Hillman Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Hi, Is there a way to avoid having DCS doing a automatic restart after changing graphic options? I’m aware a restart is needed for certain options to take effect, but I need to start DCS with certain parameters because of VR . It’s anoying and time consuming to having it restart by itself as I then need to shut it down again before starting it again the proper way.

If you want to regularly start VR with different settings you could save two copies of options.lua in Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config and have a little batch file to copy them before you start DCS. Use copy with the /y switch to so it overwrites without prompting. Modify options for VR and copy the options.lua to vroptions.lua, and do the same for monitor and copy to monoptions.lua. Then in the Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config create two batch files : 1/ vroptions.bat copy vroptions.lua options.lua /y 2/ monoptions.bat copy monoptions.lua options.lua /y AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.

Hillman Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion, but my problem is when I'm testing various settings for VR (not switching between VR and mono) Let's say I want to change the Pixel Density for example. DCS then restarts by itself and starts without the commandline params that I need. Not sure how what you suggest would help here... Would be great if I could decide myself when to restart the sim. Or if there was a way to specify default startup params like some other sim/games have. I'm often also starting DCS through Virtual Desktop (right-click and select "Launch game") so default params would not help for that anyway... Hopefully I will soon find the nirvana settings and everything will be stable and nice with no more changes!?? Probably not...

draconus Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I totally get it. It works the same if you for example install/remove a module from Module Manager - game restarts but starts again in default mode forgetting all starting parameters. So ex. you start in VR and then end up in monitor mode. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
