Thanks for looking into it. My presets are 01 for desktop, 02 for SP, 03 for MP.

This is from my laptop setup where I noticed the problem.

New version is looking incredible. Since the day I first downloaded this utility it has been the only way I launch DCS. Can't wait to checking out the new version when released.

I am brand new to exploring this utility.  I'm struggling through the forum and posts to find details.  For what I'm trying to accomplish, I think the presets and config files are what I'd be looking for, but am not clear exactly what "manage config folder" does, or how to create/adjust presets.  I'm trying to accomplish...

1. After DCS update, copy edited default.lua in to the F/A-18C joystick folder or add 4 lines of code (to enable fuel dump and pitot heater for WinWing startup panel)

And, launch DCS in 1 of 3 configurations...

1. Non-VR, non-Tobii eyetracker ("turn off" headtracker.dll in main bin folder, set displays.lua to file created from Winwing Simapp Pro for MFD's)

2. Non-VR, +Tobii (restore headtracker.dll in main bin file, set displays.lua to single screen)

3. VR (disable headtracker.dll, enable VR settings)

Does anyone have any advice if DCS Update GUI Utility 1) can help with this, 2) what functions to use, and/or 3) help point me to documentation?

This version of the Updater only fully works with DCS single thread.  Wait for the new Updater Gui Utility that is coming in the next few weeks.

Sorry if this has already been addressed, I didn't read through the entire thread.

My Presets are always greyed out now.  Is anyone else seeing this as well?

Right now, I'm pushing for June-ish.

Was trying to get it out in May, but a few things require additional cleansing and tweaking.

I am travelling for work right now, so available time to code is minimal.

I have used your updater for I don't know how long and it always works flawlessly. Just wanted to say TY for providing this utility. Not sure I will upgrade as I am happy with the current version. Lol, old guy logic at work here. Anyway, Thank you Sir.

@SkateZilla curious if the new version ( or current for that matter) will have a way to limit fps as an option.(Not sure if that’s even possible straight through dcs or not)  In vr I like to have it uncapped in nvidia control  so I can get 90 fps, but in 2d I cap it at 60 so my exported gauges using Helios move nice a smooth. Love the current utility, looking forward to the next!

You can add it via autoexec.cfg: (which is supported in the new version).
options.graphics.maxfps =xx
