Yes LK8000 is a fork from XCSoar. Paolo did the 5.2.4 PNA XCSoar
Version and then developed his own free LK8000
I can say as a beta tester. XCSoar is full of really bad bugs. It
crashes often. It calculates wrong! Paolo bugfixed hundreds of real
heavy bugs. Now LK8000 is nearly ready do rollout, but we want to test
it even more.
So highly not recommend XCSoar. I really could be dangerous to trust
wrong calculations. Sorry to say but its the truth.
We are often not understand how this bad bugs could stay in XCSoar so
long and no one noticed them. No one really tested it?
