LK8000 Portrait mode in PC sim mode
I use Trackup with north up above 7km zoom. This is like SYM is working, and
I did it the same.
In landscape mode most people prefer to use north smart, with LK.
North smart is like north up, but the glider is repositioned automatically
to make more space in front of it on the moving map.
But I guess it is a matter of personal preference, and if you are used to
portrait mode you can use it in LK too, in fact it is fully supported of
course.

Paolo, north up makes even less sense most of the time!
To me (and I used to navigate planes for a living so I'm a bit biased)
the only orientation that really makes sense is Heading up -
especially if there is a lot of crosswind. I want the map to mirror
what is outside the cockpit, and with track up and a crosswind, it's
possible for a feature in the distance (mountain, for example) to be
on one side of the map centerline, but on the other side of the
canopy, due to the glider's crab angle.
For this to be useful, of course, you need a good indication of the
actual ground track, so you can adjust your heading accordingly.
This, naturally, is how I have SYM configured in my glider.
