Page: 1 2 3 Next

Hi, I really appreciated Schakel's article on his blog:

https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/how-to-connect-qtvlm-and-bluewater-racing-to-the-nmea-proxy/

Unfortunately I'm a mac user and I really didn't find a working solution to connect sol to qtvlm (the only mac running router).
Brainaid proxy seems to work correctly (I suppose...)

Qtvlm is usable without connection, but I have to manually input boat position every time I want to compare my strategy with the software generated route

Is there any mac user that has successfully succeeded in connecting sol to qtvlm?

Thank you in advance,
ciao
Enrico
really like to jump on the solution also.....I'm in the same virtual boat.

It works on Mac OS (OS X 10.9.5) too.
Just downloaded the new version of qtVlm (5.2-3).
Used ip-address and port from brainaids NMEA.
This is new in boat options.
qtVlm crashed once, but seems stable for the moment.

Thank You to the qtVlm team

Is it possible, someone could do a simple instructions for dummies?
Thanks

qtvlm 5.3-0 configuration tcp connection to brainaids NMEA-proxy is now found under <qtvlm><configuration><nmea connections> at the bottom. I use <TCP> server1.

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
