Just received my order. It doesn't get any easier to install and works like a champ. Thank You

Not triggered in any way or form. I was clear and very concise in what I wrote. I was having issues getting the application installed and configured for use. After spending a great deal of time watching the tutorial online, reading the documentation from a half dozen different areas, all of which is incorrect I turned to the forum. In the very first part of my post I expressed my frustration at the failure of the documentation. What I've stated is factual, the documentation is terrible. It's that simple. I didn't write it in all capitals, I didn't write any derogatory, insulting comment like this sucks or you suck. Take it for what it is and nothing more or less.

I did spend a great deal of time on the interweb and even watched the tutorials on youtube for dummies posted by FlightControl that are now two years old. However, they don't work for the install. I went online to the libraries and spent even more time reading the documentation that was up to two years old on the configuration of Moose. While I did take note of the 33 videos you posted and marked them for follow on after learning moose and lua, they do not address getting the application framework setup and working. There is was nothing about my question that was impolite, maybe very forward and on point for a person that spent a consiterable amount of time trying to get it setup, but not impolite. Your answer is lazy and typical these days.

Nice job expanding the community. Given your response, and the following posted on the discord thread I would expect this project is about dead. NOTE: Currently it is advisable to use the development branch build of moose.lua due to the dev team not being able to create a proper release in a long while

Super frustrated at this point. How do we get moose installed? The documentation is terrible! Install Eclipse LDT on your Windows 64 bit system. This is a free lua editor based on the Eclipse ecosystem. The advantage of LDT is that it greatly enhances your lua development environment with intellisense, better search capabilities etc. You may have to install java first. Ensure you install the 64-bit versions of both Eclipse LDT and java! Install GITHUB desktop. We use GITHUB desktop to sync the moose repository to your system. Link the MOOSE repository on GITHUB to your freshly installed GITHUB desktop. Do this by browing to the MOOSE repository at GITHUB, and select the green button Clone or Download -> Open in Desktop. Specify a local directory on your PC where you want to store the MOOSE repository contents. Sync the MOOSE repository to a defined local MOOSE directory on your PC using GITHUB desktop (press the sync button). On your local MOOOSE directory, execute the batch file DCS_Folder_Sync.bat. This will sync the dcs folder in the MOOSE repository from the submodule DCS API. As a result, you have installed the MOOSE repository on your PC, and it is fully synced. DCS_Folder_Sync.bat is not in the Moose Directory.
