    Re: AGL14 Releases
    Board » Technical Discussion
    Kipper, I have downloaded the 14.6.0 AGL Manual. What I am worried about is corrupting the existing files that allow me to continue using Version 14.2.9 if I follow the First Time instructions in order to Update to the latest version. I am assuming that there is some modification required in the First Time instructions when you are already using AGL. TX again.

    Kipper, I am not the most computer literate 84 yr old! Originally I had assistance loading AGL from our much missed late SOLer Bimmer. I confess that I have not been confident enough to keep up to date with the patches and I am still using AGL Version 14/2/9 on Windows 10. I would like to get up to date. I have User Manual 14.2.3. which describes the first installation and then updates. Rather than downloading the multiple patches I have missed what would be the steps to replacing my version with the latest version and then keeping up to date with the patches?
    I hope that this request does not exasperate you too much! TX for any kind assistance you may render. TX for creating this super program. jgambles@rogers.com.

    After an absence from SOL I was saddened to hear that Rod had passed away. He was one of a small group of Canucks and Friends that corresponded and he will be missed. Knowing that I lived within driving range, he did his darnedest to get me into radio controlled boat racing. May he RIP.

    Again. I am at my wits end! Yesterday everything was working fine. Today no connection between SOL and QT. Failed to connect to TCP Host 192.168.4.26 Port 5010. I have been at it for 8 hrs. My very experienced techie for over an hr. Turned off all the firewalls. Downloaded latest version of Java 10/20/2020 and Qt 5.9-12. Brainaid Proxy is a security exception in both Java and my security software. Proxy opens and starts. Multiple ports tried. Qt settings checked. See above - once before it stopped during the Carib Race, no solution and then it started up again on its own!! I may be too frustrated to do the PIC without Qt! I have tired myself out to be able to handle 20+ hrs of SOMP's in what looks like a very tricky race of continuous tacking.

    Tx Vibex for your advice on WX Route updates vs creating a new Route. Unfortunately I did not see it until after the Carib Rum Run Race. You will see from my Report on that Race that I found out for myself during the Race. I might have done better than 9th if I had seen your advice earlier!!

    If you read my Carib Rum Run 2020 Report you will see how I am making early use of Qt. Can I encourage a discussion lead by those who know better on Qt Settings and how they impact results - Boat Settings/Tacks & Gybes, Route Settings-Best Performance vs Best Accuracy, Edit Route - Wind/Polar Corrections.

    As a result of not being given an opportunity to accept the Java risk I now cannot login on the Proxy.

    NMEA connection lost during the Carib Rum Race. Message is "Failed to connect to TCP Host 192.168.4.26 using Port 5010.Tried changing ports. Opened and closed QtVLM, BrainAid, Closed and opened Proxy. Checked my security software BitDefender. Finally shut everything down rebooted my computer. Reopened everything. Now when proxy is opened Java quickly jumps past risk approval and does not open it for me to approve. Proxy cannot be started. So the problem seems to be Java related. Any ideas out there? I would hate to not be able to continue the Carib Race. I do have a Qt Route to the Bacardi Pick-Up revised after 9/14 UTC 2223 WX with the DC's uploaded.

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
