hoochiekoo Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I've just set monitor to camera+LMFCD and cannot go back to 1 screen because the OK button is on the other screen. How to fix this?
smallberries Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I think you'll need to manually edit your drive:\USERS\username\SAVEDGAMES\DCS\CONFIG\options.lua, and change the monitor back to another file for the moment. You will perhaps have to edit a .lua to reflect your particular situation, OR you need to adjust your screen size at the same time as using the lua that corresponds to your setup. In any case, if you don't already know, to edit a lua you shouldn't use notepad, it can bung up the file. Grab Notepad++, a free download, and a superior program anyways. In the options.lua there will be a setting for "multimonitorsetup" that indicates the name of the .lua, such as "camera+LMFCD", and you can change that back to the stock camera lua until you get yourself sorted. I have been there myself a couple of times. You'll have to play around until you figure it out. P.S. The height and width values in the same section of the options.lua set your overall screen size, which should be the total of your monitor and mfd. For instance, for me, with a 2560x1440 monitor, and 2 800x600 MFDs below it, my setting for width is 2560 still (both MFDs exist within the overall width of 2560, as they total 1600), but my height is 2040, as they add to it.

Art-J Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Options.lua file in your C:\Users\[your profile]\Saved Games\DCS\Config\ location stores all the gfx data, so either edit it, or delete it and let the game go back to default settings. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Satmax Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I just ran into this, will post the quick fix in case anyone else runs into this... Of course, use Notepad++ In the options.lua file, find the ["graphics"] section. Find the ["multiMonitorSetup"] entry. You'll probably recognize the entry in quotes on this line to what you selected in options. To return this to a single screen, change the text in the quotes to "1camera" (That's a number 1, not an L) Save, restart DCS.

Ran in to the exact same 'problem' this morning and your quick fix was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot
