	Fine, but how do I get these working waypoints into QTVLM? Very simple..... Open QTVLM, click on "Marks" and import the gpx file that works. --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2017-08-19 08:19:46 ---
Posted by Dingo Posts 94 Registered at 2013-03-09 04:23:58	2017-09-05 23:14:43 - Question for Matai
	In the last 12 months I've changed to a couple of smaller but new computers. I've noticed, through the last few updates, that I have a small problem with QtVlm when I have it running continuously for some time. The drop-down tabs for Grib, Routings and Routes no longer will display the drop-down menu though they still light up 'purple' when moused over. All the other tabs continue to drop-down and display their menus. All other functions in QtVlm also continue. However, I can't of course, delete the old grib nor load a new one, nor create a routing, etc. So I have to start QtVlm to clear the problem. Is there some storage being used up or any other ideas what the problem might be. It's been consistent nor for the last six months or so of updates, so it's not a specific update issue. Also, the same thing happens on both computers, and one at least has quite good specs. Thanks for the help. --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2017-09-05 23:15:55 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2017-09-05 23:16:38 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2017-09-06 03:45:45 ---

	You are not the only one with this problem Dingo. Hope maitai will read this shortly.

	As an experiment, I have gone to grib drawing configuration, and lowered the density of the arrows and increased their size. I'll see if it makes any difference. I don't have trails turned on either, by the way.

	Viva John, Finn, Philippe and all, Good morning. I’ve noticed the same problems here: seems that after heavy calcs, qT freezes the menu toolbar and other “areas”, namely related with mouse right-click functions. I add another problema: the GRIB animation files recording doesn’t work anymore. Big Hug to all. João/psail Sail Fair.

	As I said earlier. I hope maitai resds this sonn. I have written to hin in La Taverne (the qtvlm forum) to pay his attention to this.

	So far, my grib reduction strategy has stopped the freezing.....

	Hello, Thx Bimmer to point me back here. Maitai is taking some day of, this explains some delay in answering you. These type of problem are hard to solve as it is probably some small leak of memory. To help us narrow the issue, can you please specify: - computer type & OS - does this affect the overall performence of the computer or just qtVlm ? - do you have things running in qtVlm like AIS, other NMEA, alarms ?
Posted by Dingo Posts 94 Registered at 2013-03-09 04:23:58	2017-09-08 11:53:22 - Re: qtVlm thread
	Thanks Oxygen. For me, two Lenovo desktops, and one Toshiba laptop, and all exhibit the same QtVlm problem I describe in my post above. All are running Windows 10 64 bit, and a check on all computers when QT problem is happening shows there is still spare computer memory. I am running nmea, but I recently have reduced the detail of my grib display (see my post above), which so far has helped I think. Please note that this issue began perhaps 2 months ago at the most, and before that with previous issues of QtVlm I did not have this problem. When the problem started, it began on all three computers at the same time. See also my post above, when problem occurs, it only affects the grib, routing and routes tab. Other functions of QT continue as normal. The performance of the rest of the computer is not affected. cheers John --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2017-09-08 11:54:56 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2017-09-08 11:56:12 ---

	Its started happening with me as well just with the last version. The Grib and Boat menus are no longer active. The highlight as you run the mouse over them, but clicking does nothing. All the right click menus stop working as well.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden.

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!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
