The Unofficial XCSoar Manual

From XCSoar

The xci file is a plain text file designed to control the input and events in your glide computer.

You do not require access to the source code or understanding of programming to write your own XCI files but it does require some advanced understanding of XCSoar and of gliding.

Some reasons to use xci:

• Modify the layout of button labels
• Support a new set or layout of buttons (organiser hardware buttons)
• Support an external device such as a bluetooth keyboard or gamepad
• Customise any button/key event
• Do multiple events from one key or glide computer triggered process

For more information on writing your own XCI see the [/advanced/input/ Advanced Input Manual]
