Yes! it's SQL data base. Grib file is data base too, but simplified. And to route actual is 6-9 hours of Virtual regatta weather. The rest should be ECMWF. Otherwise feeling is like sitting on crazy horse or rodeo horse. You know that direction will be in another way but routing shows different way....

I'm curious how to put in calculations ECMWF? Definitely 3ve3da uses ECMWF. Crossed doldrums and there was different predictions on GFS and ECMWF. Hoped that GFS will be true. False! Pushed hard to north and everybody moved to hard West. ECMWF 2 days earlier showed that near Azores will be corridor ...

I mostly compute routes on Linux and MacOsx, new see that, a switch from a Mac at Job time to my Linux big box at home, and it is consitant over time. Is this related to Windows, never eard of this from other players, and majority of them use Windows10. People are different. I'm engineer type and p...

@R3D2, When computing long distance routes, use INSANE 2PAss => iso are 1/83° precision (you can edit theses in Advanced Parameters) I know. I already made over custom, as you see - 1/102 With this table I wished to show, that not always Avalon is good on calculations on choosing Insane 2 or more. ...

Made some calculations. Interesting that Ultra promised the best result and after restart of program the time was better. Procedure was to get as much close to time of ZEZO in coordinates and calculate correlation of route ending point as we know that to go 1 nautical minute with speed ~20 kTs will ...

Before restart to destination point.

Killing Java process not always works well.
Last time screen hanged up. Killing process turns off the screen but problem appears again!

Real router fight. On the night the Avalon with High calculation was in front of Zezo. On morning weather forecast Zezo is in front of Avalon. 35 min difference on 2000 nm. Tried all calculation methods - result ar Cape Horne 4:20 constantly. Feels like calculation methods sometimes not working. Som...

By the way, I forgot to mention, that I'm sailing from 2000 on grand mother of IMOCA yachts S/Y SPANIEL. Previously the yacht has a name SPANIEL II which participated in the OSTAR 1980. She and Kazimierz Jaworski on record time crossed Atlantic for monohulls - 19 days 13 hours 25 min. https://rwyc.o...

Hi! Let's exchange impressions about the Vendee 2020 and Avalon on English. For me. Was a bit interesting. I started with Avalon later, from Canaries or Cape Verde as I missed turn to Azores Low pressure change and needed to catch the front runners. Any way I like this race. Absolutely different fro...

V 10-4 Using and lost in days almoust 30min to Zezo. Calculating insane 2 pass to Cape Horn. On i9 ~ 6-7 min. Latest weather forecasts. Just only one time something changed cardinally. That's 20-30 min. lost. Overall 1 hour lost. 2 hours to first place. Something not really right on such a much move...

It's unbelievable mistake to calculate SOG from pollars and not to put IF in calculation!!! When SOG at 33 -> 34 ->35 --> 37 kTs Hope you fix soon!!! Moves routing to ZEZO Ok. As I understood from Jef in his post on French Technical discussion, there is problem with - Filter laylines. Turned off. S...

There is some mistake. Wrong sail showed up
As in table at 18 kTs TWS 132 TWD
Code-0 foils 18.61 kTs
Heavy-gnk foils 18.66 kTs

V 1.10-1
Version 3.14.2
java version "1.8.0_271"
Windows 10 64bit

If you use VRDASHBOARD 3.14.2, then you must use 1.10 original. VRDASHBOARD 3.14.1 send TWD instead of TWA, this was a mistake from VRDASHBOARD. And corrected nack in version 3.14.2, so the original AvalonVirtual 1.10 is right now. Bye Fun is that, that I'm using 3.14.2 and 1.10 AvalonVirtual.jar 8...

Restarted Zezo and again the same problem appeared.

TWD and TWA


Downloaded latest weather forecasts from ~ 196h and this appeared.
ZEZO everything is fine.
Restarted browser.
Restarted program.
Restarted windows 10 - waiting for NMEA latest position
