	Hi, I have been browsing this forum and Google for assistance in connecting Brainaid's NWEA proxy to the QtVlm router but have not found any relevant information. Has anyone managed to achieve this, and would they be prepared to share the info? many thanks John (SarahWilson)

	John, have you looked at Aaron's stuff. http://soltools.wordpress.com/bwr/ Phillip (Shackel) had some really good stuff on his site. But for some reason the page is now password protected. Still looking for his email. So far found this (which has some other good info): http://sailonline.org/community/profile/7407/ --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-08-01 01:43:14 --- --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-08-01 01:55:27 ---

	Morning Jack, and others. After some assistance from Dikkehenk and Go4iT and a bit of playing around on my own, I found a work around. My main problem seemed to be caused by being on a 64 bit system. In principle: 1. Start up brainaid's proxy, which runs quite happily on my 64 bit Windows 7 with Java 7. Others have had to revert to Java 6 I know. 2. Install NavmonPC and set the File>Connections to virtual ports A,B,C, using port COM5. Check that data is coming through okay, using the 'Monitor' button. 3. Install Franson GPSGate 2.6 and Franson SerialTools Run Time. 4. Start up QT. Under Boat>Settings, enter Serial Port as COM5. Under Options>Settings>gps, enter COM5 as the serial port. 5. Click 'Start GPS' on the left hand side of the QT window. cheers John

	SW Please provide more details of your set up to my email as new laptop is proving a problem.

	Good to hear! For the benefit of others reading this thread, I can no longer, since last month, log in the brainaid NMEA proxy whilst using Windows 7 and Java 7. Perhaps sometime one day, it will possible to do this again if it is updated.

	I have used Java 6 with Brainaid for some time, I just have to remember not to let Windows update me!

	Yes, that's right, but I have concerns about computer security using old versions of Java, so I don't.

	Hi all, I have fixed a problem with Cookie management inside the NMEAproxy, this should work with Java 7 now. You will still get a warning about unknown publisher, as I do not have an officially signed certificate... Please re-test with Java 7 and report your success or failure. Thanks a lot! Cheers, Eddie _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Eddie, heartfelt thanks...all working well, and nice to have Java 7 running on the computer again. cheers John --- Last Edited by SarahWilson at 2013-10-30 10:03:24 ---

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
