It is comments like these that give me the motivation to keep making videos. Thank you friend !

Thank you!! 👍

Glad it helped!

Thank you friend !

Thanks Mike ! Make the jump and make it soon. You will have such fun !!! I wish your dream comes true

Absolutely Karl ! I hope it makes sense to people and it's helpful . I don't pretend to have mastered the topic but I made sure to share all that I discovered. Thanks again for stopping by !

I am having a challenge getting the 3 windows set on each of my 3 55" monitors. I've figured it out with overlaps - the main screen peeks into the side screens by about 2". Might be overthinking it cause it looks fine. But the bezel kit looks cool. Any thoughts from listeners appreciated.

I'm so glad! This is exactly why I make these videos! Why struggle and learn the hard way when someone already figured it out. Spend your energy discovering something else non of us know , than come back here and teach us all! Thank you friend !!

Thank you Tom . I forgot to talk about Field of View and Zoom. In this game they are tied together and they have a weird effect. I need to make a quick follow up video to cover that . Field of view, zoom and physically moving inside the airplane cabin forward and backwards also plays a role in how you view the images in triple screen

@@DaSimSimma Really good video thanks - I will look out for the follow up with field of view and zoom. The MSFS solution seems more complicated than XPlane 11 so your information is very useful and much needed thanks (now subscribed)

@@brexpatfarang3780 thank you. I'm trying not to be overly negative and critical of asobo and Microsoft ....but when you are the only one doing triple screen implementation like this , either you don't know what you're doing and you didn't research the completion OR.....the game is so technically challenging that this was the only solution that would work right now. I would like to believe it the latter because I am pretty dam sure they have a top notch crew working over there. I personally know two friends that have worked in corporate at Microsoft and we're pretty competent folk. In any case....this will work....lol THANKS FOR THE SUB BY THE WAY ! I'm so close to 1000...every sub is precious to me . I hope to continue to provide you value !

@@DaSimSimma Follow up video eagerly awaited..... :)

Very cool I'm glad. If you have any more questions go to my about page on KZfaq and join my discord I don't mind helping you out personally if it comes to that ! Good luck friend !

I am so glad you find value in my videos . I thank you for watching. I'm sorry you can't get the right screen to fit.i wish we could do like a screen share and troubleshoot. I have a discord channels set up .we only have a few members . If I can grow that community maybe we can all hop in there and help each other out with individual issues. I am also on my way to a ppl. I have no hard timeline but I myself am also using the 172 WB to simulate reality. Lastly , I like what you're saying about centering the in-game view in the center screen perfectly but only if I then get to slide over and sit biased to the left of my main screen . Lol I would need 80 inch screens to make this feel accurate but it is not out of the realm of reality . Here's a secret , don't tell my wife ......one day ...I will upgrade to triple 75 or 80 inch screens ....just wait ... 😂 😆 🤣 ( If she reads this post my sim room will mysteriously go up in flames )

I totally agree on the position of the pilots' chair, in my opinion it should be to the most left of the cockpit giving it a more accurate view of the 16«72 cockpit (or any other plane for that matter. But it´s just my point of view. Let us know how that goes and post some pictures or videos.

@@DaSimSimma Okay so I played some more (admittedly on my 3 x 32inch) and, now I am flying the study level Piper Arrow III from Justflight, I need to position myself dead centre of cockpit to visually sync best with the 3 screens to create most comfortable experience. I can shift over the left again for cruise, but being centre also represents my physical relationship to my 3 screens.

I'm so glad !

Hi friend ! Thanks for stopping by ! I do not have a sim hub video :( been meaning to make one for a while. I actually learned to make my first few guages also ...hmmm...soon...soon...what exactly do you want to see in terms of simhub profile ?

