I was using RTFOS.. I just tried Mercator.
If I check "UseTidal Stream" Gulf Stream Data, RTFOS or Mercator appears to be ignored.
If I uncheck it appears to use this data.
I was just asking if that was expected behaviour.

I am set to depart Hampton, VA this afternoon. Headed for Tortola, BVI
I will be in the middle of the Gulf Stream 0700 Dec. 2.
I am using RTOFS for current data. Weather pointer shows 3.5ks, 31T
Route has me heading 160T.
Set and drift are 174T, 0.5kts.
I have use tidal streams so it appears to be ignoring the current grib.
I uncheck that box and I get 3.4kts, 135T.
I just wanted to confirm that is expected data. I had assumed (dangerous) that tidal data would be overlayed ontop of Current GRIBs

Thanks. Where does it pull the SA time zone from. Since PC is set to EDT?

When viewing the chart it displays the Time Zone in upper left. It is currently saying SA Western Standard Time.
I picked boat up in SA but I am now in EDT. Computer is set to EDT. What setting controls what TZ is displayed.

Thanks

Tried in 11.17.2/ & .3. Throws no error just returns an empty route. It takes a while but when it does finish there is no route shown. Result tab shows an empty route. Iso optimise seems to be fine.
Last time i used the program about a month ago I did not notice an issue. I also don't recall if I normally use Isochronal but I typically don't touch that so it should have been set as it was last time I used it.

I'm following the Newport Bermuda race.
Class 14. I imported the YB positions and boats. Race id nb2022.
I set the handicaps from the Scratch Sheet I found on the Race web site.
See Below.
I set the start gun in as June 17, 1500
I set a course with mark off bermuda as active mark.
When I pull up Race Tracking I see Palantir5 with a corrected time of 1524d 23h... Next boat is 1571d 20h...
Which does not look right. What am I doing wrong?

Are there direct web links to the Expedition Weather Data so it can be retrieved via a Saildoc Query request or can only by direct import. There is a Sidekick FW in place and while they say it is possible to add exceptions I have not yet been able to get to work. So email is the only option ATM.
Thanks

This is happening for a friend. I can't reproduce it.
He sent me a screen shot and there are 100+ boxes showing from when he selected Wx data in the past.
I can't seem to get the screen shot to display in the post, but if you open the link that seems to work.
