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.

It's obviously not finding the DCS Install, hence the red square.

RED Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the app. Very useful with VR and going back to older versions!
Double Dutch Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Maybe a stupid question, but I just found this installer. Where can I find the latest version? ----- Don't practise till you got it right. Practise till you don't do it wrong

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 Can the utility minimise to the system tray? I would prefer it this way cause when I start DCS, I would have to swap to the Oculus app to enable fix the frame rate without ASW. I Fly, Therefore I Am.

Unfortunately, on Alt+Tab, the application still has a "handle" on the task bar. If an application is "minimised to system tray", there would be no icon/handle on the task bar. So I guess the answer to my original question is "no". It is kinda strange that Update Utility also has an icon in system tray at the same time. I Fly, Therefore I Am.

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.

It's was integrated a while back, but removed as it was thought to be causing hidden window problems, which was found out to be a different issue altogether, so I will be re-enabling the system tray option in the system tray menu, it will show as "Hide App in Taskbar when Minimized", and will remove the app from ALT+TAB Windows as well. 1 Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs

PatrickJames Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Hi I just updated DCS to 2.7.1.64 and DCS won't launch - neither from the Skatezilla App nor from direct. Application gets to first stage of opening dcs then just closes. Any suggestion how to fix?
speed-of-heat Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 so with DCS the first load can take a very long time, dependent on memory, processor and disk .. are you sure its not just taking a very long time? i would try a dcs repair from skates app SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
