I have no idea what the deal is but for some reason even when my VR helmet is shut down and I start Elite Dangerous it will automatically load the VR program. Sometimes I just want to use the flatscreen, but how can I get the game to do that without unplugging my VR altogether? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
Switching from VR to Flatscreen help needed

How are you launching Elite?
Through the Frontier-based launcher (not Steam, not Epic)
Probably just the in-game 3D setting kicking in.
I think the easiest way to go back to 2D would be to use DrKaii’s EDprofiler software, available via the thread in this sub-forum. I don’t use it myself, but it looks like you can choose different profiles to start up.
Either that, or disable the 3D setting in Elite’s options and restart the game.

You can also add the /NOVR switch to the launcher shortcut - I have created two shortcuts to launch Elite - VR and non VR
E.g. in the desktop shortcut properties - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\EDLaunch.exe" /novr
I use the EDProfiler to switch graphics options - then I just use whichever shortcut for the playstyle until I next change.
