Today february 8th 2017 we are releasing the first public beta version of LK8000.

It is beta 6.1c, and we believe it is ready to be tested by people. You can download it from the Google Play Store searching for lk8000.

The new version has also several enhancement from 6.0.

Although this is only a beta version, subject to changes and to fixes, we think it is already usable in flight. Welcome aboard Android!

We are pleased to inform all users that we are alpha-testing  LK 6.0 running on Android.

Currently there are some issues to fix, and although the android version is already 100% stable and usable in flight we want to exit alpha stage before releasing to the public a beta version.

All resolutions are supported, screen rotation, internal sensors etc. as you would expect from LK.

Stand by for further announces, Merry Christmas and Happy 2017 to all of you.

A new developer has joined the team of LK, and the porting on Apple devices is on the way rapidly!

See further announces on our facebook pages.

Starting February 6th we are going to distribute an official beta version of the 6.0 release. If you are interested to experiment it, please visit our support forum for details.

This is officially a beta version, but many hundreds pilots have been using it running on Kobo for several months already. We are confident that the official 6.0 will be delivered by the end of the month after a short and - hopefully - successful wide test.

The development of the Linux and Kobo versions of LK have overcome any expectations, and we can announce the end of alpha tests. The new LK is also progressed a lot with some nice enhancements that have been added since official 5.0 concerning user interface.

We should soon plan the start of beta tests and delivery of 5.3 version for PC, PNA, LINUX and KOBO.

Our LK8000.ORG domain has been hijacked for more than five years, and the story was neverending. Finally an english gentleman, Pete MacLaughlin stepped in and generously tranferred the ownership back to us, donating not only the domain but also paying for the releative expenses!

Pete is a skydiver and paraglider pilot, among some of the most experienced and professional Tandem Skydiving Instructors in the UK. If you want to try a tandem skydiving over Wiltshire from up to 15,000 feet contact him on www.petemac.co.uk .

Thanks so much, Pete!

We are happy to announce that the development system for LK8000 is available for download!

We have prepared a complete virtual machine for VMWARE player (free download) running Debian 7 Linux with all necessary packages preinstalled, instructions, menus, github ready to download updated version, testing environment. Everything needed to compile LK8000 for all platforms: PC, PNA, PPC, LINUX and ARM LINUX - KOBO.

Start the virtual machine, and you get inside Nimbus. You can compile LK8000 in less than 10 minutes from the machine startup! No more troubles looking for required packages, no more headaches trying to figure out why the compiler is giving all those nasty errors: everything will run smoothly and you can dedicate your time to immediately contribute to the project.
