An easier way to switch back and forth between 2d and VR.

A quick search found nothing; surprised though, kind of thought this might be a common request... perhaps I'm missing something?

Right now, I have to completely exit and reenter DCS to switch between 2d (mission editor, primarily - not fun for big changes when in VR), and flying (VR). And it is lengthy to both stop and to restart. I don't care for the MSFS interface at all, but they do make it convenient to switch back and forth. I assume there are basic reasons why DCS can't do the same, but perhaps... some way to make it less painful?

It's been asked before several times. I doubt it will happen.

As an alternative option until ED ever decides to support fast switching, you might look into what the DCS Web Editor team is up to?  They're working on a mission editor for DCS which runs in a web browser, which would let you alt-tab and leave DCS running in VR mode.

not an ideal solution, but better than relaunching the game.

Thanks. At least I know now. And, though I'd like to look at that DCS Web Editor, so far, I've only found ways to upgrade and don't see how to obtain anything to test.
