    Done. It will be available in the next release. But interested in what you are using that file for, rather than the NMEA interface into your router.

    Hi Kipper,

    Getting strange window behaviour; specially dor the DC table.

    Works fine for a while and then returning to post DCs the window looks like below image. You can't hit max or change it's size.
    .
    I've disabled rezize of the table because it gets all screwed up. What you seeing is a local machine rendering issue. Are you up to date with all your drivers and Windows Updates?

    Couple of questions.
    1. Does the popup menu still work?
    2. If so, what happens when you select Refresh?
    3. What happens if you kill the table (hit the x), and then reopen?

    Some of these may fix it, otherwise it's an AGL restart. There's nothing I can do my side, as it's not a code issue.

    Hi Kipper

    Do you think, in a future revision of AGL, it will be possible to integrate the boat's position into the CurrentBoatInfo file?

    Thank you for the work done.
    .
    It is. Called LAT and LON (in degrees). Other angles are in radians.

    Maybe behaviour by design;
    Previous version loaded NOAA "prt" files int slot 2 and got updated slider but grib did not display.

    Now get the updated slider but also grib displays in full. Still seems to calc route ok in QT...although lost a few places since update but probably my fault 😁
    .
    You only need to load the A grib, eg. A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032200.grb in slot 1. You can use A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032118.grb in slot 2 if you don't want to wait for the full download.

    You don't need to use the SOL grib at all.

    I read this tonight...

    Am I lucky... ? or... ???

    My PC runs on W8.1...
    ...and AGL23 it's OK...

    Not lucky. There was actually a bug in AGL23 which I thought was related to incompatibility of Java Version 23 and earlier versions of Windows.

    Great to hear it works.

Transat Ă  Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
