WelshZeCorgi Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 VR is good, but if I want to make or edit missions or test new setup/keybinds, and I want to do it on flatscreen for comfort or ease, I have to go into VR, unselect VR in settings and then restart it, and then go into settings again later on and restart DCS in VR. Can we just get 2 different exe? one that boots DCS in VR and one that boots in flatscreen?

Munkwolf Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 You can use --force_disable_VR as a launch flag for the exe. I set it up as a separate shortcut with different icon. F:\DCS\bin\DCS.exe --force_disable_VR 1

I set it up as a separate shortcut with different icon. F:\DCS\bin\DCS.exe --force_disable_VR I do exactly the same. Works perfectly. Have fun. Don't suck.

MAXsenna Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 You can try this https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319775/Or Skatezillas launcher I cannot praise and recommend Skatezilla's updater/launcher enough.Has a ton of other nifty features as well!

So maybe the Config directory is unique, but the Input subdirectory is linked; the shader directories are specific, but things like missions and scripts and liveries are linked. It requires a fair amount of command line work, but it lets you be very precise in what you want your setups to do (and not do) differently. But as others have suggested, the launcher is probably the most handy way of doing a lot of these things. Edited December 17, 2021 by Tippis 2 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

I share a lot of Saved Games folders between stable and OB. And it works really well. So nice idea. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1

This is no doubt the best way. Only one icon on your desktop for everything, various presets directly set without the need for a restart of the game, side loads other stuff when needed etc... just top notch !! 2 Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!
Bailey Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Lots of good solutions here. I tend to gravitate to the “least clicks” option, which is why I made DCS Shortcut Generator to have an exe on my desktop or toolbar for each unique flavor of DCS I want to use at the time. Otherwise, the good ole force_disable_vr is the simplest and most effective solution that solves the issue.
