edxlc.exe. The app runs in a console window. Exit with Ctrl+C or just close the console window.On first run the app creates a simple text file called
edxlc.toml. Edit this file to change how the app behaves. Restart the app after making any changes to this file. To reset to defaults delete the file.The app detects the following:
- Landing gear deployed
- Cargo scoop open
- External lights activated
- Frame shift drive (FSD) charging
- Silent running activated
- Hardpoints deployed
- Night vision activated
- Inactive - Green (Off) - Not currently activated but can be activated
- Active - Amber (On) - Currently activated
- Blocked - Red (Off) - Cannot be activated
- Alert - Flashing Red/Amber (Flashing) - May need to be activated urgently
When hardpoints are deployed or night vision is activated the app switches to an alternative configuration.
The default configurations in
edxlc.toml are:
Code:
[default]
inactive = ["off", "green"]
active = ["on", "amber"]
blocked = ["off", "red"]
alert = ["flash", "amber-flash"]
[hardpoints-deployed]
inactive = ["off", "red"]
active = ["on", "amber"]
blocked = ["off", "off"]
alert = ["flash", "amber-flash"]
[night-vision]
inactive = ["off", "off"]
active = ["on", "green"]
blocked = ["off", "off"]
alert = ["flash", "green-flash"]The
hardpoints-deployed and night-vision sections are optional and will fall back to the values in default if missing.For each state you specify the light mode for boolean and red/amber/green lights. For boolean lights, the supported modes are:
offonflash
offredambergreenred-flashred-amber-flashred-green-flashamber-flashamber-green-flashamber-red-flashgreen-flashgreen-amber-flashgreen-red-flash
edxlc.exe C:\Path\To\My\config.tomlBy default the app reads the game control bindings from the
Custom.4.0.binds bindings file used by Odyssey. You can use a different bindings file (e.g. Custom.3.0.binds for Horizons) by specifying the full path to the file in the bindings value in the [files] section of config.toml, e.g.
Code:
[files]
bindings = 'C:\Users\DavidB\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings\Custom.3.0.binds'Important: Due to the way the TOML file format works, you should use single quote characters around the path (as shown above).

You also have to install the X52Pro drivers in the default install location; the joystick works without drivers but this tool needs a library that comes with the specific drivers in order to work. I should probably add a link that to the description in the README.
