[Release]Reanimate's IL-2 Powershell Launching Script

[R3animate]

If this is of use to anyone who switches graphic settings between settings for 2D/VR, here's my launch script. I created this because I got tired of swapping configs manually when I want to confirm whether bugs were VR specific or not.

 

Modify it, improve it, do whatever you want. Open it in your powershell ISE and change the gamepath, steampath, and VR variables as needed. Backup your startup.cfg files. 

 

Edit; Script is provided as-is/I might not be able to fix any issues you encounter.
