Tips and Tricks

1. Hiding Modules in the Main Menu

DCS Module ausblenden, Bild von kaltokri, Gemeinfrei

I would like to see in the bottom bar in the main menu only modules that I have bought, or that interest me.
Especially the single Flaming Cliffs 3 planes bothered me because I would never buy them since I already have FC3.

In the DCS forum (see source below) I found the instructions below. It works and I want to share it with you.

  • Go to the folder <username>\Saved Games\DCS[.BETA]/config/ or C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.BETA\Config
  • Create a new text file there with the following name pluginsEnabled.lua, if it doesn't exist already.
  • Open it with a text editor (notepad++ is best).
  • Paste the text below.
  • Change the setting behind the equal signs (true is shown / false is hidden).
  • If a new module comes out you can add a new line.
    • You can find the module name in the file <DCS-Installation>/DemoMods/aircraft/<module name>/entry.lua
pluginsEnabled =
