Keyboard and Button Commands
Most menu items can be bound to joysticks buttons or keyboard shortcuts
LiveTraffic offers "commands" for the most important menu items. These "commands" show up in X-Planes configuration screens for Joystick and Keyboard asignments. All of them are grouped under the top-level category "LiveTraffic".
| Menu Item | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
Status / Information... | Info_Staus_Wnd/Open | Opens/Closes the Information/Status window |
Aircraft Info... | Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Open | Opens an aircraft information window |
Aircraft Info... (Popped out) | Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Open_Popped_Out | Opens a popped out aircraft information window (separate OS-level window) |
Aircraft Info shown | Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Hide_Show | Hides/Shows all aircraft information windows, but does not close |
Close All Windows | Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Close_All | Closes all aircraft information windows |
Aircraft displayed | Aircrafts/Display | Starts/Stops display of live aircraft |
TCAS controlled | Aircrafts/TCAS_Control | TCAS Control: Tries to take control over AI aircraft |
Labels shown | Aircrafts/Toggle_Labels | Toggle display of labels in current view |
Hide Aircraft ahead | Aircrafts/Toggle_Ahead | Toggle visibility of aircraft ahead |
Settings... | Settings/Open | Opens/Closes the Settings window |
In X-Plane, the description is shown as the text to select in the configuration dialogs.
All commands are executed on key/button down event only, i.e. just once, no matter how long you press a key or button.
And sorry for the "Aircrafts" and "Staus" misnomer...for historical reasons that needs to stay now, otherwise all users' assignments to these commands would be lost.
Keyboard Assignment
Go to X-Plane's settings for Keyboard. See here for X-Plane's manual on using the settings dialog. You find the LiveTraffic commands most easily when selecting Plugin Provided:
Assigned keyboard shortcuts appear on the menu next to the respective menu item, which helps remembering them.
Joystick Button Assignment
Similarly, when assigning joystick buttons (see here for X-Plane manual) you can refer to the very same commands in the right hand command selection:
