As for presets, once a preset is selected, launch DCS, Configure, exit. select another preset configure, exit, repeat as needed. Thank you for this powerful tool! It's really a great help, especially for those working with VR! As for the presets, the don't work for me. I tried it with the launch button and also with the VR ON / VR OFF button. But it will always load the last settings i aplied in DCS. The log file also states (when i start DCS) that i am using the "default preset" although i selected a different one.

Thanks for having a look. Here's the log file. I opend DCS with preset 1, then closed DCS. Then i opened it again with preset 3, made some changes and closed it again. And finally, i opened DCS with preset 1 again to see if the changes are effective but i had no joy. It opened DCS with the same settings as per preset 3.
