Disabling Stream Deck in DCSFP

DCSFP and Stream Deck official software

If you have multiple Stream Deck enabled applications open at once they will fight for control of the button displays and all of the Stream Deck enabled applications will respond to button presses at the same time.

This results in multiple actions taking place for a single button press depending on what is configured on that button in each application.

To avoid this make sure only one Stream Deck enabled app is running at once. This is likely to just be DCSFP and the Stream Deck's official software but will also count for other 3rd party applications that have implemented Steam Deck support.

If you want to run DCSFP but have another app manage your Stream Deck(s) see below.

Note that it is not possible to manage multiple individual Stream Decks on one computer with different applications. They all must talk to the same application.

How to turn off Stream Deck support in DCSFP

Some users want to use the official or other 3rd party Stream Deck software. To have DCSFP not load the any Stream Deck(s) add the parameter -NoStreamDeck to the start command.

e.g. C:\apps\dcsflightpanels\dcsfp.exe -NoStreamDeck
