I've created a simplified setup for LK8000 on the Kobo if anyone wants to try it. I have zipped up the entire LK8000 folder from the Kobo so if you replace the folder on your Kobo with my one you will have the exact setup I have. Obviously this will overwrite any setup you may have done. It might not be exactly to your taste but it should be a good starting point with a lot of the crap we don't need disabled.

To: tvhgc_members@googlegroups.comIt should be fairly identical to XCSoar in screen layout as its the same base code, as Richard says the test Kobo version isn't finished yet. Where is differs is in the user input XCS has slightly different ways to interact e.g. zoom... designed to be simpler to use with PGing (one button clicks rather than swipe) especially with frozen hands ;-)That reminds me one other feature LK has is screen lock, which has been missing for XCsoar (unless someone says it's recently been added). Basically LK can lock the screen to avoid options and screens being tampered with by our PG/HG kit during launch. Once airborne it automatically disables the screen lock. I've always missed this on XCS.On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 8:13 AM, Richard Chambers <rchambersuk@gmail.com> wrote:Landscape is an option in LK8000, it just isn't implemented on Kobo yet. It is worth getting used to it as it actually works for paragliding competitions unlike XCSoar. I used it in the British Open last year as my main instrument (on a Funtrek 130 not a Kobo) and it was flawless.RichardOn Thu, 26 Feb 2015 at 07:53 Martin Butcher <m1rt2n@hotmail.com> wrote:One advantage that XCSoar does have is the screen display - you can change the size of the fonts and split up the display boxs and use it in landscape. I have just been using LK8000 on the way to work and (for us oldies) it is harder to see the info at the bottom of the page than with XCSoar

The version people are trailing is just a pre-release test version of a port of the established Windows version over on to Linux, but it does seem pretty stable. Only time will tell if everything works as it should.Martin

Sent from my iPadin words of one syllable can you tell me what the benefits of lk8000 over xcsoar are?On Wed, 25 Feb 2015 at 17:56 Nik Valiris <nik.valiris@hotmail.co.uk> wrote:At the moment only one at a time but putting the koboroot file on, but I can swap on the pc.
Tried lk8000 today on Rybury in the air and seemed to be perfect and no issues.

LK8000 has always been geared more toward the PG/HG pilot with many more features in that respect than XCSoar used by sailplane pilots. http://www.lk8000.it/
Those who built Kobo's may have used the common BlueFly vario module and GPS module but there was a little issue with that but the developers worked over the last few nights and that's now working ;-) All the GPS and Barometric integration seems to work nicely.
This is all for technically savvy users and home built tech, if your not into this then ignore this message.
