ab52h Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Please Help a Noobie, here is the message I sent to support, and hopefully someone here would like to help me out also: Message Hi, Please help. While I am new to this simulator, and after downloading the Nevada Terrain, along with F-15 RF campaign, and A-10 Campaign, etc. I had problems with game freezing at end when crashing an aircraft, but HERE IS MY REAL PROBLEM NOW: After trying different view settings, I clicked on a view/ resolution which I think was mfd, mffd, mddf ? and now the screen looks like the attached pics. and I cant get the original view back like full screen. I tried just about everything, uninstall with everything including registry settings, deleting all browser history, cache, cookies, everything and I still get the same screen when starting. I cant change the RES/ view, because the screen is so narrow. I cant do restore (restore points were deleted somehow by another program? or windows) I have already spent about $100 on this simulation and love it, do want to give it up so Please help, how do I get the original setting back, like my first install. By the way, I am using WIN 7-64, 4.00ghz quad core intel, 16GB MEM, GTX980 4GB VRAM. thanks for your time for this great program, Tom in Ca.

cichlidfan Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I don't have the sim in front of me for reference but if you delete the config folder under Saved Games\DCS\, it should fix your problem. There is a file in the config folder that is really the one you are after but I don't recall the file name at the moment.

ab52h Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Well, my friend, you are 100% right. What was wrong with me, never ever did that cross my mind. And I built this PC, LOL!!! Im an idiot for sure on this one. Now I hope I can get all my Modules back and the campaigns, along with terrain I have already purchased. I hope so, I have all the serial numbers. Thanks so much for the help, I will be the first to admit I am an idiot , at least with this Sim, lol. (and others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nothing you have installed has been lost. All you deleted are any settings and joystick/controller configs. You are quite welcome.
