http://www.bware.it/LK8000/LK8000-310J-UPGRADE.ZIP
this time we were quick.
LK8000 VERSION 3.1j 121208
==========================
NEW THINGS
. Add north-up orientation and configuration for Multimaps in config menu 10.
Multimaps 1-3 are saved to profiles.
Values can be Disabled, Normal, North up.
Default Normal for everybody.
. We remember zoom levels for each multimap, changed at runtime.
. Airspace Filter (All below, Auto, Clip) now work in multimap
. New configuration for Bottom Bar TRM0 AUTO mode: selection can be made automatic upon
entering thermal mode. By default it is enabled, as it has been so far.
CHANGES
. (3.1i) Change sequence number of multimaps, from 1 to 4, leaving main map using old style
bottom bitmaps icons for final glide etc
. Fast exit from thermal mode. Previously up to 15 seconds, now 10 seconds.
. Show required Task Req. Efficiency also before valid start.
. Use full width for turn point list in task edit window and always draw tp radius after tp name
in this list.
. Menu Screen View: Set Map submenu not available out of main moving map, to avoid confusion.
Removed duplicated buttons map orientation inside Set Map menu, to simplify.
. Snail trail button in Display 2/3 disabled out of main moving map.
Same thing for DspMode Thermal/Cruise/Final/Auto in Display 3/3
Display menu now consistent with multimaps
. Some Map Orient buttons not available in multimaps, except for north up and track up
. While circling keep showing Bearing Diff, instead of adopting bearing on overlays and in infopage
FIXES
. Fix 3,0 bug after loading a waypoint file without a valid header line , LK was correctly discovering the
real waypoint format and it was correctly loading waypoints, but the filename of wp file was
disappearing in config. So at the next run, wp file was no more configured.
. Fix 3.1i bug AutoAdvance not working for Arm Start mode.
. Fix GlideSlope bug in 3.1i, found by Dave
. Fix bug FAI Close jumping far away if not defined
. Fix bug in 3.1 not closing correctly NMEA log.
. Fix PG Task optimized point offset with negative longitude
. Fix zoom in/out screenview buttons working in multimaps
. Fix topology not shown correctly after changing from low zoom levels

I was just having a quick play with this release on my pc and noticed the thermal circle is now just a white circle with no black edges. It makes it hard to see when on light back grounds.
Is there a way to turn off the FAI sectors on the map. In 11 yrs of flying I have only managed 3 triangles
in my usual flying area, Western Australia, flattest state in the flattest continent. It is normally fairly windy for PG
so we just run downwind. |

Magic; thanks.
Quick question: you have been so quick I have not had time to even look at 3.1i - still with 3.1h.
Can I install the 3.1j update straight away, or should I first install the 3.1i update?
(Many will have heard of EASA.  Working on it for both BGA & EGU is keeping me away from actual aviation)

No you don't need 3.1i first. you need a full installation (3.00B) and the 3.1j update only. |

But Andy, you've just proved the point, that is what EASA is all about. Don't think you will have a problem going straight to .j. Do try portrait, MMs are really good in that.
If you mean the optimiser sectors rmerigan,it's Display 2/3, the rotate through Draw Task/Draw FAI/Nodraw TaskFAI.
AlphaLima beat me to it! |

There is something very odd happening in MM3. In Sim I set up a task and started to glide at 60 kts along the first leg to the NE (MM 1 and 2 set to N up, MM3 default). In MM3 with default zoom at about 2/3 kms along the bottom scale, initially the airspace blocks, jump backwards and forwards about 2 mm on the PC screen on a 2 sec cycle. Then zoom out to about 50 kms and it continues to zoom out automatically about 10kms every few secs, then zooms in a bit, and starts to zoom out again. It's all abit difficult to describe, so I hope this gives an idea.It must be something to do with the auto zoom when getting nearer to, or further away from airspace, but it is very odd to watch, with different bits of the display moving at slightly different times.
Now we've got MMs, and sonar works on all screens, do we really need MM3? Just asking. |

Andy: you can upgrade to any 3.1 simply replacing the package files. It is an upgrade over any 3.x version.
Dave, of course if you dont need M3 you can disable it, right now.
M3 has an automatic zoom to the nearest airspace, and I know you are flying in the most crowdy airspace place in the world! So I can guess this is why it keep jumping around different distances.
In my case, M3 is simply giving me at a glance the situation about asp around me, with no need to zoom.
Thermal circle has been hit by a bug, it will be fixed back. |

Yes thanks, I've sussed out the disable, but I'm not sure about the other 2 "problems". I've also checked on the V2, so it's not just on the PC. The whole MM3 picture is unstable, oscillating horizontally, in sync with the logger dot in the bottom RH corner. I'm sure you are right about the "auto" zoom, but it looks very odd, steadily changing at about 900 kph (10kms in 40 secs).

Then we need again the complete environment to download, and test on PC. Once we replicate it, we fix it..
Thanks Dave as usual!

| On GliderGuider it is not possible for me to get into the sub menus of "Setup LK8000". I jump directly to the System Setup. |

sck, check that you have copied ALL of the upgrade files in place. You are missing an upgrade of _System DEFAULT_MENU.TXT particularly. If not anything else more..

I confirm there is still a problem somewhere in 3.1j, probably related to M3 (M3 in latest version, M4 in the previous numbering scheme).
I am investigating. |

| Somehow I suddenly cant access the multimaps by clicking left or right. It happened after changing various settings in the setup. I changed many things at once (but not the multi map settings!), so I cant tell if any of this caused the problem. Anyone else got this problem? |

Can you somehow reproduce it?
Was it on PC?
Are you sure you did not activate ActiveMap accidently? |
