    Re: AGL 23Ki Issues
    Board » Technical Discussion
    Kipper - just so you know: I installed and ran AGL23_1_5. Without making any adjustments, everything seems fine except that the land masses are simply outlines (no fill). That is what I expected, I think?

    Thanks again for sharing your work (and genius!).

    Hey Kipper - just back from several months off, and noticed the new AGL version. Are there compelling new features that would make me want to switch? I use a laptop that probably does not have the advanced graphics I see being discussed.

    Thx.

    Hey Kipper - B1 here - back from 6 months on a desert island :)

    Having trouble with the new(?) DC table button. Won't open the standard CSV file from QT - keeps reopening the file selector window. (Worse - I've lost my bookmark to the webbased file converter I used to use :( !) Hope you can help!

    Ed

    UPDATE: Kipper, check the screen shot attached. For some reason the file picker is showing files that don't exist - note the file dates - some from two years ago!!! Further, the same error occurs in each of the other File picker windows. Non-existent files dated in 2022.

    Arrrgh, 'Greybeard the Great' be a name that strikes fear in the hearts o' landlubbers and awe in the hearts o' pirates! Aye, it be a name fit for a legend of the high seas, me hearty!

    What happened to the server on 7/2/2022?!?

    The PIC insurance race stalled at 10:57 UTC - no boats moving, no DC's firing. The only thing working was Chat. Could we have an explanation?

    B1 missed the finish line, but took 5 hours in real time to get back because of this.

    I would concur. The very long races are appealing for those of us who are unable to give 100% attention to SOL because, well, life happens.

    As to this specific proposal, why not make it two races - out and back, as the old China and East India company ships did. Should be timed for the same seasons they sailed in those days to take advantage of monsoon winds, etc. Maybe some pirates to make it interesting? :)

    Kipper, I mostly use AGL to refine QT routes by importing into AGL via Kroppyer's conversion website and running DC conditioning and adding in Performance Loss. Today I was trying to learn more about adding and editing Waypoints directly in AGL. There seem to be some gaps in the Manual:
    --I don't understand how to convert an edited WP to DC's as pictured in the manual.
    --When I click on almost any button along the top of the graphics window after editing a WP, the whole app crashes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions or additional documentation? If easier, you can communicate with me at ed@careofcreation.org

    Update... I deleted Maps folder, restarted, no change. Then deleted all AGL folders, restarted, no change. Then restarted with a different race, everything is fine. Repeated everything in another race folder. Same results.

    Kipper, I'm getting an error in just one race (Pac6) when attempting to load the graphical chart... the program freezes, and can only be closed by closing the command window. DCs will load to the server, but can't be manipulated (eg. applying PL, etc).

    Here's the error code from the command window:

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said 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?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
