FFI bindings for SimConnect.
## Release Support
Currently supported version of `simconnect-sys` is using SimConnect SDK `0.24.3`.
Crate will be updated for each new SimConnect SDK release with the version indicating the SDK version it targets.
## Usage
```toml
[dependencies]
simconnect-sys = { version = "0.24.3", features = [ "static" ] }
```
### Getting Started
```rust
use simconnect_sys::*;
// open handle to SimConnect
let mut handle = std::ptr::null_mut();
let hr = unsafe { SimConnect_Open(
&mut handle,
CString::new("Example").as_ptr(),
std::ptr::null_mut(),
0,
std::ptr::null_mut(),
0,
) };
}
```
See [examples/sys-basic](https://github.com/jcramb/simconnect-rs/blob/main/examples/sys-basic/src/main.rs) for a working example of using the FFI bindings for SimConnect.
### Features
* `static` - Statically link to SimConnect lib.
* `vendored` - Use vendored SimConnect lib.
### Environment Variables
* `SIMCONNECT_DIR` (default=`C:\MSFS SDK\SimConnect SDK`)
* Directory containing these files from the MSFS SimConnect SDK:
```
.
├── include/
│ └── SimConnect.h
└── lib/
├── SimConnect.lib
└── static/
└── SimConnect.lib
```
* `SIMCONNECT_NO_VENDOR`
* Provides an override of the `vendored` feature, ensuring vendored libs are not used.