Thank you so much for such an in-depth explanation ! This is my second attempt at a reply since I'm using speak to text while I'm doing something else. My last attempt ended up half in English half in Romanian...lol...don't ask ! I think you make very very valid points. I do agree with you that at the end of the day will arrive at 90. But then again that makes what I said correct too that it's in reference to your eye point 90° from Center seems to bring both side screens into alignment. I also understand and agree with you that if you use the scroll wheel on the mouse you can zoom in and out and change the field of view therefore adjusting the overlap further to reduce or enhance it. The very disappointing thing about this whole situation is that I had to come up with my own explanation and you had to come up with your own also. That is very sad when you think that this triple screen technology has been around for over a decade. In that many other games out there provide this technology and in a way that it's very easy to understand and relatable to real life. I am also very annoyed, that after reading such an in-depth explanation is yours, I am still slightly confused. And that is not a reflection of how you described it but a reflection of how confusing things are set up by microsoft. The fact that this is becoming an interpretive dance rather than facts is it the core of the whole problem. Anyways, I really do appreciate such effort that you put into explaining and if you find out more or if you have a way of clarifying further for me I would be glad to hear some more theories. I'm no way deflecting your proposal but rather admitting defeat : either this thing clearly doesn't make sense or I am not intelligent enough to understand this unnecessarily difficult issue before us . Happy flight my friend . Please come back often and continue to provide your insight !

PS . If we receive a couple more inputs and can find consensus, I offer to remake this video so that we can one day offer clarity to the masses. For now I remain confused but eagerly looking for more information and clarity

@@DaSimSimma Yeah, flight simulation... always been a bad sheep in terms of ergonomy or easy to use interface stuff ! When you realize we had to wait untill MSFS to get nice light reflection effects and be able to fly at 30fps without needing a state of the art computer to run a flight sim, you really measure how deep is the problem with flight sims etc... And believe me, I'm a train driver in France, the sims used for training are still ten to twenty years late in terms of graphics, when professional aviation simulator makers can afford to keep up improving a little. But through the years it's getting better and better ! Thanks for your answers ! Have some good flying and driving !

Thanks ! . I mention that in the video at one point. The zoom acts as a gov as stated by Microsoft

Thank you for stopping by and thanks for asking all these questions. I don't have a specific one but I have a video of my whole Sim room and you can kind of see how I built it. The video is on my homepage : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9CUp8efkr2nYY0.html .Everything is based on 80/40 aluminum extrusion. You can buy pre-made but I bought mine piece by piece where I was given most of it. If you work with aluminum extrusion you can cut it all to any size you need and you can build TV stands as well as a whole rig that you can sit inside of or that can host your yolk. I'm working on a video right now to show how I built my flight Sim panel I will make sure to discuss how the panel in the yolk are actually situated on to my rig. Speaking of, and sorry for being all over the place I do have a small video that shows how I go from driving to flying and in that moment you can see how things attach here it is : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndhoqJWI1JqtkXU.html

@@DaSimSimma The links were brilliant, and strategic use of black foam core aside, amazingly elegant as well!

Just go to my channel and search Asus bezel free kit. You'll see a video that explains how it's done. For my 55-in Vizio TVs. There's a kit that you can buy in Etsy from a gentleman in England. I'm sorry I don't have his name right now. Just search it on Etsy

Oh my gosh I'm so embarrassed. I have so many videos I literally thought you were talking to me about American truck simulator I didn't even see where this comment belonged. The short answer for your question is still no there's no way to do it outside of moving the camera around a little bit but you might not be happy with the few that you get

Thanks friend ! A lot of people ask your question but it's not possible yet . I actually built a custom 3d panel that's ultra low profile in an effort to blend the screen panel with my real cockpit : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJaYZbGV2diYYmQ.html

Hi Kevin. I do have 4 screens connected . I should try it !!! ( Rebuilding my flight panel so my 4thvis disconnected . But should be up and running by next weekend . I'll let you know )

Sorry for the late reply, continue to mess with the degree number. Try changing it by 0.1 at a time. Also, use your scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out. That should also give you some adjustability. That's scroll wheel will look like it's zooming in but what it's actually doing is changing the field of view.

I'm sorry I would love to help but I read this a few times and I honestly don't understand your question. Let's try another way ...after watching this or any other of my videos that show me flying ... Do my screens look correct or give you the view you desire ?kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gt6fe9iBtNq7mqM.html

Another way to say is : after properly setting it up and tuning it in , my setup behaves as I would expect a plane to behave and the corresponding views are also correct in everyway. Also , in my about page there's a link to discord. You can join us on discord me and the few friends we have in there can also try to address your question in more detail. Perhaps you can even show us some pictures?

Thanks friend 🙏

You are so welcome Jeff !! I hope it helped !!

I often wondered the same thing. I cannot say with confidence since I never tried different size screens. I'm sorry I don't want to "guess" or give wrong info . Keep researching around on Google and see what you turn up .have you tried the fs2020 official forum ? So many friendly people there willing to help !

