Installation

Requirements

• DCS World
• DCS-BIOS v0.11.4 or later (2026-06-25 Nightly build or later recommended)
• .NET 8.0 runtime

At least one of these devices:

• Winctrl CDU hardware (MCDU / PFP3N / PFP7 / PFP4)
• Winctrl FCU and EFIS (tested with Left EFIS)
• Winctrl PAP3 (or PAP3Mag)
• Winctrl AGP32 Metal

DCS-BIOS Setup

1. Download the latest DCS-BIOS release (nightly build recommended as it updates ch47f cdu pages, and fixes some bugs for the f14, uh1h ):

   • https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios/releases

2. Extract the DCS-BIOS folder to your DCS saved games Scripts directory:

   %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\DCS-BIOS\
   

   If you've relocated your Saved Games folder (right-click it > Properties > Location), extract there instead — the app finds it automatically either way.

3. Configure Export.lua in your Scripts folder:

   dofile(lfs.writedir() .. [[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

   ⚠️ If you already have an Export.lua file, add the line above instead of overwriting it.

Application Setup

1. Download from the releases page and extract to your preferred folder

the app is the .zip file you can find under the Assets of the release.

2. You can now plug/ unplug you devices while the app is started
3. Run WctrlDcsBiosBridge.exe You should see a windows trust warning ( if you don't accpet the app won't launch ) On first launch, the app looks for DCS-BIOS under your real Saved Games folder — even if you've relocated it to another drive — and fills in the JSON path automatically. In that case you won't see a Configuration pop-up at all.
4. If it can't find it automatically, the Configuration pop-up opens so you can select the DCS-BIOS JSON folder manually — typically at:

   Saved Games/DCS/Scripts/DCS-BIOS/doc/json
   

once done, click Save

Use the configuration tab to tune it to you needs.

• choose a theme using the icon [ dark / Light / System / Dcs ]
• decide whether you want auto-start, auto-minimize etc..
• choose specific Aircraft options
