	Thanks Kipper. I get agreement in client, AGL, and raw nmea data in QT. It’s just the boats instruments that have integer TWS only. I think it’s therefore a QT problem or I have an incorrect setting somewhere. I will try a new load and see if I get the same then.

	Same issue here, can you let us know if you find the solution? Cheers. I have the latest version. I noticed something strange. The wind is currently 7.238knts in AGL, 7.24 in SOL and 7 in qt. However, if I open the polar in qt (from boat settings or clicking on the compass) the TWS is shown as 7.00knts and then if I turn off nmea, it then shows 7.24 knts. I wish I could go back one version of qt to try it there. Edit: installed 5.9_7 P2 and have decimal points in instruments back. --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 06:27:48 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 06:50:43 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 07:12:37 ---

Spoke to matai, there was a bug in last version, which he's now fixed..will be updated soon. meantime, the previous version works okay 5.9.7 P2. --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 08:02:52 --- --- Last Edited by Dingo at 2020-05-02 08:15:25 ---

	Well done John, I have reverted to 5.9-7 as well and now get full TWS. It was the same on the IOS version as well. I thought I was going mad with searching strange NMEA settings!

	Me too, I thought I was going mad searching the settings. Did discover a hundred other options I'd never looked at before though.

	Thanks Kipper, and sorry for the delay in replying. Attached the shell log, for the AGL_4_0_2. All I get is a gray flat screen when open the graphic interface. Turned openGL engine on an off but nothing changes. On a separate question, what is the font you use on the AGL3_2_2? I may have to install it as my machine is showing a hard to read one (see picture attached). Thanks much Kipper1258 said @ 2020-04-28 04:15:39: 1. seeU, an exception is being thrown by the low level openGL binding that I use, and I have no idea why. Can you please copy the feedback from the shell, drop it into a file and post here. Secondly, try turning off the openGL engine (on the Parameters tab) and see if you get a different result. --- Last Edited by seeUlater at 2020-05-06 16:33:32 --- Attachments Screen_Shot_2020-05-06_at_12.24.51_2.png (72.9 KB) Shell.rtf (2.1 KB)

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
