    Hi Kipper
    A new "crash" when pasting dcs into window and pressing set; AGL locked up and threw the attached message in cmd line
    .
    .
    You weren't setting DCs, you were filtering a waypoint file (matches the stack trace line number and the FWP command). I suspect a filter tolerance dialog popped up and you entered something wrong in it, or it was hidden under other windows which caused the lock. One thing I notice is your path names have spaces in them. Probably not a good idea and I do not check for them. Hence why I think is saying the waypoint file is blank.

    AGL14.5.6 Release
    Board » Technical Discussion
    A new version of AGL with some great new features is here called AGL14_5_6_update.zip. Updated documentation is also available called AGL14 User Manual Ver 14.5.6.pdf and release notes in AGL14 Release Notes Ver 14.5.6.pdf. Please read release notes for bug fixes and enhancements. Note that this is an update and to be installed according to the update instructions in the manual.

    Before using the DC Data Table, read section 6 of the doc carefully, particularly about the csv file format requirements and specifying the date format. I have not trapped date and number parsing errors, so if there are issues, AGL will lock up with an exception reported in the cmd window.

    Since new version 4.5.3 the following appears in cmd line. AGL still seems to function ok so as it says "warning only"
    .
    .
    That warning has been there from the first version of AGL14. Not a problem.

    Hello,
    I first tried to install AGL14_4_1 on my Win11 PC. I followed the instructions in the manual, copied AG14_pause.bat and AG14.bat to another folder, and ran AG14_pause.bat, but a fatal error appeared as shown in the attached image. Java14 was installed, but deleting it did not change anything. Any hints on how to solve the problem would be appreciated.
    It has not been tested or compiled under Windows 11. Not much I can do about that in the short term, you'll need a Windows 10 PC for now.

    I put some checks into the code, but the problem has not manifested itself again after 4 sets of downloads. Version 14.4.2 has therefore been released, and is good to go.


    This issue is still in 14.4.2. I finally found the bug. It has to do with the NOAA download trying to access the SOL Wx information as the new SOL download is in progress. The result is that NOAA tries to access values that have not been set yet and the thread hangs on invalid data being read. The fix is currently being tested and should be release in the next day or so.

    Current work around is to restart AGL.

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!
