how to make custom toolbar panel?

Hello guys, where can i find information of how to make custom toolbar panel?

I am checking here https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/index.htm but i can't find anything, my idea is create a panel that connects to an external website

Also i wasn´t able to find any documentation about the JS apis, probably related with this, Add JS/HTML documentation to the SDK - MSFS DevSupport (flightsimulator.com)

You are right. Documentation on that is currently lacking.

There is a good resource on github about how to get your own toolbar going. https://github.com/bymaximus/msfs2020-toolbar-window-template

That example appeared to have a fair amount of "dead" code. In case it helps someone else, here is a variation that is stripped down even further:

They do still compile!

I just used sdk version 9.0.0, because I still had the .msi


I used it ro make this ILS panel addon:

It seems that both these repositories no longer compile :-(

I think something has changed in the most recent updates.

This is the software that MSFS uses for the UI. The documentation may be helpful since we don't have MSFS documentation yet.
