    Workaround for missing tile information
    Board » Technical Discussion
    Until such time as the tech team adds the tile information back, the following steps need to be followed.
    1. If you see Tile Map : null on the title bar of your AGL, there is a problem.
    2. Check which tile set is being used on client Misc tab.
    3. Make sure AGL is shut down and open the folder where you start AGL.
    4. In the folder SOLGribXml find the file that matches your race. For race 1935 it will be auth_raceinfo_1935.xml.
    5. Open that file in a text editor.
    6. Just before the tag <mapurl> , add the line

    <tilemap>i<tilemap> for intermediate tile sets or

    <tilemap>h<tilemap> for high tile sets.

    7. Save and close the file.

    8. In the maps folder, delete the files

    race_1935.dat and race_1935.map. The "1935" will change to match the current race id.

    8. Restart AGL.

    AGL will now pick up the tile set information and load the correct set.

    I've generated the Expd gpx file and should be able to incorporate it into the DC table.

    Re: Convert Expedition Route to DC's?
    Board » Technical Support
    AGL may be able to do it for you. Try these steps.
    1. Open the GPX as a waypoint file in AGL, and clean it up there. You will need to read the manual on what the waypoint commands do.
    2. Check them using the VMG waypoint checker, and fix as needed.
    3. Use the Convert VMG waypoints into DCs option, and finalise your DCs. You MUST read the manual on how to do this as there are some steps that must be followed on how to do this.

    Hi, New laptop so new download.
    At step 3, rather than getting folder C:\sol\Java24, I got folder
    C:\solAGL24_1_0_With_maps.
    The Java24 folder was found in this.
    Not sure if it is required, but I just copied the Java24 folder back up to C:\SOL and everything worked.
    .
    .

    That's a result of how you unzipped it. You need to use the "Unzip here" option. But if it does end up in a folder of the zip file name, simply cut the Java24 folder in there, and paste it into your C:\SOL folder, and everything will work.

    Re: AGL Issues
    Board » Technical Discussion
    Firstly, there is an existing thread for AGL 23 Issues. Please post in there in future. Solutions:
    1. Upgrade to the latest versions.
    2. Looks like you have unreliable internet. You must have a good internet connection for AGL to work. I think both points 1 and 2 are related to that.
    3. This is a documented bug, read 9 Known Issues and Bugs in the manual. There is another with Conditioning DCs

    There is also an issue with Windows 11 and DisplayLink ethernet adapters locking up which is affecting me, and you may be a victim of the same issue. I am in the process of testing out Java 24 to see if that fixes the issue.

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


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, 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.
