I have been using LK8000 for years, but recently I have been doing lots of flying in Condor 2 competitions. LK8000 is a wonderful aid.

Some of the starts are Grand Prix style, so getting to the start line at the precise starting time is very important.

I can't for the life of me find a way of getting LK8000 to give me an ETE (Estimated Time En Route) for the Start Line. I was expecting the Next ETE to do the trick, but it doesn't start showing time until after the race has started.

If there is no Task set, Next ETE works beautifully it seems. Is there a way to get an ETE to the start line - without having to run two separate devices? Is there some other data field that I am missing perhaps?

We have it on Paragliding, it's called Time Gates.

This is a old request, If I am not wrong: https://github.com/LK8000/LK8000/issues/90

So to get this to work I have to set the aircraft config category to Paraglider/Hanglider even though I fly a sailplane (glider in aircraft config category)?
