Last Edited by Adriano (Batatabh) at 2019-09-26 14:01:37 --- --- Last Edited by Adriano (Batatabh) at 2019-09-26 14:02:15 --- Attachments agl_small_font.JPG (230.1 KB)

	Hi Kipper. Is it possible to turn off/on your own trace on the graphical path map?

	I've released a new version (3.2.1) that remaps the extended ASCII character set to the standard character set recognised by NMEA. e.g. Æ will map to AE, ø will map to o and so on. Follow the link from the previous release to get the new one.

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.
