Instructions for installing Steam DCS 

   Download Crossover Preview > Install Steam Application into new Windows 10, 64-bit bottle
   Run Steam and install DCS World from Steam
   Once installed, close Steam and override winhttp.dll (native, builtin), wbemprox.dll (native) & msdmo.dll (native) in Wine Configuration.
   Install d3dcompiler_47(32-bit) and d3dcompiler_47(64-bit)
   Place options.lua file in the CONFIG_DIR to skip the broken launcher: https://github.com/deleterium/dcs_on_linux?tab=readme-ov-file. If the CONFIG_DIR does not exist, create the directory. i.e. "drive_c/users/$USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/Config/options.lua"

   Next we need to override the input audio device load ( getVoiceChatDevices() ) .lua in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/DCS/drive_c/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/MissionEditor/modules/Options/optionsDb.lua to always return an empty string as the mod_sound.getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type) now returns nil and causes an error to occur

   local function getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type)
         --local devices = mod_sound.getVoiceChatDevices(dev_type)       
           local result = {Name(_('Default')):Value("")}

       if devices then
           for k,v in ipairs(devices) do
               table.insert(result,Name(v[2]):Value(v[1]))
           end
       end

       return result
   end 

   Please Note: If you repair the game, this file will revert to it's broken state and you'll need to fix it again.

   Enable D3dMetal Graphics, set Synchronization to Msync, restart bottle
Open Steam and launch DCS from Steam
Wine Unknown
Virtualization
Parallels Menu Boots. Main menu is fine. However, actual gameplay is riddled with graphical issues. AWACS View (F10) works just fine. FPS surges up and down, causing extremely unstable performance.
