Hi All, Hi Kip'

For this morning, when I try to launch AGL, in the Console, I read :

"C:\SOL\Race0>C:\SOL\Java14\jre_windows\bin\java.exe -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled
=false -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath "C:\SOL\Java14\agl14_3_8.jar;C:\SOL\Java1
4\agl14_lib\*;" main.AGMain autoGribLoader.ini 1.0
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setSelectedIndex:
228 out of bounds
at java.desktop/javax.swing.JComboBox.setSelectedIndex(Unknown Source)
at autoPilot.Gui.<init>(Gui.java:1470)
at autoPilot.AutoPilot.<init>(AutoPilot.java:257)
at main.AGMain.main(AGMain.java:10)"

so...AGL doesn't launch...

Not sure how this has happened to you, but it looks like you have managed to set a GL font that does not exist on your computer. To fix, do the following.

1. Edit the file aqutoGribLoader.in and delete the lines

# GL Font
glFont={whatever yours is set to}

which are at the bottom of the file.

2. Save the file and close it.
3. Launch AGL. It will now choose the default of Arial
Thx Kip'

Problem Solved ;-)

(Font was Yu Mincho)
There is an intermittent issue with the NOAA downloads during the incremental download. It appears NOAA is sending a corrupt file which then hangs AGL. Shutting down and restarting AGL will fix the hang. I have put checks in and currently testing which will hopefully resolve the issue. May take a few days to validate before a new version is released.

Symptoms are that the NOAA download stops prematurely and this exception is being thrown in the command window.

Hi Kip'

...so, we wait to update 14-3-12 to 14-4-1 ?
Hello,

i tried to install agl on windows. I follow all the steps of the manual but when i try to launch AG14_pause i receive this message: C:\SOL\Java14\windows_bat>C:SOL\Java14\jre_windows\bin\java.exe -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath "C:SOL\Java14\agl14_4_1.jar;C:SOL\Java14\agl14_lib\*;" main.AGMain autoGribLoader.ini

1. Check that all those folders and file actually exist. Looks like something is missing. If they do not exist, you have not installed it correctly.
2. You should not be running AGL from the install area. You need to create separate race folders and run from there, as explained in the manual.

Might be worth having another careful read through the manual and making sure every step has been followed correctly.


I put some checks into the code, but the problem has not manifested itself again after 4 sets of downloads. Version 14.4.2 has therefore been released, and is good to go.

These was a problem with AGInstallDir.bat is that it was setting the environment variable to C:SOL\Java14\ instead of C:\SOL\Java14\. A new version is in the release area that can be copied and run. Alternatively, edit the environment variable AGInstallDir to match.

This issue is still in 14.4.2. I finally found the bug. It has to do with the NOAA download trying to access the SOL Wx information as the new SOL download is in progress. The result is that NOAA tries to access values that have not been set yet and the thread hangs on invalid data being read. The fix is currently being tested and should be release in the next day or so.

Current work around is to restart AGL.

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, and for the sixth year in succession 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. This year, for the first time, we will be racing the 300nm circuit in Sun Fast 3200s. As usual, there is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this LO300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May, and this year also the race and the Susan Hood count towards the title of Super Buddy 2026; so, let the competition be fierce!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, 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?!
