Ability to Toggle VR/Non-VR modes

You can make a shortcut of the DCS app and put  --force_disable_VR at the end of target location in properties eg. "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" --force_disable_VR and one app will open DCS in vr and the other non vr.

 

I know its not a key command but better than loading the game in vr then unchecking vr enable then restarting.

I feel the need The need for jet engines to create thrust in order to have differential pressure on the wings which achieves aerodynamics lift at high velocity Ooww!! :pilotfly:

An expert is someone who knows each time more on each time less, until he finally knows absolutely everything about absolutely nothing.

Thanks for sharing AUS_Heracles :thumbup:

 

So far I've been using Skatezilla's DCS utility, but (for me) this is easier to use.

Just to clarify, this doesn't allow hotswaps in game though, right? I'm mostly looking to be able to land after a flight in VR, then move to the platform, and wave for the rest of the squadron on my monitor

 

No. The DCS doesn't support hot swapping. I don't actually know any game that would allow you to just play game on display and then just put HMD On and continue there (or vice versa).

Closest thing there is that you can have a game load main menu on display, and then require you to set your HMD in game. And that is annoying as you can't even get the game launched without display.

 

The beauty of the DCS is that you can be fully in VR from launch to end. Just would be nice to get the Combined Arms as well supported in VR.

Nice to hear then, as I have not seen such feature used. I have owned that game now for maybe 3-4 years and not yet had time to start it even once. LOL.

Would be nice if I could switch DCS beween the two modes using a key bind like I can in the two games mantioned above while in the game.

Since I do a lot of mission work (meaning: I work in mission editor a lot), that would also a great boon to me.

Especially since currenly, the Steam version does not allow a direct MT VR start, so requires *two* restarts for every switch. If we could switch in-game, this would immediately resolve this issue (as discussed here:
