mute OpenSoar vario sound ( Config -> System -> Gauges -> Audio Vario -> ”Off”) via .xci event file

[robe191]

I am using an OpenVario with a stick remote control, xcvario and larus vario. The larus vario & OpenSoar are used to generate vario sound, while I would like to use the xcvario (my backup vario) to generate speed to fly sound, since that is not available in OpenVario/OpenSoar.

The following bit of an event file should switch the OV by the remote control key S -> s2f to key V -> vario and vice versa. When the xcvario is connected to NMEA Port 1 or 2 it should be able to understand the vario and s2f command, as it is implemented in the xcvario driver.

mode=default
type=key
data=S
event=SendNMEAPort2 g,s1
event=SendNMEAPort1 g,s1
event=StatusMessage Speed2fly

mode=default
type=key
data=V
event=SendNMEAPort2 g,s0
event=SendNMEAPort1 g,s0
event=StatusMessage Vario

The xcvario sound can be muted in Vario mode and set to a pleasant volume in speed to fly mode. The larus vario would need to be muted in speed to fly mode in the OpenVario/Xcsoar Config -> System -> Gauges -> Audio Vario -> ”Off” or alternatively System -> Gauges -> Audio Vario -> Volume 0%. One of the two alternatives would be good to have in the event file.
