Hi,

This has happened a couple of times in the 2 years I have been using LK8000 on a Samsung S5 phone.

The Airspace information box is opened (the one that allows you to FLY-IN, DISABLE or SELECT it) and I am unable to CLOSE it (part of LK8000 appears to be happily working in the background). Thus I am unable to continue to use LK8000 and have to restart it and thus the IGC file (LOGGER_TMP.IGC) does not have the correct lines at the end (all of the data points are there but the final checkline is not included).

Is there a way to CLOSE the the information box if the CLOSE button does not work?

Is there a way to force LK8000 to correctly end the IGC file if it gets hunp up in some way.

Thanks for your EXCELLENT program.
Peter Evans

PS: I had a backup recorder so was able to load the IGC to XContext and claim my 311km ppg flight.

the other way to close dialog is escape key on keyboard , but you need keyboard..

untils v7.0, igc file are signed only after landing detection or "normal" shuddown.
since v7.1, igc file are always signed, according to CIVL Flight Recorder Specification.

question : how do you open this dialog when you have this problem ?

Thanks for the feedback ...

I'm using v7.0 from the Google Pay Store. How can I download v7.1?

You can get to the AIRSPACE box that I can't get out of in the following way
(M) (at bottom right of screen) > SCREEN VIEWS > PAN ON > WHATS HERE? > click one of the airspaces > SELECT

and then on my Android I am unable to close it or do anything ovver then restart my Samsung phone (CLOSE FLY-IN, DISABLE or SELECT)

Are there any emergency close gestures or screen hotspots that I can use on a smartphone if I don't have a keyboard?

Thanks in advance,
Peter Evans

I can't reproduce this problem with v7.0, which airspacefile are you using?
No we dont have emergency close gestures.

Hi AlphaLima,

I'm using the airspace file from http://xcaustralia.org/download/class_all_lk8000.php

How can I download and use the v7.1 version that brunotl mentioned earlier .... I gather that in 7.1 the "igc file are always signed, according to CIVL Flight Recorder Specification."

Is there any emergency escape sequence of keys that I can use on an Android (like pressing the ESCAPE key if I had a keyboard). When the airspace disalogue is open I notice that the volume UP and DOWN will step through and highlight the buttons but the screen does not allow me to CLICK the button. Would it be possible to use a LONG PRESS of a volume change button to initiate a screen click on the highlighted button or simulate pressing ESCAPE on a keyboard?

Thanks for your assistance,
Peter Evans

Peter,
which particular airspace(s) show this problem and where was the position of your glider.
Can you reproduce the problem in simulation mode?