@@DaSimSimma thansk !

I'm so sorry for this extremely delayed response. I wouldn't let that tiny feature keep you away from this game, it is quite amazing. With all that said I'm completely pissed off at them and the stupid hahahaha . They are coming out with a new version in 2024 they're going to ask us all for another $100. That's why I'm pissed. But the game itself is absolutely amazing. Regarding your role comment just get the game and you'll see how stupid that feature is and how it makes no sense at all hahahhaha

Mine are all the same size . 55in . I think you can do different size monitors just set them up properly in Nvidia control panel and it should work in the sim ! (Should , cause I have not tried it myself )

To run a proper triple screen setup like this, you must use individual output ports into individual TVs. You cannot use a HDMI splitter. Most new graphic cards will have a minimum of three outputs on the back and they are usually DisplayPort. My TVs are HDMIs in my graphics card is DP but they make cables that go between the two. The start is one thing in the end is another.

I have ! I have a few older videos where I show what it looks like. It does work on all monitors . more so, you can turn the side monitors to a lower resolution than the center one ! 4k in the center ...2k on the sides for me

Yessir ! Most simracing games require surround than they support true triple projections from within the game menu . I play racing and truck sim

So sorry for the late reply . I do not play FCS . i tried it but I'm a snob for amazing graphics and immersion on one hand the planes in DCs are quite amazing in their insane detail, but on the other hand I love the environment depiction and the availability of the whole world in flight simulator. That and, I am not necessarily interested in bang bang shoot shoot and perhaps I enjoy aimlessly looking around in a tiny Cessna with no purpose whatsoever. 😂 With all that said DCS is an amazing game and I have friends that play it and enjoy thoroughly!

I hope I understand correctly. But you cannot have both views at the same time. You either are inside the plane or outside the plane. You cannot have both. Or I have not seen anybody do it before

@@DaSimSimma Sorry for not explaining myself wellI, but I understand, I thought there was something like fsx that you could put the runway view in another window and the instruments in another and thus separate them. =( Tanks for answering so fast.

Glad this was helpful ! I'm working on a video showing how to hook up up to 5 screens . PS I don't think it works for tail draggers because : any rotation you do in the options disconnects the side screens from the center one...which means they don't align at all and everything looks whacky! What I was trying to express is : if you rotate the screen in the options you have to physically toate the screens in real life . I didn't want to appear as if I am talking crap but here is the guy who did what I am describing and ... I have no idea why you would do such a thing .. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oM2HmZWemuCUp2w.html

@@DaSimSimma ahhhh I see! thanks for the info!

The vertical offset can compensate for non identical monitors/TVs placed on different levels according to the main screen 😉

@@bodyspike Being that it is a rotation and not a slide or zoom I'm no sure it helps with different size screens. The image simply rotates on a pivot that is the center of the screen . It rotates up and down . If the screens were already a different size ....the projected image would be a different size there for rotating wouldn't provide better alignment because the images are already misaligned by scale. I'm not challenging your statement but you added another kink to the never ending triple screen drama within fs2020. PS Wouldn't it be lovely if the Microsoft provided a clear and concise tutorial ??? Instead of having chumps like me trying to trial and error our way through it .... 😂

Look up "asus bezel free kit'... I have a video about it on my channel but there's plenty of videos on the internet about it. Because I have 55-in screens, there's a gentleman somewhere on Etsy from England that sells these things to fit all the way up to 65-in screens

If you do to my Mani page you will see a video on my whole sim room setup. And yes HDMI to do but be carefully on cable specs , "them boys be fibbing out there . Many cables many returns

Also, thanks for the compliment ;) . I used to use this thing called Asus vessel free kit. I made a video about it on my channel. But I've since moved on to this new homemade solution that I bought on Etsy. I owe that gentleman an awesome review. I'm going to get on it this week I promise. Please come back and you'll see

@DaSimSimma thank you very much for the quick response! I will check your videos for the complete setup.

@CoolDude-zv6dm I apologize for making you watch more videos to get an answer. Have a short amount of time since I have a daily job and I get a lot of questions so I try to answer them as quick as I can. The easiest way is to send you into my library of videos, all the answers are there :) If something doesn't make sense or you're still looking for answers, please come back and ask. I promise I will try my best to answer

I use HDMI to Display port cables. The make ones that start as one plug and end as the other. You just have to make sure they are certified for 4k at 60 hertz minimum. Just like you I have a 3080 withe display and one HDMI. Not much to it. But you have to buy the right cables. I bought a few before I found the right ones .

