Separate config files for the VR and the standard version of the game.

When the sim is launched on Steam the option to choose the VR version or standard version of the sim is presented. It seems that the only affect this has is enabling or disabling the "Enable VR HMD" option in the graphics settings menu. 

 

It would be appreciated if this option would allow users to maintain two entirely different settings profiles for each mode.

Agreed, this would be an excellent feature. I do all of my "real" flying in VR but occasionally open the game in flatscreen to take screenshots or mess around with Mouse controls/AI. It would be nice to have the game fullscreen with max graphics for when I'm doing that stuff.

 

JSGME is a workaround and not a real solution.

Now that I'm using VR I detected this problem. For a lot of reasons VR users change from VR to screen or viceversa a lot of times and having to change setting and restart so often is an important inconvenience). With the growth of VR users I think this is an important matter, and a easy to implement one (perhaps I am wrong). Thank you!

I supose you have two versions of the startup.cfg file and use JSGME to implement it? That's something I though about yesterday, but as you say, it's just a workaround.

I simply use a pair of bat files for this.

 

echo on
set "root=E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad"
copy "%root%\startup_vr.cfg" "%root%\data\startup.cfg"
start steam://launch/307960/vr

 

echo on
set "root=E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad"
copy "%root%\startup_nvr.cfg" "%root%\data\startup.cfg"
start steam://rungameid/307960

 

The startup_vr.cfg and startup_nvr.cfg are of course the vr config and non-vr config, respectively.
