Magenta Bridge: reconstructing Octavi IFR-1 HID control for MSFS 2024

Magenta Bridge implements direct HID communication with the Octavi IFR-1 flight-simulator panel in a Windows client for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Its source handles panel input and SimConnect mappings for radios, autopilot and transponder controls; the author says the HID protocol was recovered through observation.

Requirements & limits

Prerequisites: Windows 11, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and an Octavi IFR-1 panel are required; building from source requires the .NET 8 SDK.
Testing evidence: The author reports live testing with MSFS 2024 and a physical IFR-1.
Limits: GNS530/430 knobs and five softkeys require in-simulator code beyond the client's scope; the launch mode is unknown until a control is touched.
