How to execute macros

If you launch the simulator from the Windows / Linux console, and press [space], you will record a macro: all the keys / touch events are recorded. When pressing [space] again, this macro will be stored on your computer and you will be able to replay it later.

Example1: executes simulator with FR radio settings in read only mode (it won't overwrite the settings and models), and runs the wizard.lua macro

cd ethos-manual\french\forge
'C:\Program Files (x86)\FrSky\Ethos\X20S\simulator.exe' --radio-settings .\x20s-fr.bin --read-only --exec .\macros\mainview.lua
