Tool for controlling XCSoar and LK8000

[ryanwoodie]

Here is an enhanced version of the common AutoHotKey script, that provides a user interface (versus having to code it yourself in AHK) to setup keys or joystick buttons/axes to control XCSoar or LK8000 without leaving Condor.

Map joystick controls/buttons, or keys, to control XCSoar or LK8000. Great for VR.

This script controls XCSoar/LK8000 without losing focus (except to toggle mouse control) on your active app (ie. Condor).

Besides switching pages or zooming in/out, here are some of the other things you can do in XCsoar / LK8000 without leaving Condor or VR:

• Go to the F1 Menu, access menus and adjust settings (eg: add ballast in "Flight Setup")
• Go to Pan Mode, look around the map and zoom in/out to plan out your route
• Go to next or prev waypoint
• Change MC setting
• Toggle between XCSoar/LK8000 and Condor as the active application, so you can use your mouse as needed.
• In LK8000, navigate between bottom bar fields and data pages, use multi-target, custom menu buttons, etc.
