    Here's the file (did not work last time)
  • Re: AGL 14 Issues
    Board » Technical Discussion
    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.

    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.

    New version here called AGL14_3_8_update.zip and must be installed as an update. Fixes the wrong bearing being used for VMC calculation in the boat data table.

    There's a problem with AG14InstallDir.bat. Change the first line to
    setx AG14InstallDir "C:\SOL\Java14\\"

    and run it again. I've also put a copy on OneDrive that you can download

    A new version is here. There is an update and the full version. If AGL is already installed, you only need the update. This versions allows the OpenGL engine to be turned off and will still work with basic graphics. Also has a couple of bug fixes.

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience.

Casey Station to Neumayer Station 2024

It’s late summer now in Antarctica, the sun will still not set, but the Emperor chicks are hatched. Let’s yacht on from Australia’s Casey Station, destination Germany’s Neumayer Station! Our route takes us past Molodezhnaya Stancija, Russia’s self-styled capital of Antarctica, as well as Mirney (RUS), Davis (AUS), Mawson (AUS), Syowa (JAP) and Maitri (IND) down the full length of the continent’s east coast. It’s not much more than 2600nm, so let’s take Brazil’s Amyr Klink’s more stately and very comfortable 29m LOA Paratii 2 for this second leg of our six-leg high latitude adventure!
