MissionPlannerLite aims to be a light - lite - version of MissionPlanner that:

1. Runs as fast as possible on both Windows and Linux and doesn’t get slower when used for long.
2. Doesn’t collect/store data or do any sluggish background tasks
3. Supports Linux better - final target is to be as native to Linux as possible. Now it already runs faster on wine or mono.
4. Only includes features for real flights - no simulator, telemtery configurator or other secondary features that makes MissionPlanner very slow and sluggish when doing actual critical work.
5. Not a replacement, as you’d need MissionPlanner for seconday or rarely used features.

Lite patches/commits lives at MissionPlannerLite branch.

Now it could already be compiled on Linux using https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/

After installation goes to MissionPlannerLite directory and run git checkout MissionPlannerLite

msbuild -r MissionPlanner.sln /t:MissionPlanner /p:Configuration=Release,Optimize=true,DebugSymbols=false /p:BuildProjectReferences=true

Note: You've to use a case-insensitive filesystem on Linux. Or you can use WSL as it's case-insensitive by default. Note: It could of course be compiled using Visual Studio normally.

Feedback is welcome :)
