Ok, it is a mac issue. I fixed it but I am waiting for someone to tell me if the patched windows version still has the problems reported by JB

Viva Philippe, Huib and all.

Good morning.

I've just installed the qtvlm_setup_5.4.2-patch.

The issue with the “exit crash” is solved.
The other issue, the GPS status blank windows remains - pls see attached pic.

Thank you Philippe.
Sail Fair.

Thanks.

I tested with a SOL boat connected to brainaid nmea interface. No problem to see satellites status here, so it's either filtered somehow for you or this race does not have this information, I don' know.

I tested on race 992.

I will post the other platforms now. That includes the fix for the date column display problem on macos.

Meanwhile,

I’ve just tried the OpenTopoMaps and my first impression … I like it, in spite of:

1 - Some delay on the GPS activation once you choose this map offline option;
2 - Some GRIB ”washing” - pls see attached pic.

Philippe, same race here for the test: 992 and using the:

1 - SOL boat;
2 - "autoGribLoader 2 5 0.jar", namely, for connections.

Let me have a test with the brainaid NMEA connection.

Not much I can do about it, I cannot make the sea transparent in opentopomap (too many colors used). So I can only display the grib on to of it with some transparency (that you can tune yourself).

Some people also do not draw any colored background for the grib in that case and keep only winds arrows.

A matter of taste...

Nope Phillipe, it dosen't depend on the connection (brainaid or autoGribLoader).

The GPS status remains....dead blank, something that in previous qT versions didn't happened as soon as you establish that connection.

Phillipe,

Problema solved.

Now I've to find out what was happening here.

Thank you for your feed.

P.S.: The "maps" is really a matter of taste.

FYI: I got an Segmentation fault when I changed from 5.4.1 to 5.4.2 on my linux system.

Deleting the .qtVlm directory in my homefolder solved the problem.

At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!
