CRemote control actions

Every action that can be bound to a remote control button, and where each one is worth using.

The full list#

These are the actions offered when you assign a button in Remote controls. The same set is available as control tiles on a layout.

Action	Group	Notes
Zoom in	Map	Zooms the flight map in one step. Assign it to repeat so holding the button zooms continuously.
Zoom out	Map	Zooms the flight map out one step. Also worth assigning to repeat.
Auto zoom toggle	Map	Turns automatic zoom on and off without opening settings.
Map pan up	Map	Pans the map north.
Map pan down	Map	Pans the map south.
Map pan left	Map	Pans the map west.
Map pan right	Map	Pans the map east.
Switch layout	Screen	Moves to the next layout page for the current orientation.
Next turnpoint	Navigation	Moves the task focus forward one turnpoint.
Previous turnpoint	Navigation	Moves the task focus back one turnpoint.
Take photo	Capture	Takes a photo without leaving the flight screen.
Level 1 message	Live	Sends the L1 level message. Only during task recording with live tracking on.
Level 2 message	Live	Sends the L2 level message.
Level 3 message	Live	Sends the L3 level message.

Gestures per button#

With an AeroRemote, each physical button can carry three different actions.

Gesture	How to trigger it	Best for
Short press	Tap the button.	The action you use most on that button.
Long press	Hold the button.	A second action you use less often, or one you want to be deliberate about.
Repeat	Keep holding until repeat starts.	Zoom and pan, where one step per press is far too slow.

Note

In HID keyboard mode each button simply sends a key, so you get one action per key rather than three per button.

Tip

A workable starting set: zoom in and zoom out on repeat, switch layout on short press, next turnpoint on long press. Add level messages only if your event uses them.
