Installation

There are two ways of install DCSpy: windows setup (basic / new way) or via uv tool (advanced / old way). Both have advantages and disadvantages. For new users it is recommended to use first one, current users can stick to old way or switch to new way. Both will be supported.

Windows setup installer (basic way)

  • Advantage: Simple download and you are ready to go

  • Disadvantage: Windows Defender can block download/execution

  • Install Logitech Gaming Software 9.04.49

  • Go to Releases, from Assets section download one of:
  • dcspy_*_setup.exe
  • Double click and install
  • DCS-BIOS
  • Install DCS-BIOS directly from DCSpy (button Check DCS-BIOS, see DCS-BIOS Upgrade). It checks if new version exists, download, and unpack DCS-BIOS to Save Games folder and check Export.lua file.
  • Or follow manual installation DCS-BIOS wiki page

Due to how Python application can be pack into executable file (using Nuitka), sometimes Windows Defender can recognize it as a virus. See more details here
