2016-01-06 14:35:54 - Sol connection to Qtvlm
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

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

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 Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
