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.

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.

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!?!

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:
http://www.virtual-winds.org/maitai/qtvlm_setup_5.4.0-beta4.exe

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?
"There is a beta version for windows available here: http://www.virtual-winds.org/maitai/qtvlm_setup_5.4.0-beta4.exe Thanks, Philippe"
Changes in the beta:
• New Raster module, faster and able to read kaps, geotiff, geojpeg, etc
• Add CAPE data in route's log and in routes comparator
• Add a parameter to specify a maximum CAPE value in Weather Routing Module
• Add a possibility to compare actual boat's speed with polar speed in board
• Add a configurable minimum threshold for rain in routes comparator
• Columns can now be shown or hidden in routes comparator and route's log
• Start and arrivals points in routing are now persistent
• Add an option to extend last grib date for Currents gribs
• Add the possibility of sending a POI to GPS or other navigation system
Various fixes and optimizations

If you choose to test this, please give maitai a feedback in this forum post: http://sailonline.org/board/thread/14339/qtvlm-thread/?page=6#post-14601

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
