    That fixed the display however still have a glitch in the setup.

    Clicking on "Open the DC Table" produces following error. CMD window does not help much. I looked at the entry in ini file and it is blank, so I tried manually adding the path to QTVlm output file but still same error.
    .
    .
    Try this.

    1. Shut down AGL in that project.
    2. Edit the .ini file and remove completely the two lines
    # DC file
    DCFile=....
    3. Start AGL and try again. It should prompt for a file. It must be a valid DC file, either from exporting the route and .gpx, or a csv.
    If you still have issues, upload a zip if the file (I want to check the encoding)

    AGL 25.2.5 Released
    Board » Technical Discussion
    WARNING I am testing the new release and upgrade process for AGL. Whilst this will work for Windows and Linux, use it at your own peril. Proper version should be released on Friday.

    AGL will now be distributed through the link in the AGL25 User Manual. Click on the link to download the User Manual, and then refer to Section 2 for instructions on how to install AGL.

    You must also read AGL25 Release Notes as there may be some one-off specific instructions that are only related only to the latest release.

    Updates are now managed through AGL itself.

    Hi Kipper
    Just installed V25 and my screen does not look like the manual...?
    .
    .
    That's still 25.1.5. You have not upgraded to 25.2.1. Did you run the patcher or the installer? You should have run the patcher. Read the instructions again for update and follow exactly.

    Trying to import qtvlm route.csv file into AGL but getting below error message:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Integer.intValue()" because the return value of "java.util.Hashtable.get(Object)" is null

    Not sure what i am doing wrong. Checked the separator and the heading and seems to be as per manual
    .
    .
    I suspect that this is related to the encoding of the file being changed in qtVlm which was not updated in AGL. This has been fixed in AGL25. Please update to the latest version and check again. If the problem persists, please raise the issue in the thread under Technical Discussion specifically for AGL related issues. Please include the stack trace again and a copy of the csv you are using.

    AGL has gone through a major upgrade to the latest version of Java (Java 25) and JOGL 2.6.0 (the OpenGL library for Java). Linux support has also been added to this version. Releases will be posted in this thread.

    DO NOT post issues here. Use the AGL25 Issues thread for reporting and help
