ViLA (Virpil LED Automator) is an extensible tool for configuring your Virpil usb device's LEDs to react to certain events. It can be extended via plugins written by anybody, which can do things like tail log files, pair with DCS-BIOS, and more. These plugins send messages to ViLA, which are parsed according to its configuration file.

Check out the wiki for a getting started guide!

• DCS Bios Reader

Just double-click ViLA.exe to start ViLA. It's important to note that ViLA isn't very useful without plugins, so find some good ones!

ViLA has a long way to go.

No. It's very important to understand this. You and you alone are responsible for whatever happens to your computer as a result of extensions you install. Any code at all can be written in an extension. The developers of ViLA will not be held responsible for malicious plugins. When in doubt, DO NOT INSTALL a plugin.

Not at this time. Maybe at some point in the future though!

Not directly, no. You can get creative with the plugin and the Ids in your config.json file, but generally speaking this is not officially supported at this time. Again, maybe at some point in the future!

If making package changes (highly discouraged) it is important to regenerate the plugin_manifest.xml file. This can be done with the following command: dotnet store -m ViLA.csproj --runtime win-x64 -f net5.0

This command will output %userprofile%/.dotnet/store/x64/net5.0/artifact.xml, among other things. Make sure to replace the current plugin_manifest.xml file with this one.
