Please hold on creating the folder manually, because you will have to manually delete it once you install the proper version .

I am preparing a forum post for a package version. In the mean time, you can download the release at:

And follow the instruction at:

## User Guide for Flight Tracker Stream Deck Plugin

### Installation

1. Download latest version from https://github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Tracker-StreamDeck/releases
1. Double click the file `tech.flighttracker.streamdeck.streamDeckPlugin` to install
   - If you manually created the folder `tech.flighttracker.streamdeck.sdPlugin` previously in `%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins`, there will be an error saying "This custom action is already installed." although you won't see it in More Actions list. In this case you will need to manually remove that folder before trying again.
1. Accept the prompt to install the plugin and the profiles. The profile is a special numpad, allowing you to enter COM/NAV frequency.
1. You should now see Flight Tracker group in your list of buttons.

### Usage

#### Notes

At the moment, there are 2 groups of buttons:

| Group | Pro | Con |
|-------|-----|-----|
| **Generic** | Potentially work with any SimConnect variables of the correct type | Need to look up the variable's and event's name |
| **Preset** | Specifically designed for certain variables, so setting up is just drag-and-drop and select its function<br />Has special functionality such as holding COM/NAV button to open numpad | Require development effort to add more buttons with similar functionality |