@@DaSimSimma yea got it thnx alot. 🙏🏻

Placing the 90 causes problems for most of my other games. I love flight simulator but I'm really into truck simulator and all the other driving games. Not to mention the fact that I couldnt really get in and out of the seat comfortably, so you could say it was also a space thing. I'm really glad that you got something out of this video and it's helping you out !

Of course , I understand, the question was rhetorical. But my question back to you is can you imagine what that looks like in the gaps that are formed top and bottom of those screens... So the final question still remains WHY ?? LOL

@@DaSimSimma Considering the screens used were so small I thought it was a pretty neat idea actually... and ... ultimately its what works for him

@@biff3183 and that's a point I cannot disagree with . Everyone does the best they can with what they have .

No, the point is to extend the side views below the bottom of the middle screen. Traditional three-screens-in-a-line setups are compromised by having the middle screen mounted high, usually high enough to clear a yoke. This seriously compromises the side views because it restricts the downwards visibility. You can mitigate this by mounting the side screens lower, but then you start to lose the top of the view. Putting your side screens in portrait orientation is another option, but the 'twisted' display gives a great compromise in my experience. The video linked by the OP was just an experiment to see if MSFS can now do this as well as P3D View Groups. The benefits are more obvious in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7GdjJZqnL6dfI0.html

@@AlmostAviation Thanks!!

I found a gentleman somewhere in England that creates custom bezel kits for up to 65 inch screens. That is what you're looking at in this video. Somewhere on my page you can see a video where I've glued two kits together so four actual pieces of plastic. I've long since moved away from that. Speaking of, I still owe that gentleman a nice KZfaq review. I love his stuff and it's so affordable. So much more affordable than buying the Asus bezel free kit!

You could but you shouldn't. I talk about that at the beginning . The goal with triple screens would be to surround yourself with the image . If not one should purchase a ultra wide screen because that would be the ultimate outcome

Hi Dave ! 65 ...65 all day !!! Long story short : id like to tuck the screen lower behind my fanatec. It would be so much more immersive to be able to see more dashboard !!!

Thank you for reply, sincerely appreciate u talking the time. I’ll aim for 65 as you suggested and hold out a little longer. Thank you again

Having had 55 in for a while now I di notice some other things : please be aware that the bigger the screens the further away the sidescreens will be from you. On one hand things will be bigger in exactly one to one skill to real life. But there's something weird about the screens being that far away. The way to defeat this is to have a completely dark room. I have a custom built room with no windows or anything in my basement. It's a small detail but I thought I would mention it . @boostedmedia channel talks about the same thing in one of their older videos . But , he has 65 oleds . Try watching some of his content . Maybe you can l get some different perspectives and opinion

I'm certain what you described is happening but it shouldn't be. That's not how mine behaved. If I set my view in one plane , it applies to all planes. Hmmm...I'm so intrigued as to why IG is happening to you . To be clear once more...once you set up triple screen once, it should work for all planes

The best of free kid will stretch the images a little bit so you will never get perfect alignment. You have to kind of live with it

I'm not able to go down and test it right now but I do recall something about mouse function default behavior. Somewhere in options and settings and controls there is a setting for mouse to be used as legacy or something similar look into it and let me know if you resolve it. If not I might have to do it tomorrow. Happy new year friend!

@@DaSimSimma Thanks for the quick response - Happy New Year to you also.

