    Hello,

    Following my previous post, I eventually figured out how to connect qtVlm to a NMEA source. Brainaid's server definitely doesn't work.It sends a feed and qtVlm receives it, but it seems almost empty and qtVlm doesn't display any data.

    I had to install CDchecker to sort out the question. Finding and installing on Linux the right version of CDchecker turned out to be another endeavor but I eventually managed it :-)

    Ready now to give a try to SailOnLine :-)

    Hello,

    I'm new to SOL and I am trying to connect the game to qtVlm ... with some difficulties :-)

    I am using the brainaid proxy server to export NMEA data to qtVlm. The server is properly running and qtVlm receives now a NMEA feed (NMEA raw data window shows it).

    The brainaid server receives data from a boat that is sailing in the "Shetland race 2021".

    The problem is that nothing happens on the screen. The race WP are not shown, my boat is not positioned and all instrument are inactive.

    Once qtVlm receives properly the NMEA feed, is there any other setting that is to be activated so that the feed can be processed concretly? Or maybe the feed itself doesn't contain the proper data?

    Has anyone of you already had this kind of problem in the past?
  • Installing AGL in Linux
    Board » Technical Support
    Hello,

    I would like to install AGL in Linux.

    I tried to launch the AutoGribLoader 3 2 3.jar through the java -jar command, but got a bunch of errors. I suppose that there are some parameters to adjust first (paths?), but I don't know which and where. Could someone help?

    Thank you in advance.

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!
