Altough this seems strange in the first sight - it is actually very good for us pilots, as there is nothing better for software development as two compiting teams (see Linux development with its many distributions). Currently the newest stabile version is still old good 5.2.4. and I can recomend it as it works really good. In the future I expect LK8000 version 2.0 to come, optimized for PNA devices (Paolo's development) and independently XcSoar 6.0 probably working better for PDA (like mine hx4700). I will definietly test both releases and give you my recommendation. For PDA, I will as usual share "Tomek Pack" - the one I use myself for hx4700. Although a little confussing, these are a very exciting days and I expect a big steps in XcSoar/LK8000 development, where us normal pilots can only benefit! BTW - if you have some new airspaces data for 2010 - PLSE SEND me, so I can check it & SHARE on my site to everybody. >>> 12 October 2009 <<< New airspace file for Poland for 2009. >>> 26 August 2009 <<< New version of XcSoar is available - 5.24 A (pre-release). This version is from Rob with most of new Paolo code. It is the most important update in last months for PDA. Here it a detailed list changes from Rob: 1) In Select Waypoint and Airspace screens: * added Keyboard popup to Name filter * added popup Distance, Bearing and Type filters * spaced the rows further apart to make selecting more "fat-finger-friendly" * resized the columns so they don't overlap the scrollbar 2) Made the keyboard text input screens QWERT and added more chars (see both portrait and landscape) 3) In the Edit Task screen: * removed the [Advanced] button and added a [Save] and [Save As] buttons * made the [Load] button load the task with one click 4) Enlarged all popup windows to cover the whole screen. The idea here is that (a) the space is better used, and (b) it allows the pilot to more easily and quickly complete the dialog (e.g. Setup Wind) 5) enabled the PDA version to optionally run from an SD Card and access the data files from /SDCard/XCSoarData (just like the PNA version does) I did test this version very througly in France and it works PERFECT! To celebrate this great and long awaited update, I prepared a new Tomek Set v3 - ready to fly with French Alps as setup (easily changeble to De or so). Plse note: - for PNA's - use new Paolo's LK8000alfa9 - it has a lot of new code for PNA (I do not use it) - for old PDA - unfortunatelly Rob version I post here is a test version only - you must use 5.23 Beta 5 or 8 and wait for official release of 5.24. In this case just use my Tomek Set v2 for the time being >>> 8 July <<< Added section on making HX4700 running XCSoar on 640x480. Today hx4700 runs only in 320x240. Fixed some spelling errors. >>> 17 June <<< XcSoar 5.2.3 FB8 is available. "XCSoar Tomek Set 2" updated accordingly. Plse note that this version has introduced bug & double click on Airspaces does not work anymore. Shall you need this feature badly (like me) - stay on FB5 & wait for soon available official release 5.2.4. >>> 6 June 2009 <<< - Detailed waipoint desc file (WP_DESC.txt) has been updated with correct runways (thanks to Jockel). Secondly many polish airports has been checked & corrected - mostly on CZ border. Also updated description for Ramstein with newest Frequences. Corrected Bensheim, so it can be now displayed correctly. Rheinstetten Frequency corrected and other small corrections. The name of the file got also changed to WP_DESC_2.txt - Main Waypoint file (WP_DE_Alps_v5_SIP.dat) got several small updates & corrections. - German Airspace file (A_DE09.txt) got updated. Areas around Baumholder/Idar got better descriptions with Frequencies to check its statuses. Glider zone next to Rheinstetten got updated name with Frequencyto check its status. Finally removed 3 glider zones along DE-CZ border, as not really helpful. - New map created for Czech-Germany-Pland border strip - it is hi-resolution map (10 ARC - point every 300m) - New hi-resolution map for Germany created (10 ARC - point every 300m) - New hi-resolution map for Alps created (10 ARC - point every 300m) - New hi-resolution map for France created (10 ARC - point every 300m) - All changes above are now in "XCSoar Tomek Set 2" put together inc. new info fields layout.
