2017-03-07 16:35:59 - qtVlm & brainaids NMEA proxy
Hi,

I´ve been trying to load boats data and position into qtVLM using the brainaid proxy ( http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?race=1025&boat=47box).
The procedures I did was:
1)Load the braiaid NMEA proxy (that was "ok").
2)Into qtVlm I went to "VLM mode".
3)qtVlm > Configuration > ...
> "Conecting using a proxy".
>Proxy type: "System default proxy"
>Proxy Server (from brainaid toolbox): http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?race=1025&boat=47box
>Port Number: 5010
> User & Password as required.

After these settings I restart the qtVlm and look like the conection has been established.

I could not see after established the connection, the boats and datas inside the MAP.

Is it possible to have boats visualisation online on qtVLM? Someone can help the procedure or point me somewhere to have the info? Thank you.

I think the wording 'brainaid NMEA proxy" is misleading. In fact it's a tcp server.

You should not enter this settings into qtVlm proxy settings, but in NMEA->tcp server settings.

Hi maitai,

I change from "VLM mode" to "Real Mode" and set the NMEA>TCP Server settings. I did not get the instruments working, and boat online position as well.
I got some infomations from this website:

https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/how-to-connect-qtvlm-and-bluewater-racing-to-the-nmea-proxy/

but look like it´s not more applicable.
I saw some pictures from other Sailor using GPS into the qtVlm and it was looking like running well.

I´ll keeping trying.
Any other help will be apreciate. Thkans

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

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, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel 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 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
