zzzHACKSAWzzz Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Similar to Falcon BMS, how about implementing flatscreen for menus, mission editor, multiplayer server list etc and switch only to VR when launching the mission? There’s no need for the things mentioned to be in VR and personally I find it annoying trying to setup for a mission with friends in VR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuRugal Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 would be nice to have an option to easily toggle between flat and VR rendering from the main menu and mission editor. I currently use a separate shortcut with the --force_disable_VR flag for doing serious mission editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lace Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The civvy sim allows instant and seamless switching between VR and flat. This would be a huge QoL improvement for DCS. There are no benefits from running the menus and ME in VR, and I wish they would swap the low-poly Su-27 & hangar for a model which matches the chosen wallpaper theme too, but that's another issue. 2 Laptop Pilot.

ignition22 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Not for me, if they made this change it should be optional. Don't want to be taking headset on and off and on and off and screen is not in a convenient place for frequent use in relation to built out sim cockpit. Having a 2d / 3d mix is VR done poorly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when you do enter the mission, everything is in normal VR. But, having the possibility to use mission planner, mission editor, reading the briefing and so on, in 2d would be optimal for many of us Edited December 20, 2023 by VirusAM 2 R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 Valve Index VPForce Rhino FFB, Virpil F-14 (VFX) Grip, Virpil Alpha Grip, Virpil CM3 Throttle + Control Panel 2, Winwing Orion (Skywalker) Pedals, Razer Tartarus V2 SpeedMaster Flight Seat, JetSeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
