Bridge Command General Support / Re: AIS - Something is working, but ships wont show up in BC

« Last post by hhandresen on April 04, 2021, 08:57:09 PM »

Hi,

I found out that if othership numbers are max 38, ais target will automatically pair up - but if 39 it will not math, and if 40 and more, othership will not show up in map controller at all.

Hope you can use the information

Thanks for the update. I'll check why they don't automatically match.

Finally I got it to work - My mistake I had already put in the MMSI-Number in othership.ini So could not map it in Map Controller.

I will suggest an update so it will map automatically if MMSI match

Or even better - what about autocreation of MMSI targets ??

Thanks for the very nice simulator.

Bridge Command General Support / AIS - Something is working, but ships wont show up in BC

« Last post by hhandresen on April 02, 2021, 07:39:48 PM »

Hi,

I got AIS up and running and have a World in the area of receiving AIS targets.
In Map Controller I can see the targets, but I don't find out how to link them to BC.
I created all the targets in othership.ini (and can see them in the BC but they are not mooving)

Please advice.

Number=1
Type(1)="Alkmini"
InitLong(1)=8.4233
InitLat(1)=55.4718
mmsi(1)=2190045

Number=2
Type(2)="Alkmini"
InitLong(2)=8.442
InitLat(2)=55.4615
mmsi(2)=219000603

Number=3
Type(3)="Alkmini"
InitLong(3)=8.4397
InitLat(3)=55.4608
mmsi(3)=219000604

Hi,

I'm building my own World - and I actually got something to work here in Denmark.

But if any other Worlds available I'm also interested.

Hi, can I check if you are looking for world models that have already been created, or source data to build your own area?

Feature requests & suggestions / Re: OpenCPN plugin for Bridge Command use

« Last post by forum_admin on February 26, 2021, 10:33:13 PM »

Hi, can I check what you have been able to do so far, and any problems you have run into?

Do you want to run Bridge Command and OpenCPN on the same computer, or on different ones?

By default, Bridge Command will send NMEA data over UDP on port 10110 to localhost (i.e. the computer Bridge Command is running on). You can change these settings in the NMEA tab of the Bridge Command 'Settings: Main' section.

In OpenCPN, you can set up the incoming connections as shown in https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=opencpn:opencpn_user_manual:options_setting:connections

If you can let me know any specific questions or problems, I may be able to help more.

Bridge Command General Support / Re: Ship console config 5.4

« Last post by forum_admin on February 22, 2021, 10:39:33 PM »

Just as an update, the problems with the Ship Console should be fixed since version 5.4.3.

Based on reports from users, one of the following settings should work:

port_throttle_channel=8
stbd_throttle_channel=7
rudder_channel=6

or

port_throttle_channel=3
stbd_throttle_channel=2
rudder_channel=1

Ship console users - please let me know what works for you!
