Recommended editor is VS Code

Opening DCS-BIOS in VS Code

Always open the root folder in the DCS-BIOS repository. This way all the settings files for VS Code are loaded.

DCS Scripts folder

Make a symbolic link in your DCS Scripts folder pointing to your git repo. This makes it easy to develop and then handle git operations from the repo location.

Assuming your DCS-BIOS repo is under C:\coding\GitHub\dcs-bios\ the command would be:

mklink /d "C:\Users\<your username>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\DCS-BIOS" "C:\coding\GitHub\dcs-bios\Scripts\DCS-BIOS"

Extensions

When you open the DCS-BIOS root repo folder VS Code will suggest recommended extensions. Install these.

vs_code_extension_recommendations

This is recommended.
