As far as I can see from the manual, this devices sends $LXWP0 sentences. So it should work with the LX driver, if it really send wind information. To verify we need a NMEA log. |

According to software update In the config file there is a new entry called LXWPW. It is basically the LXWP0 sentence, with the wind information added:
$LXWP0,logger_stored, airspeed, airaltitude,vario,,,,,, hdg, windspeed*CS 0 loger_stored : [Y|N] 1 TAS [km/h] 2 baroaltitude [m] 3 vario[m/s] 4-8 not used 9 heading of glider 10 windcourse [deg] 11 windspeed [km/h]
$LXWP0,Y,222.3,1665.5,1.71,,,,,,239,174,10.1
I will try setting LXWPW on the xctracer and LX driver in LK8000 and see if it works |

Just tried driving with the XCtracer offset by about 40 degrees from my driving direction, I got a wind indication but it had a negative sign in front of it. here's a sample of NMEA log

with XCtracer you need to use XCtracer driver, even if you use 'LXWPW' config... |

Set LK8000 back to XCtracer driver with xctracer sending LXWPW, nmea log looks the same still get the minus sign or a dash on the wind indicator and in the nmea log. Not really sure if it will be a problem yet,I will have to fly to get a proper wind indication, a little difficult to simulate whilst driving |

right, XCTracer driver change nothing for wind bearing, but now you see Vario data coming from XCtracer, if you use LX Driver, vario data is calculated using GPS altitude.

Last thursday I made my first flight using LK8000 7.1Beta a few things I found.
In Task editor the button "Analyze" shows as "_@M1851" and when tapped it asks to reverse tha task (fly it the other way round), in below link a screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=15MI6TzXelJr5YWUPo8Eor_d8794nDBqt
Now and then I get the error message "Check Sum Fail" but LK8000 keeps on working normally (also happens in the stable 7.0 version)
External wind works! Thanks for that!
AutoMcready send to S80 Vario did not work, yesterday AutoMcready to S80 did work in the stable version 7.0. In 7.0 I used the LXV7 driver in stead of the LXV7-EXP driver in 7.1Beta.
in below link the runtime log of the flight with 7.1Beta last thursay.

I hope this helps!
