Guide: How to install DCS World on Linux

[Dagger98]

After seeing [TASF]Overkill's thread on running DCS on Linux, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229253

I thought it would be a fun summer project to get DCS up and running myself. It worked surprisingly well!

 

My setup is

 

* Ubuntu 19.04

* TrackIR Pro 4

* HOTAS Warthog

* Saitek rudders

 

I documented the steps in the attached guide (markdown format), even how to control the backlight LED on the throttle :)

 

If you spot any errors or learn anything new that could be valuable to the guide, please share with others in this thread.

 

 

Have a nice weekend!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience :)

 

.. I actually have no interest on Linux at the moment, but if Microsoft keeps degrading (rather than improving) Windows I might actually need to switch ... fortunately, Linux gaming seems to be improving lately:
