Load the file in another grib viewer (zygrib, adrena, opencpn, squid, whatever) to check if it is correct or not.
Good morning Philippe.

Yesterday I've made the sugested test with zxyGrib on two consecutive WRF gribs and got the same problem: only a 24 hr period.
I'll have a go with Adrena and open, and be back after.
Sail Fair.
Then the problem is not in qtVlm, but in the grib file itself...
Ok, back.
And the news are not good.

Both Adrena and openCPN have the same problema: they can't load the WRF Grib file to full extent.

If the common denominator is the GRIB file, the problem is there.

I'll contact Eddie / "brainaid" with c/c to Huib.

Thank you Philippe.
Sail Fair.

Except that for me, it's a good news ;)
Viva all.

I'm having an issue in the "Import" qT routes using a "*.json" file format previously exported from qT (with the same format).

It doesn't work.

Post annotated by kroppyer-admin :
sol's display name was changed to glenan by someone (now reverted). You were logged on as sol when you posted.
What is happening?
The previous post (the json file import issue) was made by me (psail), not glenan!?!
Sail Fair.
Ok, fixed, thanks for reporting it.
Hello,

We are almost ready to release qtVlm 5.4.0. Maybe you want to give it a try and check that nothing is broken concerning SOL?

There is a beta version for windows available here:

Thanks,
Philippe
Hi Philippe.
For your information I have just posted this in the english chatrooms of the present ongoing races, The Valletta sprint and the RTWR 2016:

QtVlm users - read this ! maitai posted this in forum: "We are almost ready to release qtVlm 5.4.0. Maybe you want to give it a try and check that nothing is broken concerning SOL?

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
