GA Aviation and Car mode
These are still experimental modalities, and can be activated by config menu 7 "Aircraft".
GA (General Aviation) will display a CDI gauge on the moving map, similar to that available on Garmin's flight navigators. In SIM mode, the GA plane will not sink.
GA mode is still primitive, and only a proof of concept. Adding full GA capability to LK is now just a matter of time.
In principle, calculations for GA are 10 times easier than for gliding! We shall need to clean up a lot the configuration for GA because most features are useless and misleading. But, no doubts that LK8000 will become soon a market reference for GA as well.
Car Mode This is a good modality for using LK8000 while driving, for testing purposes. There will be no landing and back takeoff at a traffic light, for example. On the moving map, no wind and no glide ratio indicators are displayed.
