Any update yet on what the second icon (not the foil icon) means yet? I am most curious!

I guess these are the boats that support the UNESCO meteorological program with drifting buoys, weather stations…
You can check the list of these boats and compare with the boats with this kind of duck.

This a great plugin I've really enjoyed using it! However it now seems to have disappeared and no longer shows in the available plugins. Has it been taken down or is there an issue with my PC?

@Rovi56
It is still in the list of plugins, but the name has been changed.

Same as @Rovi56 : the plugin is not in the list anymore.

Thanks for the help!

Hello everybody, not sure whether the information reached this forum : the Vendée Globe organizers have asked me to unpublish the plugin :/ You can still install it from its URL as pointed out by @wrgecko and I have published an ugly page just in case some need instructions here : https://regadata.com/plugin

FabioMK

@wrgecko Thank you, it works with this, otherwise it is no more in the default list

@kbsali

We know the problem your excellent plugin is encountering because of the VG staff decision. This has been explained but in different threads than this one, there are several on the Vendée Globe. Fortunately the latest version of your plugin can be loaded manually now.

@idefix37 thanks a lot :)

Thanks @wrgecko for the URL!
Thanks @idefix37 for sharing the (sad and disgraceful) news!
Thanks @kbsali for the dev/maintenance of this great plugin!
