The latest build of the development branch can be found here. That page shows the build for every change that goes into our development branch. Builds at the top of the page are newer. If you click on them and are logged in to GitHub, you can download the release from the "Artifacts" section of the page.

**This is a development branch. Occasionally, there are broken things. But it's still better to use a current build that supports the latest version of DCS than an old build that does not support the current DCS version.

Save games almost always work across builds (we strive for compatibility), but you should back up any save games you definitely don't want to lose before loading them with a development build, just in case.**

Downloading an alpha or beta build

1. Make sure you are signed in to Github. Github does not allow downloading of preview builds without an account.
2. The beta builds are typically stable but will lack some of the latest features and bug fixes.
3. Alpha builds are a bit more cutting edge, and do occasionally contain uncaught bugs. But generally, they are fine for use.
4. If you wish to use the latest alpha build, the easiest way is to click on the latest link in the #alphas channel on our Discord
5. Similarly, if you prefer to use the beta build, the easiest way is to click on the latest link in the #betas channel on our Discord
6. If you are after the latest alpha build, click on the latest link in the #alphas channel on our discord.
7. The download link is at the bottom of the page after you click on a build. Look for the section titled "Artifacts".
8. If the zip file you have downloaded does not contain an executable, you have likely downloaded the source code instead of the compiled build.
9. Do not overwrite one build with another. Delete the old build's files first.

Downloading a preview build of a specific Pull Request

Note: You should only follow the instructions below if you are looking to download the preview build from a SPECIFIC pull request that has not been merged into the main dev branch (e.g. if we have suggested on the Discord that you do so for testing purposes), not if you're just looking for the latest alpha or beta build. It is likely that you will encounter problems if you download a random unmerged pull request. For most folks, this is not something you would need to do. See the section above for alpha/beta build instructions.

Click on the Pull Request you are interested in, then click on "Checks" Scroll down to the bottom of the page to download the artifact with the PR changes incorporated. You need to be logged in to Github to see it.
