VS Code setup - DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios GitHub Wiki
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.
Install lua interpreter
This is recommended.
