I just got a larger single monitor and replaced my smaller triple monitor set up.  Now DCS shows up in the right 1/3 of the screen of the new monitor.  I cant access any DCS commands to make game internal screen adjustments.  I think its because I had the DCS program itself set up to use the CENTER monitor of the old 3 monitor set up.  Ive changed my display settings in windows and my 580 graphics card but no luck.  Will I need to uninstall the game and reinstall it.  Please, looking for any help Im on my last nerve trying to correct this problem.  Thanks

first try classic ALT+ENTER or ALT+TAB.

If both don't work try find settings or view.lua, i cant recall the name of it.
within it calls the lua, which loads the monitor settings. rename it. (or rename the lua itself)
So you make the setting inapplicable, and it should return to default for the monitor setting and you can return from scratch.
 

Sidenote: working with a Tripple +2MFDs and changed the middle to a wide one. Unchecking the "Windowed" Mode starts DCS from your Main Screen.
Wasnt on purpose, but now i use the left one for everything else... SRS, Teamspeak, Notes, Handbook etc.

TY very much for replying I shall try this recommendation. 

No luck finding the view.lua.  Hooked up one more of the 3 original monitors but can still only get the center part of DCS page to display. Its very hard for me to explain, I just cant get enough of the screen to render after I change the settings in display portion of the game. Arggggg, I was so looking forward to playing DCS in 1440 144hz instead on this 60hz old set up I have from 7 years ago.

     Thank you for replying.  I attempted to locate this file via search on my system but had no luck.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the game but still have the same issue.  Im just not computer smart enough to figure this issue out.  I do greatly appreciate the efforts from this forum to help me out tho.  Maybe  one day Ill get lucky and stumble on what needs to be done to get this game to load correctly on my new monitor.  I may try loading a screen shot of what my problem is so others will better understand my babble language used to try and explain my problem.  Stay safe out there and thanks again for the efforts

@Moon sorry, i totally forgot to look after the file!

it is saved within saved games\dcs\config\options.lua

copy that file as a backup and edit the original

just delete the entry ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "whateverherestays",

and try it again
