	Kipper Thanks for coming back to me on this. To your questions: 1)I am running a 64-bit Java (Version 8-241) 2)I am opening the AGL with the Terminal. Attached the command screen after AGL opens and clicking Apply Lastly, I am also attaching a print of the screen I get when opening the DC Checker graphical interface. Just flat out gray! BTW, your software is awesome. The more I get used to it the more I like it. Thanks Attachments Screen_Shot_2020-04-10_at_20.03.49.png (312.9 KB) Screen_Shot_2020-04-10_at_20.02.23.png (246.7 KB)

	Version 4.0.0 looks really good. I had all sorts of problems initially but finally got it all sorted. 1st problem was I was using a 32bit instance of Java. Tried the latest 64 bit SDK but no joy. Updated the JRE (runtime environment) and it worked beautifully. Thanks Kipper. Everyone will enjoy the updated version.

	Hi Kipper, Have loaded 4.0.0 and have following problem. When converting DCs to Graphic the information at each point does not show Course, Speed TWA etc. Ah, think I may understand now. My PC does not support OpenGL. That may be it. I can work out what each section of the graphic text means. --- Last Edited by Mullionman at 2020-04-13 08:37:34 ---

	I tried Version 4.0.0 on the Mac. It works well other than the Graphic interface that on the new version, always come gray. Going back to 3.2.3 that at least give me the graphics once in a while.

	I have not been getting notifications in this thread, so apologies for no answers. 1. seeU, an exception is being thrown by the low level openGL binding that I use, and I have no idea why. Can you please copy the feedback from the shell, drop it into a file and post here. Secondly, try turning off the openGL engine (on the Parameters tab) and see if you get a different result. 2. Mul, version 4 simplified the DC text. There should be a legend in the bottom right corner to explain what it is. Both versions show the same text. Also, if you are getting the wind isotachs and barbs, openGL is working.

	dtayls said @ 2020-04-11 08:08:43: ..... 1st problem was I was using a 32bit instance of Java....... All, it is critical that you run a 64 bit version of Java as dtayls found out. I've posted some instructions on how to check and rectify if necessary. Verify 64bit Java Installed ______________ Attachments Verify_64_bit_Java_installed_1.pdf (122.7 KB)

	I've fixed a few issues discovered today with the Capetown race in Version 4.0.0.0. Version 4.0.0.1 is here I've speeded up the wind data refresh, fixed the out of bounds errors, added a right click drop down menu in the graphic window and fixed the error with reading the Wx update times. Secondly, I've added some notes on how to check that you are using 64 bit Java. 32 bit is causing a few people some issues and problems.

	New question. QtVlm is only showing the integer of the TWS on boat instruments. i.e. If the TWS is 4.8 then display is 4.0. If TWS is 5.1 instrument is 5.0. This does not seem to affect routing except it will show the difference as a correction. Is the nmea in AGL passing only the integer of TWS or do you think that QtVlm is only reading the integer and is therefore a problem their end?

Baker Lake Ice Race 2022
Up north, it’s Winter, so time to put your skates on, but first you’ll have to airfreight them, your carbon spars, your mylar sails and your DN hull to Baker Lake, for a 109nm race, the first of 4 (3 to count) at high speed before the ice melts! Well inside the Arctic Circle, this is a cold, cold place, where the wind is rarely benign. No Performance Loss, so put your goggles on, wrap up well, and try to get round as quick as you can!

Christmas Is (Pac) to Christmas Is (Ind) 2022
Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your Volvo70s well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2022 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! Please have fun! Fair winds!

The Three Kings Race 2022
The Three Kings Offshore Race is a 520 nm challenge, in Farr 38s, from Auckland (Orakei) up and around the Three Kings Islands and then back to Auckland finishing where you started. Manawa Islands (Three Kings) are a group of 13 uninhabited islands about 25 nm northwest of Te Rerenga Wairua aka Cape Reinga. They're also about 250nm due north of Auckland, known also as the world's best diving and fishing locations (although hopefully, you won’t be fishing too much during the race, or diving for that matter) and it is just a beautiful yet rugged place that is a must see for anyone who loves the oceans.
