    Re: AGL 25 Issues
    Board » Technical Discussion
    On selecting DC Table, selecting times and transferring to DC page successfully, I then get buttons frozen and therefore unable to set them or any other function such as reload and delete. It even prevents AGL closure other than bt Command page.
    Command page reads:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field "init" because "this.sg" is null
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.ShowDCRoute(DCDataTableAP.java:1238)
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.makeCourseWPFile(DCDataTableAP.java:1233)
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.<init>(DCDataTableAP.java:257)

    at autoPilot.AutoPilot.run(AutoPilot.java:456)
    at main.AGMain.main(AGMain.java:22)

    Thanks for looking at this Kipper.

    I find that the NOAA Grib does not automatically download.I can only get NOAA gribs by re-starting. Command page shows:

    Slowly getting there but with a couple of issues.
    Having put DC path int ini, I am only able to get the DC table if the date/time in QT = Day Month. But that produces the following in the control table:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field "init" because "this.sg" is null
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.ShowDCRoute(DCDataTableAP.java:1327)
    at autoPilot.DCDataTableAP.makeCourseWPFile(DCDataTableAP.java:1322)

    at autoPilot.AutoPilot.run(AutoPilot.java:428)
    at main.AGMain.main(AGMain.java:22)
    Exception in thread "Thread-8" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
    at grib.NOAAGrib2.addUV(NOAAGrib2.java:418)
    at grib.NOAAGrib2.loadNOAAGrib(NOAAGrib2.java:234)
    at grib.NOAAGrib.downloadGribFile(NOAAGrib.java:403)
    at grib.NOAAGrib.run(NOAAGrib.java:231)
    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.runWith(Unknown Source)
    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

    Then although I can post the DC table data to the DC window, I can then not action any button including setting them. I can only delete the DCs by Delete button on keyboard and cannot open a new DC table.

    If date in QT is set to Month Day, I get window that says that there is no DC data in the file. However all buttons work.

    Koppyer's method of copy /paste only works in date in QT is set to Day Month.

    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry that it sounds long winded.

    Sorry Kipper but I am using 25_2_7 and I have removed the lines:
    # DC file
    DCFile=....
    On restarting AGL, I did not get a prompt for a file.

    In the Command screen I get:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
    at java.base/java.io.FileInputStream.open(Unknown Source)

    I have checked correct date/time format and even named the route as route.csv from QT

    I also have the same message when trying to open the DC table.
    Where can I find the ini file?

    Hi Kipper.
    I have downloaded 14_3_6 full but when I copy AG14_pause.bat and AG14.bat into my race folder and then run AG14_pause.bat I get this in the cmd. Folders have been checked correct. Any ideas?

    operable program or batch file.

    C:\SOL\Feb race>pause
    Press any key to continue . . .

    Thank you Andrew.
    14_1_0_1.jar now downloaded and working well. I will look into getting a new graphics card. I will just have to be careful with PL.

    Still no joy Andrew.
    I downloaded 14.2.1 Version (without maps).
    Carefully carried out install instructions.
    It loads but with same Pointer exceptions.
    As well as greyed out "Current Boat Date" tab, the Mayday respondents and AIS contacts are also greyed out.
    It may be due to my PC not being able to use Open GL.
    Is it possible to provide a link to the previous version files? That worked with Use "Open GL Engine" not selected.
    Regards
    Dave

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
