This is a web-based program to find direct routes for flight simulators that match specified filters. It can be useful when you are not sure where you want to fly from and/or to.

The frontend is made with Svelte and the backend with Rust and Rocket.

Note that these instructions are intended for Linux / OSX users. Windows users may need to adjust the commands a bit.

This project requires the following dependencies:

• A recent stable version of Rust
• A recent version of npm
• pkg-config

The following sections describe how to build each part of the project. Either step can be done first.

Open a terminal in the project directory and run cargo build --release. Once complete, you will be able to run the program from within the target/release/ folder.

From within the project directory, navigate to the frontend folder and run the following commands:

1. npm install
2. npm run build

First, launch executable named srfinder in the target/release/ folder to start the web server, and navigate to localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Navigation within the site should be fairly straightfoward. You can hover over most filters to find out more about which each one does, and can change the site theme / which units to use by clicking the cog icon in the bottom right corner.

All airport data comes from OurAirports.
