If not, is anyone working on a "US contest" package for either program?

Please no flame wars on how stupid our rules are for using cylinders, 2 minute rules, in air task changes, etc. The rules are what they are. The question is, can this software help a pilot to deal with the rules as they are?

John -

I used LK8000 as my only flight computer during the 2012 Montague
Nationals. It works fine for US contests.

There are a few fiddly bits to EVERY flight computer (LK, XCSoar, LX,
Cambridge, SYM - it doesn't matter which one you choose). But LK8000
works fine with US rules and US tasks.

If anyone has questions about how to set up LK8000 for a US contest,
feel free to contact me and I'll be glad to help! (although there
aren't any hard or "secret" settings)

Enjoy,
