TrailerAssist is a small tool to make reversing with a trailer easier. You activate it with the following keys:

F11: Navigation with compass; TrailerAssist attempts to move the trailer in the indicated direction
F12: Navigation angle between tractor and trailer; TrailerAssist tries reach the displayed angle between tractor and trailer
A: Turn left
D: Turn right
Ctrl T: Activate TrailerAssist on permanently.

You can see that TrailerAssist is activated when grade numbers with yellow font appear at the top of the screen. Although TrailerAssist is permanently switched on, it will only be active when driving backwards.

This little script is still in its beginning. So there is no pretty user interface and it also does not work with all trailers. Just try it out and bring suggestions for improvement.

The developer version is in GitHub: https://github.com/Mogli12/TrailerAssist
