Today May 22nd, 2013  we are releasing the first update for LK8000 v4.0.

After three months since the release of v4, we have fixed several non-critical issues.

We suggest users to upgrade to 4.0b, simply replacing the executables. A very fast and easy operation, nothing else is needed, nothing else is changing.

Only paragliders using the IGC Plugin will need to update it as well.

Read more, to learn what has been fixed in 4.0b.

Today, April 26th 2013, we have released a complementary module (plug-in) to be installed and used together LK version 4.0A . This plugin is required by some online competitions for paragliders, such like FAI/CIVL WXC,  XCBrasil, XC UK, and generally most of competitions that require compatibility with FAI/CIVL WXC.

The plugin is not required for OLC, XContest and many other competitions.

Pilots can get the plugin package from the Download section.

We are pleased to announce that FAI/CIVL WXC is accepting flight logs from LK!

The tracklogs will be accepted only if the new plugin for LKRECORD_PNA.LK8 is installed. This plugin will be released shortly, by the end of march.

We wish to thank John Stevenson ! Thanks John!

We are pleased to announce that UK XCL is "happy to accept tracklogs from LK8000", thanks to the help of all good people up there, and namely Richard Bungay !

The tracklogs will be accepted only if the new plugin for LKRECORD_PNA.LK8 is installed. This plugin will be released shortly.

Durval Henke has announced today that a solution to allow flight downloads (and probably also waypoint uploads) to PNA units running LK8000 is under development, in co-operation with the LK development team.

This solution will allow Competition Scorers to connect to a PNA just like they do with a dedicated custom unit (Flymaster, Garmin, Flytec, Digifly , etc.) with GpsDump, and thus allowing valid flight download from any LK PNA.

The solution will autonomously authenticate and validate flight logs, with no need of special plug-ins.

This is going to be valid for live competitions, not for online contests.

Thanks to an incredibly fast and professional help from mr Durval Henke, the XCBrasil service is now accepting the flight logs generated by LK.

The validation scheme requires pilots to install a "plug-in" inside the _Logger folder of LK8000.

This plugin will be available in a few days in the download section. Without this plugin, flight logs are not valid for XCBrasil.

We had been working on the plugin solution for some months, and after release of new 4.0 version the development was completed. When we contacted mr. Henke we got feedback in 1 hour, and immediately got the validation scheme accepted.

We all thank Durval for the fantastic support, and for the good things he is carrying on for the flight community.

The online contest dhv-xc.de is now accepting LK logfiles for the competition.

Special thanks to Peter Wild !

The language pack update is available updating Brasilian and adding Vietnamese language.

The new LK8000 v4.0 has been released on february 24th 2013.

This version took 12 months of development, and 18 beta releases tested by an average of 350 pilots around the world.

The new manual is already available for download.

Excellent news for all pilots!

After 8 months of testing, and an intermediate V1 version, here is the ultimate solution for flight, brought to you by VerticaSports in the UK.
