	MapQuest has changed yesterday its policy for tile/map diffusion. As a consequence qtVlm can't access anymore to their map atm. We are working on a solution. In order to have a map displayed if you used to have mapQuest: - go to qtVlm / Configuration / Map - select either: * offline maps (VLM) = gshhs * online VLM maps (gshhs + elevation) to which you can add openSeaMap info This has no impact on mbTiles or kap config

	Hello, As maitai will be back from vacations I guess that we will provide a new release next week
Posted by JB Posts 305 Registered at 2013-03-07 08:54:34	2016-08-01 08:31:23 - qTVlm 5.3.8 bug report.
	Good morning all. The new qT version displays the boat Polar wrongly. Please compare the two images got from the SOL client and from qT (with the GPS connected). Sail Fair. Attachments qT_Polar.JPG (175.5 KB) SOL_Polar.jpg (401.1 KB)

	Yep JB The QT speed polar is 90 degress off. I've posted this in QT-forum. So let's see what they read first --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2016-08-01 10:03:09 ---

	There was a typo in this function and as a result qtVlm is using twa instead of twd to rotate the polar (only when receiving it through nmea data). This is fixed and will be in the next release.

	I want to be able to run 2 (or more) QtVlm's on the same computer, simultaneously. Anyone knows how to? Maybe a small setup tutorial! --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2016-08-07 04:53:26 ---

	Viva Finn. Good morning. Install the second qT in a different directory, ex.:"c:/Program Files/qTVlm2". Sail Fair.

	I did install qtvlm in d:\qt\. works nice. So you could install in \race1 \race2 \race3 etc. If you are short in drive/disk space maybe this is not a good option. About 500 MB needed for every installation. If you want to route more races at the same time then you have to consider how much your cpu/processor can take. If your computer gets terribly slow or qtvlm crashes then you know you excecuted one task too much... alternatives?: - In the same instance of qtvlm you could change the polar of your boat if you would start routing for a new race.... then stop the nmea-proxy for the old race and start the new one.. deleting "old" routes help to avoid confusion around which route is going to where. - In the qtvlm folder are only 4 files that change with every routing. You could try to put these files in a race1 folder/map. You should make a map for every race you want to route. If after six hours you return to race1 just copy the files from race1 to their original places and you should be ready to go. files to copy boatAccReal.dat poiReal.dat qtVlm.ini traceSave.comp I did not try this alternative till now. But will give it a go when/if I do more races at th same time.

SOL's Bermuda Triangle TIMED Race 2023
Inspired by the America’s Cup racing in Bermuda, this is a fun triangular course of 90nm, which we originally raced with psail and bonkhoot’s collaborative polar for the AC72 foiling catamaran. Having tried the course in the more pedestrian Open 60 in 2021, this year we return to the AC72, in fact to the MODIFIED AC72v2, modified to remove the inconsistencies that obtained from the original interpolation of the limited data issued by the AC 2003 Principal Race Officer in connection with penalties determination. This is a TIMED race, which means you get multiple chances to try out the ramifications of the revisions. Be careful though, the polar remains a handling challenge with major stall-out potential!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2023
Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your Volvo70s well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2023 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2023. Please have fun! Fair winds!
