Hey Kipper ! Is Upgrade from previous version mandatory ? I am still using the 14.3.6 . When upgrading 14.3.6 to 14.3.8 I got the following message " setx is not recognized as and internal command or .......

Thanks .

I would prefer everyone update to this version. Older versions can cause server problems. With the setx problem, have you tried running AG14Version.bat as an administrator (Use the "Run as Administrator" option in the right click dropdown)? You may not have set up your account with admin privileges.

New version here called AGL14_3_12_update.zip and must be installed as an update. Fixes the HTTP 400 error preventing AGL from working and cleaned up from the previous dev version.

Hey Kipper ! Just for information got a 2nd mail from "Maitai" the QTVLM manager who is sorry to reconfirm theses files .map cannot be read by QT. Regards ALP317

qt can't read them. They come from the same source being gshhs, so the outlines are same with a few exceptions in Antartica (ice sheets vs land)

so...AGL doesn't launch...

Not sure how this has happened to you, but it looks like you have managed to set a GL font that does not exist on your computer. To fix, do the following.

1. Edit the file aqutoGribLoader.in and delete the lines

# GL Font
glFont={whatever yours is set to}

which are at the bottom of the file.

2. Save the file and close it.
3. Launch AGL. It will now choose the default of Arial

Hi Kipper ! I love already your great AGL14_3_6 and would like to know now more on the.map formats of the files you use (down loaded the packages Tiles and Maps ). With which software can we open them on our PC ? Is decrypting script confidential ? Thanks in advance for your answer ! Alban

The maps are binary Java versions which I have created to speed up processing. The tiles are the original xml files downloaded from the server, the same ones the client uses. I have cleaned them up to remove duplicate points and overlaps. These are the same maps that qtVlm uses (gshhs shapes). The client or qt are your best viewers.

Re: AGL 14 Issues

There has been a change to the raceinfo file on the server which is causing AGL to crash on DC checking. This is happening in the Buenos Aires to Punta del Este race, and I am not sure how long it will continue. The fix is to edit the auth_race_info file in the SOLGrib xml folder, and do the following:
1. Shut down AGL.

2. Add the line

<tilemap>i</tilemap>

after the line <maxlat>-33.0</maxlat>

You will need to check the resolution of the maps on the Misc tab. Use <tilemap>i</tilemap> for intermediate, <tilemap>h</tilemap> for high resolution.

3. Save and close the file
4. Go into the maps folder and delete any files in there.
5. Restart AGL

If you still have a blank graphics screen on checking DCs, delete the file autoGribLoader.ini. You will unfotunately lose all your settings, and will need to reconfigure AGL.

I have attached a working copy of the auth_race_info file for this race.

Re: Batch file that can create multiple instances of qtVlm

Board » Technical Discussion

New version that supports V15.12.0.

IMPORTANT: This is a significantly different version from previous ones. You need to delete all the folders in the target folder (where you run qtLinks.bat from) before running the linking batch file.

I've also included the batch file I use to launch qt from my race folder, which you can edit to suit.

Note: I did have an issue with one of my instances which kept crashing. Copying the qtVlm.ini from a working instance and overwriting the fault one fixed it. Obviously, you will need to edit the Configurations as they will be the same as the source instance.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
