Screwed the display settings in Options now DCS (stable 2.7) crashes on start

I screwed the display settings in Options, now DCS (stable 2.7) crashes on start 

I have 24"/30"/24" monitors and I was trying to get the middle 30" to be 1 screen with the other two blank/unused. I just put different settings in the options inside the game and now, no boot...

Can I reset the options whilst DCS is closed, or copy a file from my open beta install (they are set up very similarly) ?

or do I do a fresh installation?

Rename the savegames/dcs folder and let it create a new one. Than copy the new luas connected to the graphics settings to your renamed folder and delete the new one. Rename the old one back and you should be fine.

You can edit options.lua in your saved games\DCS\config folder and manually change height and width under graphics and try that. Or copy same file from your beta folder in saved games

Thank BigNewy and gents, I noticed a Options.lua.Backup from August last year, in there and copied the contents to the options lua and now everything is fine.

Thanks every one for the prompt response. 

Or as the Aussies say "Bonza Cobba Doodah!"