I need to tell you ahead of time that this is just an opinion. Not knowing exactly every setting that you have ETC. 1 I hope you have an Nvidia card. I'm not sure how AMD does things. 2. You must run the game in triple screen , but NOT IN NVIDIA SURROUND . 3. Run the game in "multi monitor mode" with three properly aligned monitors . 4.run the game FIRST in WINDOWED MODE instead of full screen ! 5. Create these new windows. And apply your best guess for"lateral rotation. Mine I somewhere in the high 80's in degrees. Even when you get this far , the NEW windows will still appear on top of one another . 6. Because the game is now running in windowed mode, you can click up at the top of the window and drag it to the left or the right monitor period do that for the additional two windows with the appropriate one on the right in the other on the left of the center monitor 7. If you got this far and everything is working we're almost done. Now that the two new windows are on the monitors they belong to, you can carefully click at the top of each window and drag it with your mouse until it hits the top of the screen . this will make this new window snap and fill the whole monitor .you can do that for the left and the right period even now although it takes up the full screen we are running the game in windowed mode. but I hope right now everything is aligned and working . 8. Final step . Go back to graphics settings and make sure to put the game in full screen in the main graphic settings. There will only take care of the center main window. Now go to the options where you added the two new windows and also set those two options for those two windows to full screen period. Going through these ridiculous convoluted steps should help you arrive at the same place I am at. 8. If all of this worked now you have to write to Microsoft and ask them how come some idiot on KZfaq has to explain how the game functions. And how come that same idiot had to make a video to explain to everybody how to set up their windows.....and how come ....this game is so frustrating. Ok ...jokes aside. I hope that helps friend ! . By the way, if you go to my KZfaq about page you'll find a link to a discord. If you jump on my discord I will do my best to help you out. I'm having a family emergency at this time and might not be able to be immediately available but I'll do my best to help you wherever I can I really hope that this made sense , used speech to text. I'm not necessarily in a position to sit down and write this out properly. Good luck friend

Thanks friend ! Can't wait for you to enjoy 3 screens !!!

Here you go ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdSPqNuKnrSReJ8.html

Sorry for the late reply . I used to have 3 32 inch VIOTEK . They are Amazon made in China monitors but flawless quality ! I sold them so I can got BIG ! Other wise I had no issues. Look up VIOTEK and make a choice that fits your budget . I bought mine with budget in mind

Thanks, but don’t think it’s available in the uk 🇬🇧

I tried DCs but I did not like it so I uninstalled

I personally bought Vizio M Series "GAMING TV" . My decision was very much influenced by price. 3 tvs can cost quite a lot of money as you can imagine. Next was refresh rate . Of course I wanted 120 hertz but ...3 , 4k tv running at 120 hz it means 4k triple screen at 120 fps. No graphics card out there can run fs2020 at 120fps . The 4090 with DLSS 3.0 night get close. All of that to say , of course I want OLED 120HZ tv but I settled for middle of the road. Second was size consideration . I think 55 to 65 is the sweet spot. Any bigger and it looks out of scale in real life. Any smaller and you might as well buy a gaming monitors at 1440p .it sounds to me like I should make a video to walk through all these ideas ....thanks for asking !

@@DaSimSimma Thanks. What is the résolution used and do you use the same résolution on the 3 Tvs?

The TV's are all set to 3840x2160 . That is what windows displays the desktop at. In game , it is rendered at : center 3840x2160 and side screens at 2560x1440

Very stupid question so I apologize in advance : is your game set up to update automatically are you sure you are on the latest update. That feature was unable to many many months ago so I'm assumed that you are but no I've never heard of such a thing. I'm assuming the only guys who don't have it are guys on Xbox

The size of the monitors has nothing to do with the settings in the game. A monitor can be 10 inches across in B4K or it can be 80 in across and still be 4k. Certain monitors have a certain max resolution. You just have to understand what the resolution is of each monitor first

Hi Paul . In the experimental screen , where you define how many windows and what resolution , there is a tab that lets you select WIDOWED vs FULLSCREEN ...something to that effect . You probably have one of the unintentionally on windowed

I'm so sorry I'm not sure what a triple head2go is... But be careful any graphics card that doesn't have three to four HDMI or display port outputs on the end is probably an older card. Even my new 3080 struggles to render 3 screens . As seen in most of my videos I'm getting anywhere from 30 to 50 fps and that is barely adequate. Be carefully before you spend the money , make sure your you can handle 3 screens

You have to think of a from two different angles. On one hand it's the angles of the physical side screens in relation to the center screen. On the other hand there are the angles that you can adjust in the simulator The angles of your TV's in real life depend on you in the amount of space that you have. In order to feel amorous that is recommended that you wrap them around you as much as you can all the way up to 90 degrees . The simulator itself allows you to account for your own settings so that you can get it to look correct. You have to be careful when trying to match my settings exactly those things really work for me in my situation but there are so many variables that they might not exactly translate to what you want to do. The whole point in my answer is : you are not locked into a certain measurement you can do whatever you want as long as you mess with the settings and get them to look good in the end

I apologize I gave you a long response piece by piece . I'm having trouble with my KZfaq app

Thanks for the quick reply. I get it now. I didn't know the software had that level of adjustment. Thanks for the great video.

