STe79ITA Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 It is only me who find using the menu, the mission planner ecc in VR a realy bad experience? Cant we use the monitor for those tasks and then switch to VR once the mission is launched?
Lange_666 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I'm afraid not. A mode switch as in MSFS would be so cool...

Lace Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I can live with the menu, but it would be nice to be able to launch the Mission Editor as a separate non-VR executable. That said, it's not exactly a huge job to unplug the headset when I want to mission build. What I really want is a standalone Mission Editor I can run at work when away from my DCS PC, but that is a whole other story... 1 Laptop Pilot.

Bailey Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Unplugging my VR is a HUGE problem for me. I have to get on my hands and knees to crawl behind my rig to get to the connection. It is a major reason why I made DReLa. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312032/ A 2D popup that is separate from VR would be awesome.

Dangerzone Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Not discounting the idea - sounds like it would be handy, but for those who don't want to disconnect your VR from the PC to launch 2D, just create a second icon on your desktop to launch that has a parameter after launch: "D:\games\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" --force_disable_VR That's what I use when I want to go into the M.E. or play 2D for a while without repeatedly plugging in/unplugging headset. 1 1
Ziptie Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 How about you simply go to options from the main menu - go to the VR tab and uncheck VR. Then hit OK. Do your stuff in the mission editor, then go back to the options menu, VR tab and check VR. Hit ok. Reboots in VR. Or am I missing something?

As a workaround, just use two shortcuts with "--force_disable_VR" and "--force_enable_VR" or use Skazilla's tool.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Or just make a seperate shortcut and use that when you're planning on making/editing a mission: "X:\...\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" --force_disable_VR Spoiler Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 96GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo DDR5-6000 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 990Pro 4TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero VPC MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | VPC CM3 throttle | VPC CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | VPC R1-Falcon pedals with damper | Pro Flight Trainer Puma OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Win11 Pro 24H2 - VBS/HAGS/Game Mode ON
Dunx Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Agreed, mission editing in VR is (was) a challenge, especially with my overzealous "edit-test-repeat" workflow. For this reason, I installed DCS on a second "sub-capable" machine just for the mission editor. DCS does not keep mission files open (locked) and so can be concurrently edited on one machine while flown on another. I use Mouse Without Borders to control both machines with one keyboard/mouse, and MLINK to accces the mission folder from my VR machine. 1 ROG Z690 Hero ● i9-12900K 5.5GHz ● Giggy RTX 3090 OC ● 32GB 4800MHz ● Firecuda M.2s ● Reverb G2 ● Win11Pro //// A10CII ● AH64D ● AJS37 ● AV8BNA ● C101 ● CEII ● F16C ● F5EII ● F86F ● FA18C ● FC3 ● I16 ● KA50 ● M2000C ● MI8 ● P47D ● SA342 ● SPIT ● UH1H ● Y52
Specter Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 If you want to alternately switch between VR and Non-VR use Skatezilla's utility. It won't however switch between the 2 with DCS running. 2 i7-10700K @ 5Ghz | Asus Z490 Tuf Pro Gaming | RTX 3090 | 64 Gb RAM @3.6Ghz | 1TB Samsung 970 EVO+ SSD | 1TB addlink S70 M.2 SSD | 1TB Samsung 850 EVO | 4TB HDD | Reverb G2 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedals | Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs

Maybe it's my 3 year old PC but it takes just as long to start MSFS once (from its asobo logo animation, to the disclaimer, to world update checks) than restart DCS 4 times. I don't dare start MSFS unless I'm really motivated for it. Edited January 24, 2021 by Taz1004 1 Better Smoke - Better Trees Caucasus - Better Trees Syria - Better Trees Mariana - Clear Canopy Glass
