Special characters are not supported in the current version. Fixed for the next version.
I use an old version of AGL. Only for the easy nmea output to port 5010 for any race I choose. For routing I use 'BlueWater Racing'.
But for the grib files I have to use brainaid's tools.
AGL and Brainaid use the same named grib-file but I get a load of errors when trying to load the AGL-grib into BWR. Something about being semi-oblique. Brainaid's grib works flawless.

Apart from this grib-annoyance, the latest AGL versions, that are introducing an "own JAVA version" do not work at all with me.
(I have installed the latest JAVA version because I need that for JAVA based apps.(for example brainaids 'NMEAproxy.jnlp') maybe that is a cause of AGL not working?).

I am trying to set up AGL on my WIN 10 Xi CAD home workstation to permit logging the fleet of CCA/SOL cruising simulation passages. Zorba pointed to AGL as a means of documenting optimal selection of departure windows and routes to achieve minimal fuel burn and most comfortable sailing weather. I do not see the AG14installDir.bat in the windows_bat\ subdirectory.
I also do not have race folders set up yet.

Bill, I sent you an email yesterday. Did you get it. Please check junk folders.

AGL 14 uses it's own runtime environment (the new requirement post version 8, which is no longer supported) and has nothing to do with the installed versions. If you have set it up right as per the instructions, it will work.

I have no idea what the issue with Bluewater is. The grib is written according to the specification and works in qtVlm, Expedition and other viewers with no issues. If you can identify what is wrong with it, I may be able to fix it.

re grib in BWR:
"For all records BWR shows following remark:
grib: Record 0: Thinned or quasi-regular grids are not supported."

re "own runtime java":

I have installed since using brainaid's nmeaproxy the most recent version oracle runtime java environment.

All AGL versions worked until the "own java environment" was introduced.

Installed latest agl. Got it working. Still same grib errors in BWR.

Thus uninstalled AGL and will rely on Brainaid's tools.

Kipper,

I did not get your email and undoubtedly tossed it with the flood of junk mail. Please resend and let me know at least the first part of your email address so I can watch for your message.

THANKS!
Bill

Windows does not show file extensions by default. In that case you should see only 'AG14installDir'
Clicking on it should work.

I've put up a new version which is available here called AGL_14_3_0_update.zip and is an update as per the install instructions in the manual. This version includes the ability to insert and move DCs. I have also finally fixed the http 403 error and getting token infinite loop, plus special characters are supported in passwords.

The user manual has also been update to match this version.

The full installs have also been updated to this version.

Enjoy.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clear report to the Sultan – asked Sinbad. It must be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls here, and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin, ed.) and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.

Nantucket Sprint 2025


Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from Great Point to Muskeget & Tuckernuck Islands across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors (SOLers for short) to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. Once again, as is our wont on Lake Ontario, a fleet of Beneteau First 36.7s is being made available to virtual racers. There is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this 300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May; so, let the competition be fierce!