Hi friend : the settings could be the same but : if you are only using 1080 you might be able to turn up the anti aliasing settings. Making it look a bit better. It depends on your graphics card and what it can handle. Start with my type of settings and keep turning it up as you computer can handle . 2. This is a bit more complicated . OBS will be a drag on your resources . There's no way around it . Tell it to capture the center window only . Here is why : every video on KZfaq is a 16:9 format . Capturing the ultra wide 3 monitor screen will be very difficult and of no use . Most of the action happens on the center screen anyways. I alsoI highly recommend downloading GeForce experience and using that to record. That only works if you have a Nvidia card. The reason it is better is because it captures the video directly from the graphics card right as you see it using almost NO Video RESOURCE! Sometimes when I record , I loose 1 fps but sometimes I feel like I don't lose any !!! That is how good it performs . Obs comes after and uses more resources . The way I explain it , is the way I use it to record my footage. I also use a lot of go pro video in first person so I don't relay strictly on screen capture. I hope this helps if not , I am here . Let me know

@@DaSimSimma Thank you for taking time for reply

You need three HDMI outputs because the video card needs to understand how to put out three different video signals. Some laptops can put out video signal through the USBC port. Depending on what you're talking about. If you have an older graphics card then it's not possible

Hi friend, this question comes up quite often. I don't expect you to go back and read every comment but the answer is pretty simple. You have to go on Amazon and order yourself a cable that starts off as display port and ends up as HDMI. They make those cables. But you must be extremely careful. I am not lying to you. When I tell you that I ordered over 15 cables. Some will say that they handle the high bit rate at 4k and 60 hertz but they will not. Furthermore, the problem you're going to have is if your TVs can handle 120 hertz those cables are going to be even more rare to come by. They will be available. They might be expensive and they might have to be sent back a couple times until you get ones that work properly. The way you know a cable doesn't work is literally no image comes out so don't get frustrated. That's just how it works. Please come back here and let me know after you've resolved this issue. I'm very curious and very excited for you to get this going

@@DaSimSimma thank you! I have some additional cables ordered this time shorter length. I read online somewhere that 10ft is the max. I was running 15ft ! Fingers crossed. I will let you know the results

@@DaSimSimma hello. I got new cables and I can now do 4K 120hz on each monitor. However I have a new problem. I can only activate 2 screens at a time. I have a Zotac RTX 3090 OC. Do you think it’s enough ?

Please explain a little bit more. When you say two screens. What do you mean to screens? Do you mean you can only activate two in the game or only two of the screens work from the graphics card? Please let me know. It's not enough. By the way, you should be able to run three screens with no problem. One of your settings is messed up either in the game or in the Nvidia control panel. We still get to the bottom of it no problem. I really advise you going to my discord channel. You can find a link to it in my about page on KZfaq

@@DaSimSimma my friend. I don’t know why or how but yesterday I changed all the ports on the televisions to hdmi 1 which is a standard hdmi port, All three worked at 4K 60 Then, I moved all the ports back to hdmi 3 which is a “enhanced hdmi port” 4K @120hz All three work. I enable nvidia surround and it’s all working I’m literally staggered.

Great question ! I get it slot , so I made a video ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdSPqNuKnrSReJ8.html

I'm so sorry for the late reply. I'm not active on KZfaq much these days I moved my operation over to twitch. It's funny you say that about performance because the other day I played without streaming online. Streaming for me takes at least 25% of my pc resources. Once I stop streaming and continue playing I swear to you that I got anywhere from 55 to 59 constant fps. It was in a general aviation aircraft flying around dubai. I haven't played the game that much since I made this video since I got into truck simulator and racing but I'm surprised to see how far we've come and how well the game plays.

A lot of those settings actually don’t need to be that low as they have minimal effect on frames.

I have a 3080 which has four video outputs on the back. Three of them are DisplayPort. And yes, I'm actually using cables that start off as display port and end up as HDMI. I hope this helps

I have not tried it but I am sure it is possible since the game allows many windows to be open ....

@@DaSimSimma Thanks. I've been flying VR for five years but my headset causes eye strain so I'm looking at multiple monitors as an alternative. I think it comes down to whether the "wrap around setting" that blends the forward and two side monitors will also recognize the overhead monitor as "extra real estate" on which to extend the image to show what's above the pilot's head. Your thoughts are muchly appreciated.

