Command Line Param to Launch DCS with different graphic configurationss?

[TWC_Alamo]

Has anyone found a way to have two sets of graphic configurations and be able to start DCS with a command line parameter specifying which configuration setting to use?

 

One configuration would be optimized for use with a monitor and Track IR, while the second would be optimized for VR. I am aware of the --FORCE ENABLE VR/--FORCE DISABLE VR command line parameter, but that seems to only enable/disable VR and doesn't change graphic quality settings. Is there a command line parameter to specify an alternate graphic configuration?

 

I had considered doing second installations of DCS1.5/DCS2.1, which are optimized for VR, but that takes up precious amounts of M.2 NVMe space. It would be better to be able to switch graphic configuration files before or at startup.

There isn't one.

I mean, super complex and silly but copy your savedgames/dcs/config/config.lua to config_vr.lua then start dcs setup things for non-vr copy the same file to config_nonvr.lua

 

Then write a batch file that copies the specific version (vr,nonvr) over top of config.lua then starts dcs.

Yes, you can use JSGME or OvGME to switch between different config.lua effortlessly.

I do the same but with a batch file thus it does it automatically for me :)

Thanks for the batch file suggestion. I'll had thought of doing that, but like you noted kinda clunky, but I'll give that a try.

BaD CrC: That is an interesting possibility.

 

Life would be so much simpler if DCS would incorporate a command line parameter to specify the graphic config.

 

I wonder if Skatezilla could incorporate the graphic configuration file swap in his DCS Configuration Update Utility in the start in VR function?
