    Is there a simple way to have two different game configs (graphics, hud, etc) depending if I launch the game in VR or with monitor? I suppose swapping config files is a way, perhaps there is a simpler one. Btw, in case swapping files is the way, in which one/s those settings are stored?

    Sorry if this was already discussed somewhere in the forums. I searched, but I did not find anything.

    its the only way.
    Best is to have 2 config folders, just renaming it with a start script

    Doesn't the game already do this? I always play in VR I thought that it already stores separate configs for "boot to VR" and "boot to monitor". I've not tested this so this is a question not a statement of fact!

    Check these 2 folders:
    \My Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\<>\automobilista 2\profiles
    \My Documents\Automobilista 2\

    not all.
    e.g. seat settings, hud settings are not stored in the graphicsconfig files

    so what config files are they stored in? You describe the best solution but don't say which config folder one needs to duplicate for this to work.

    An unqualified guess is that these settings could be saved in these 2 files in the profiles folder:

    Thanks to everyone for the answers.

    How do you chose in which mode the game starts? I usually run it from steam and select there monitor/openvr mode. Can this be done passing an argument to the AMS2 executable?