@dogfightdiary5712 I just tried for the last 20 minutes and it keeps crashing. I added a fourth window and it's possible in theory but any step after adding that window results in a crash ....I was actually making a short video but unfortunately it keeps crashing...The most unfortunate part is that I actually changed my triple screen settings by mistake and now I can't fix it because it constantly crashes .....this game is so amazing and yet SO AMAZINGLY BAD !!!!

@@DaSimSimma Wow, brother, you were trying to help and it caused you problems. I am really sorry to hear that. I hope it won't be too difficult to correct and wish you good luck with it. Thanks for trying! // I, too, think a four monitor array is doable but it seems to depend on how the settings are arranged. Lots of hidden gremlins there. I worked for weeks to get WOFF 2 working in VR with VorpeX so I know how frustrating it can be. // I was pricing monitors last night and wow! Outfitting my Fokker D7F sim pod with wraparound monitors of the size I'd need is super expensive. And they are big and heavy which would make it hard to get in and out of the pod. // I did learn of two new VR headsets with a sufficiently wide IPD and one has adjustable binocular lenses so I won't need to buy prescription lens inserts. It's also very lightweight as headsets go. It doesn't have the best graphics on the market but it's still very good and certainly good enough for my purposes. So I guess that's my next move. // Thanks again for your help and I hope it all works out well for you. 👍

This applies to all planes in fa2020 . Sorry, hope I understood the question

These are all very good questions ! A video is in order !!! I promise. To give you the quick answer . I have 3 Vizio gaming TV's . They only do 60hrz Wich means I cannot see more than 60fps even if my card could output more. I have a founders edition Nvidia 3080. It is the basic one . All TV's are hooked up to the 3 Display ports on the back of the card . I bought specific cables that go from DO To HDMI and can support 4k at 60hz. That question also comes up a lot. As I said before my best videos come from questions like this . You have no idea .... Please give me till late next week . Replying to you from an Airbus 319 as we speak ...going out of town but shall return in a few days !

Quick side note . The card has 3 DO ports and 1 HDMI. people use that last one to run a touch screen for air manager but it is a hog on fps and resources. I found a way to use the additional HDMI on the mother board ( look at the back of your computer) they say that reduces the load on your gou since the CPU has to run that image . I'm still getting over 40 to 50 fps using in in this fashion....This is another video in the making ;)

@@DaSimSimma thanks for the replies. I'm looking to upgrade everything soon including to MSFS. Just a thought that you may or may not have considered, air player can be run using arduino or raspberry pi (I use the latter) so fps not affected. I contacted simovations and they say knobster and I assume touch screen all supported via air player. I got a raspberry pi for 40 pounds sterling plus cost of airplayer but for Nil FPS reduction was a good buy I think

I did get airplayer and I also got air manager running on a separate pc. I actually bought a laptop just for that. The problem with that is you cannot do pop out windows. So you will be able to enjoy instruments complicated and simple but you will not be able to see any of your MFD and PFD. Let me pull together a video showing how to use the HDMI on the back of your motherboard

@@DaSimSimma whats the link for the cables?

55inch Vizio m series 60hertz

Sorry I'm a bit confused ? Flight simulator isn't available on PS5 . Sorry I don't understand what your asking .

I will have to go down and check but it has something to do with running it in multiple monitor mode versus Nvidia surround mode. One of the two causes the exact scenario you just described. Where one window hides behind the other. The reason you can only select 2000 by 1400 is because that is the only resolution reminder except. And it knows that from your window / Nvidia settings . No sense in offering you a higher resolution if your screen cannot output that resilution

@@DaSimSimma oh I thought you would select 7680x1440 so it knows to fill over three monitors. I wasn’t using Nvidia surround if that’s the issue.

I GOT IT I just got the answer as I typed this !!!! You have to set each window to 2000x1400 and they will all appear right on top of one another you have to go back and tell it to go into windowed mode not full screen!!! You have to do that in the main window and also in the same menu where you added the additional side screens . Each one has to be designated whatever the opposite of full screen is....i think it's borderless windowed ...??Now that we are in windowed mode you can grab each window and place it on each monitor. You can grab each window and try to magnetize it to the top of each monitor which will therefore make it into full screen only on that monitor. I'm sure you've done this with windows before so you know what I'm talking about. After you've done this and you've assigned a position to each window one to the left one in the center and one on the right ... Now we go back in the menus display, and we assign each window to full screen mode!!!

