2017-03-07 16:35:59 - qtVlm & brainaids NMEA proxy
Hi,

I´ve been trying to load boats data and position into qtVLM using the brainaid proxy ( http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?race=1025&boat=47box).
The procedures I did was:
1)Load the braiaid NMEA proxy (that was "ok").
2)Into qtVlm I went to "VLM mode".
3)qtVlm > Configuration > ...
> "Conecting using a proxy".
>Proxy type: "System default proxy"
>Proxy Server (from brainaid toolbox): http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?race=1025&boat=47box
>Port Number: 5010
> User & Password as required.

After these settings I restart the qtVlm and look like the conection has been established.

I could not see after established the connection, the boats and datas inside the MAP.

Is it possible to have boats visualisation online on qtVLM? Someone can help the procedure or point me somewhere to have the info? Thank you.

I think the wording 'brainaid NMEA proxy" is misleading. In fact it's a tcp server.

You should not enter this settings into qtVlm proxy settings, but in NMEA->tcp server settings.

Hi maitai,

I change from "VLM mode" to "Real Mode" and set the NMEA>TCP Server settings. I did not get the instruments working, and boat online position as well.
I got some infomations from this website:

https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/how-to-connect-qtvlm-and-bluewater-racing-to-the-nmea-proxy/

but look like it´s not more applicable.
I saw some pictures from other Sailor using GPS into the qtVlm and it was looking like running well.

I´ll keeping trying.
Any other help will be apreciate. Thkans

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

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
