	Thanks Kipper. I get agreement in client, AGL, and raw nmea data in QT. It’s just the boats instruments that have integer TWS only. I think it’s therefore a QT problem or I have an incorrect setting somewhere. I will try a new load and see if I get the same then.

	Same issue here, can you let us know if you find the solution? Cheers. I have the latest version. I noticed something strange. The wind is currently 7.238knts in AGL, 7.24 in SOL and 7 in qt. However, if I open the polar in qt (from boat settings or clicking on the compass) the TWS is shown as 7.00knts and then if I turn off nmea, it then shows 7.24 knts. I wish I could go back one version of qt to try it there. Edit: installed 5.9_7 P2 and have decimal points in instruments back. --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 06:27:48 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 06:50:43 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 07:12:37 ---

Spoke to matai, there was a bug in last version, which he's now fixed..will be updated soon. meantime, the previous version works okay 5.9.7 P2. --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 08:02:52 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 08:15:25 ---

	Well done John, I have reverted to 5.9-7 as well and now get full TWS. It was the same on the IOS version as well. I thought I was going mad with searching strange NMEA settings!

	Me too, I thought I was going mad searching the settings. Did discover a hundred other options I'd never looked at before though.

	Thanks Kipper, and sorry for the delay in replying. Attached the shell log, for the AGL_4_0_2. All I get is a gray flat screen when open the graphic interface. Turned openGL engine on an off but nothing changes. On a separate question, what is the font you use on the AGL3_2_2? I may have to install it as my machine is showing a hard to read one (see picture attached). Thanks much Kipper1258 said @ 2020-04-28 04:15:39: 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. --- Last Edited by seeUlater at 2020-05-06 16:33:32 --- Attachments Screen_Shot_2020-05-06_at_12.24.51_2.png (72.9 KB) Shell.rtf (2.1 KB)

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
