	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

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.

Current Races:

Auckland to Fiji 2023
Welcome to Auckland and, for the fifth time in Sailonline's history, an epic race to the Melanesian island of Fiji, some 1144nm away. The iconic Steinlager 2 has traditionally been our boat of choice for this event, including in 2020, the last time we raced the course – alone, unaccompanied by a real fleet as it had been #COVID19 quarantined. Alas, this year we will again be racing unaccompanied as low entry numbers has seen the real race cancelled. Hopefully, though, some of the real sailors from the Royal Akarana YC, hosts of the real event, will be joining us online to pit their skills against ours in the ever-changing forecast winds.

Cape Town to Auckland 2023
Welcome to this second RTW race 2023. It's also the June edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is slightly different from the one sailed in 2020, which then also was part of the RTW series.
This time we will race in the IMOCA 60 foil, as in all RTW races this year. That should guarantee the fun in the South Seas in a truly tough race.

CA 500 2023

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the TransPac Ocean Race in 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for line-honours machines.
