OpenCPN not connecting to vcharts
Hi,
We're having trouble getting any charts to come up on OpenCPN on our second computer. We are having no trouble at all with the first one and, as far as I can see, everything relevant is identical.
The VERY small scale world map appears along with all the tide and current stations, and AIS targets, but no larger scale charts.
We downloaded the oesenc charts for British Columbia. Don't work.
After tearing our hair out for a couple of days I thought, wait, maybe it's a security issue with the computer name or something - so I downloaded the US (NOAA) charts for Washington state which presumably don't have a security layer. Doesn't work!
I'm at my wits end here! Can anybody help?
Thank you very, very much in advance.
PS. It's an older HP laptop running the latest Windows 10.

Hi Dave,
Attached please find the logfile. It's in PDF format as ".log" apparently isn't acceptable for attachment here.
Note that the "v" in "vcharts" in the title was a typo and not meant to be there.
Thanks for this and for everything you guys do!
-Bill

Re: OpenCPN not connecting to vcharts
Bill, this is a log file of the installation. I think you should post the log file of OpenCPN running. For location look in the help option "?"

Thank you, Thank you, Thank You. I've been looking all over for those files and there was the info: right under my nose.
I will send them out as soon as my partner is up and I can use her cell phone data plan. Mine's not up to it.
Thanks again!

Re: OpenCPN not connecting to vcharts
Hi guys,
I've attached three files. I REALLY hope you find the problem in there somewhere and we can get it fixed!
Thank you for everything you do!

Oh, and I've added ".pdf" to the end of each file name in order to get them to you. I guess you'll have to take that off to be able to use them.
Thanks again!

Re: OpenCPN not connecting to vcharts
You have disabled the oeSENC plugin, go to Toolbox->Plugins and turn it on.
If it won't solve your problem, please attach the logfile with the plugin enabled.

Re: OpenCPN not connecting to vcharts
Also make sure you have your chart directories configured correctly - the only charts that (if they actually exist on your computer) you might see now are the ones in "C:\Users\Public\OpenCPN Charts\Washington charts"

We appear to have solved the problem. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
I have re-established the links to the OESENC charts and they are working. I have no idea how the OESENC plug-in became disabled.
With regards to the Washington State charts, it appears that I only downloaded the directory, not the charts - so that is, I expect, why they didn't show up. But that was only a test. We really don't need them - at least at this time (the border is still closed). Besides, British Columbia is MUCH more interesting! 😊
Again, thank you all
