Visual D does not support the redirection as part of the debug options.

If you load the application executable as a separate project, you can 
debug the application using the usual command line options for 
redirection, but with the VS debug engine.

If you run VS2015 and have a recent build installed from appveyor (e.g. 
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rainers/visuald/build/job/8rosl2530m8un2bk/artifacts), 
and build with dmd 2.072 or later, you'll also get Mago integration for 
D code.
