I am about to make my first foray into the world of soaring software.



I will, most likely, be using a Naviter Oudie Lite hooked up to a Cambridge 302. My focus will be cross country flight (versus contest flying) for the foreseeable future.



I have read reviews and comments about both XCSoar and LK8000. They both appear to be fine products with excellent functionality.



I would be interested in your comments on ease of use (both on the ground and in the air), learning curve / ease of set up, and if one is better suited for cross country flying.



Thanks in advance for your help!

I apologize for posting to this thread at this late date. I have been off-line for over 2 weeks dealing with a death in the family.

The developers of both products have every right to be proud of their accomplishments.

I want to thank everyone who posted. I learned a lot from the information posted and by following the conversations.
