is there a way to reset graphic settings to default outside of the simulator??

[sage0035]

issue I have is I set my monitor up incorrectly in the sim to 1monitor + so it looks like two box's on my one monitor. I cant see the settings to change it back in the graphic settings. is there anyway to set this back to defaults or alter this outside of the simulator? thanks any help would be great... :pilotfly::pilotfly::pilotfly:

You can go to: C:\Users"Your Profile"\Saved Games\DCS or DCSOpenBeta

 

and you can rename the config folder to ConfigOLD. Relaunch DCS and it will recreate a new Config folder with default settings.

 

If you know how to navigate your way through folders, you can just transfer any key bindings you have for your joysticks/throttle combo.

Glad I could help. Are you trying to reconfigure your multi-monitor set-up? Been there. :)

actually I tried what you said, the sim just does not load and crashes. no my graphic settings are incorrect, when I enter the simulator. I only see half a screen on my monitor. I am trying to set back to default... I cant see the whole screen to change the settings in the graphic settings...

isn't there a way to change the graphic settings to what I want in the config file anymore?

Did you rename the folder under Saved Games? because there's another Config folder in the actual Eagle Dynamics Folder under Program Files.

 

If you did, you can do a repair DCS World (or OpenBeta, depends on which version you use), under Start Programs > Eagle Dynamics

You can still edit using the lua files using "Notepad++". You can always repair if you mess up.

either way can someone tell me how to fix the thing? would be nice.

I'm not at my PC at the moment. But all of these settings are in the Users"name"\Saved Games\DCS\Config folders.

 

Renaming that will force DCS to recreate a new Config folder with default settings which should get you started.

 

NOT the folders inside Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS....

ok I removed the config directory, did the repair dcs_updater.exe repair. it rebuild the directory, still only half a screen, anyone have any ideas??

[christiankirk81]

Let me get back to you in a few. On my way back home. I know there's a way to edit the config files directly, just not sure which file and which line.
