Kayos Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 is there a switch we can use to start DCS with VR off? I'd like to create 2 shortcuts on my taskbar. 1 to start normally with VR 1 to start with VR disabled. I prefer using the mission editor on my monitor but it's a pain to start in VR to uncheck one box. I'm thinking there must be a switch I can add?

NeilWillis Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 You could also just use the GUI updater. It now has buttons to launch DCS World in VR or not. It's simple, and effective, and won't be undone every time an update comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fargo007 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's working fine for me in DCS 2. The path to the exe is quoted, e.g.: "D:\DCS 2 OpenAlpha\DCS.exe" --force_disable_VR Have fun.

Yeah, you have to be careful about the directory tree. There are three or four versions of DCS running around if you participate in alpha, beta, and GA trains. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream21 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 dcs.exe --force_enable_VR dcs.exe --force_disable_VR Would it not make sense to leave the standard shortcut, as is, so that you get updates when you start normally for VR, and have the second shortcut as force_disable for creating missions etc?

hansangb Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Your choice. You can always kick off the upgrade manually. But I created two icons - w/o VR and the factory default one for the same reason you cited. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It does work rather nicely. Things I like about this utility 1) You can set the mic/headset to Rift when you launch 2) You can set one branch as the master, and whatever input you change gets propagated to other branches. I used to manually set symbolic links, but this is easier. Although we only have two to maintain soon. 3) This one is big. You can create alternate configs (c:\users\name..\Saved Games) and switch them around. So perfect if you want to have one for your monitor and one for VR, one for testing etc. And it does the VR, no VR thing. But it does connect to numpy.org when you fire this up. So I have a question into the author to confirm he used numpy. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon200 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Thank you Gurby! That one worked for me. A snap to set up and run. It created the routing icons and turns headset speakers on for the sim and off when I exit reverting back to desktop speakers.
