What is the path to get the Redport Optimizer to download grib files into Expedition? I am using optimizer from Inmarsat Fleet One Coastal service. Has anyone done this before?

Are you saying that the NMEA 0183 is the vdm messaging? Yes I am using NMEA 0183 AIS
in instrument setting for the Vesper. I have put NMSI in, my boat is reference 0. In my harbour and surrounding area there are no AIS targets so it is hard to see if it working.

If it's an XB-6000, can't you just connect via NMEA2000/Actisense? Is there a good reason to use USB instead of NMEA 2000?
I have Vesper Xb-8000. Yes I also NMEA 2000/ Actisense. I don’t have Vesper NMEA2000 cable from the unit to the backbone. I went USB because the vesper has it own gps and all my Raymarine data including gps come thru the actisense.

I have not found the VDM messaging in Expedition connection using USB via Vesper AIS. Where would you find that? You suggested this a few months ago. I was trying to hook up the Vesper AIS. I am using a USB hook up. Will it over lay on expedition or do I need get another device to see it transmit?

So I am fascinated, did you get the Vesper XB 8000 hooked up to Expedition? I am in the process. It is May 17 2022. I am hooking up by doing by USB and then I try NMEA 2000. It sounds tuff. The aerial, did you use their antenna. I have a Shakespeare vhf and AIS antenna I am about to use.

We are having the same non-connect problem in trying to get data into Expedition through Vesper wi-fi. Instrument settings have been: NMEA 0183 AIS, address: 192.168.15.1, port: 39150. Have tried both UDP and TCP client. Are there any other hidden settings that we don't know about? At times the screen populates with AIS targets, but but then nothing and no data stream.

Sail Chart. Looking to edit sail chart but can not find the sub bar under C:\ProgramData\Expedition\sails\ to bring up the info. How do I bring it up? It is probability very simple to the season veteran.

Ok, went thru the Channels:
TWA- 30
TWD-60
Next Mark TWA- 30
MarkTWA- 30
TWS-30
Current- 60
Set-60
rest set to zero
I am assuming these damping % s are too high. Should I put them to zero or 10%, I don't know what to do here. I just know the numbers dampen are too high and incorrect sails are beiing chosen incorrectly. I am on a fresh water lake. Why are the drift and set at 60? Looking for advice, Thanks.

I found my sail choses on the route display to be incorrect. It was blowing 28 kts that day and noticed Expedition had picked a chute to be 1/2 oz for the downwind leg and the #1 for upwind leg when it should have been the S4 and the J3. I think I dampen my numbers to keep relistic too much. Where do I find the place to dampen it and are there any other adjustment that I should also check? Thanks for your time!!!!
