✈️ msfs-rs 🦀

Use Rust to interact with Microsoft Flight Simulator

As seen in the FlyByWire A32NX and A380X!

• Write custom aircraft logic in Rust

* Systems * Gauges * Instrument panels (NanoVG) * Replace aircraft code * RPL * C++ * JavaScript * TypeScript * WASM

• Interact with the Microsoft SDK
• Create external applications that interact with MSFS using SimConnect

Example

Drawing a red rectangle on a glass instrument panel inside an aircraft cockpit:

// gauge_logic.rs
use msfs::{nvg, MSFSEvent};
#[msfs::gauge(name=Demo)] async fn demo(mut gauge: msfs::Gauge) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {     // Use NanoVG to draw     let nvg = gauge.create_nanovg().unwrap();
let black = nvg::Style::default().fill(nvg::Color::from_rgb(0, 0, 0));     let red = nvg::Style::default().fill(nvg::Color::from_rgb(255, 0, 0));
// Reacting to MSFS events     while let Some(event) = gauge.next_event().await {         match event {             MSFSEvent::PreDraw(d) => {                 nvg.draw_frame(d.width(), d.height(), |f| {                     // Red rectangle                     f.draw_path(&red, |p| {                         p.rect(20.0, 20.0, 40.0, 40.0);                         println!("Hello rusty world!");
Ok(())                     })?;
Ok(())                 });             }             _ => {}         }     }     Ok(()) }
