DROPZONE: The Community Mod Manager for DCS World

DROPZONE simplifies managing mods for DCS World, pulling its curated mod list directly from the DCS Mod Manager Registry.

Mod installation is managed by DROPZONE, it will download, unpack, and symlink mods into your DCS World directories. This allows you to easily enable and disable mods without having to manually manage files.

To suggest a mod or contribute, create an issue or submit a pull request on the registry's GitHub repository.

Key Features
