Condor setup - using AutoHotkey
Condor setup - using AutoHotkey
As many will already know it pays to have everything you need organised before you start a Condor flight - especially an online one. You may just use a checklist - a perfectly valid approach.
The Autohotkey script presented here attempts to automate as much as possible of the setup. It is directed principally towards the Oculus Rift / Rift S, but can of course be modified.
To use:
Download and install Autohotkey - if you don’t already have it - see here
Download the scripts (below) all to the same folder (it can be your desktop)
Double-clicking on Condor2GO will start everything going
The scripts
The scripts
Condor2GO
Condor2GO
Condor2GO.ahk runs a GUI which allows you to select items that you want to run preflight. Adjust the checkboxes as desired.
The Condor2GO script runs once according the to the options you select.
Note that some windows can be closed or manipulated using AHK, others can't. There will be some manual minimising of windows to do after the script runs.
If you are using the ‘ManyButtons’ control solution, place a copy of the .txt file in your " \Documents\Condor" folder (or edit the path in the ManyButtonsxx.ahk script)
CoTaCoRun
CoTaCoRun
CoTaCoRun.ahk runs a separate GUI which persists after Condor2GO has stopped. It gives several convenient options for running CoTaCo.
The CoTaCoRun script will automatically look for your CoTaCo files in " \Documents\Condor\CoTaCo" - either place them here or edit the CoTaCoRun script if you want this elsewhere.
Date Script
Date Script
Datestamp.ahk is a tiny script that simply pastes today's date in YYMMDD format when you press 'Control D'. It's handy for naming files in a sortable format.
The ‘Datestamp’ and CoTaCoRun persist until you stop them (via the Windows system tray).
Customisation
Customisation
If you want to change the default settings of checkboxes / radio buttons, edit the file (see here) and search for the word ‘checked’. Placing the word in the same relative position to your preferred item will switch the item 'on' in the GUI.
Placing ‘;’ characters at the start of a line of ahk code will disable that line if desired (e.g. if you don’t want to see the ‘Run TrackIR’ item and checkbox, place a ";" at the start of that line in the GUI script). Conversely, removing them will activate a line.
(Code for HW VSP starting is included in Condor2GO - however this VSP is less reliable and may not allow XCSoar to close correctly - hence VSPE is the suggested VSP. This code can be enabled if desired by editing as above.)