The only change that I make is moving the pilots position , and that includes up down rear and backwards plus the scroll wheel to adjust the field of view. Fortunately I have a stream deck that has hotkeys assigned to seat position for every plane that I fly

@@DaSimSimma FS2020 newbie...does changing the pilot's position keep that change even after recentering the view? I have 32" ultrawide displays; sometimes I need to look behind/almost behind me. Also, I can't find any bezel hiding kits for monitors larger than 27". 🤔

The View will be retained when you recenter while flying. But as soon as you exit that flight or the game you will lose that view. You can actually save those views by pressing alt control in a number from what I recall don't quote me on it and you can always bring that back by pressing a similar set of keys. I have this favorite view saved for every single plane individually, unfortunately I use a stream deck which is a hot key button box. So when I press a button it just takes me right to that view every single time for every one of my planes. Also they do make kits bigger than 27 in mine are 2 27-in glued together but now you can go on Etsy and order up to 65 in custom-made. Here they are friend !! www.etsy.com/listing/1296495845/anti-bezel-bezel-free-kit?load_webview=1&bid=Rlhbo_n8S1ArVzWO3E17ijS0Unfq

It Absolutely WILL !!! BEFORE I lost my mind and half my savings into this project , I also had triple 32 inch screens ! It works just Fine !!! Do want you can now and upgrade down the road ! The Chinese made gaming monitors on Amazon are pretty freaking sweet, and a sweet deal I speak from experience! Good luck friend

@DaSimSimma awesome good to know! Thanks for your reply! And merry Christmas!

I did that. Works perfectly. I chose 2 cheap 27" VA panels. Curved. Thin bezels.

Thanks Bud. 55in

@@DaSimSimmacan I ask 1 more thing? How is the excitement level after a year? Do you sit down with the same satisfaction? Did it worth the investment? I ask this bc according my calculations this upgrade would cost me the price of a license to fly a Cessna. 😅 Can you call over aviation fan friends to enjoy the experience together?

It's funny that you ask this question. I enjoy it exactly the same as the first day. I actually keep investing in it every so often. Getting better and better gear. It's a bit of a disease. Next stop on the menu is a better computer motion simulation in OLED 65-in screens. I don't intend to stop any day. The other reason this is interesting is because I've also considered the Sim rig versus getting a pilot's license. One of my friends at work has a license and it's an absolutely amazing feeling to enjoy the fruit of his labor with him. Unfortunately that hobby is a lot more expensive than just a pilot's license, and I'm sure you already know that. That's not to say either or, but it's much easier to maintain my hobby than to go and pursue his. Stay. The course my friend get yourself a Sim rig that works in the winter summer fall. It works when it's raining. It works when you're sad and when you're happy. I hope I'm making my point. If you want to take a flight, find a friend. Pay $270 for 2 hours and come on back down and play Sim racing with us;)

Sorry not sure if it was obvious but I use my rig for flying in for Sim racing. All you have to do is check my channel. There's a video where I show how I translate between the two. So this is more than a flight rig. It's a jack of all trades

Sorry I don't understand . How do you mean offsetting to the side ?

Olá Bruno muito obrigado por assistir esse canal. Mal posso esperar para ver o que você fará. Estou me divertindo tanto que sei que você também vai gostar. Falo com você em breve amigo

All 3 work but there like separate computers almost

Not at this time sorry :)

@@DaSimSimma I use master/slave computers on XP and have been able to have 280 degree view and maintain 75+fps at 1080p on 48" monitors. I would like to be able to do that with MSFS2020. Using XP11 while waiting on MSFS2020 I have been able to increase my true ppl training and beginning ifr training but would like to also do it on MSFS2020 because the graphics are outstanding. I hope soon!

I respectfully disagree with you. when you rotate the window , you are rotating the window inside the plane as well as what you see outside that window. So....if you rotate the side windows and not the center....you literally throw the world out of alignment . Btw .... I'm curious if you have a triple screen setup and if you have tried it yourself. Perhaps I'm not understanding?

They are 55inch Vizio m series gaming TV's. I don't have a link cause they upgrade them all the time. These might be obsolete

@@DaSimSimma thanks 👍

Look across my channel brother, you'll see racing trucking farming you'll see it all man. If the game supports it, it looks amazing and you will be immersed

By the way " please put your hands together and give a warm welcome to Queen's finest Randy Watson"
