Quick tip: Click on the sliders then use mouse wheel scroll to easily move values in small increments without having to type numbers into the value boxes :)

IF I may, I'd like to correct you on one INCORRECT statement . It's crucial that people understand this so that they can enjoy a faster running game: Same Resolution IS NOT Necessary this is a crucial point. I am personally am running 3, 55 in 4k tvs. I'm using a 3080 cpu. Although very capable, it does come to a grind when running three 4K tvs. Therefore I set my Center monitor resolution to 4K and the two side ones (left and right) to 1440p. Doing so allows my game to run much faster frames per second, because it's not rendering as many pixels on the left and right screen. It is incorrect to say that you cannot align them because you absolutely can. You guys can try this on your own. I have videos showing it working. The one thing that becomes difficult is if you're using physically different sized monitors. Even so, with a little bit of patience those can be aligned..There is a benefit to it so I want to make sure you guys knew

I'm considering trying multi-monitors, and your video by far is the most concise I've seen so far. Thanks!

For me I can't get it perfect. I can only get it perfect for one particular position. What I have done is set a few custom views that are pretty good and have a button on my controller to swap views then it is fairly realistic. I don't know if it's a coincidence but I am 78 years young and I agree with Old Guy Gaming Network's comment below that I prefer it to VR. I have 3x24 inch monitors at 45 degrees for the sides and I get about the same fps as with VR (HP Reverb G2). I love VR with my racing sims but for MSFS 2020 I prefer this Multi Monitor even if it's not perfect. Hopefully Asoto will put some more effort into this as time goes by. I am now off to explore the other setup links you have recommended. Thanks for posting this topic.

Mark - as a relative novice your videos are excellent, not only my flying skills have improved so have my computer skills, keep em coming

[CarlCrez]

Haven't installed the update yet but can't wait to try multi monitor, have 3x 43inch 4k screens

[mikecoffee]

no matter the topic wheather it applies to me or not like I can only have one monitor Your Videos are Always Study Level

[rh]

Thanks Mark. This is excellent and SU10 has transformed FS2020 for me. Now I’m tempted to move the sim onto my sim racing rig with triple 32 monitors and full motion.

[Dmeson]

Thank you Mark, again a brillant how-to video!

Hi Mark, finally I upgraded from 2 * 4K screens to 3 * 4K screens and with a 4090 and a little settings ajustements it's a big immersive difference !!!

[scottishrebels]

Love your vids Mark. You have helped me (and no doubt countless others) a lot this last year or two. I think of you as the "David Attenborough" of the Flight Sim world. :)

Hey bud you can also use the mouse wheel to get real close to your screen values instead of typing them onto the window screen

[billschannel]

Ok, for people who only have 2 monitors I'll have to make a table for POSH directions and locations so that you see the best stuff like traveling by old timey ships.

The Nividia Control Panel has a feature on the left side panel called Configure Surround, PhysX which is 10 times faster to setup and align. It also has a built in feature for bezel correction which you can adjust (it provides a crosshatch image to make this easier). You can then pan or translate to your heart's content while flying and the image will always look correct. No matter where you are sitting. And no matter if you are in cockpit, external. or Drone view.

[MohamedSarhanTube]

definitely going to try it today, thanks for the clear demonstration and tip, I wonder how it would end up with me as I have monitors of different size

[annoluce]

Great video and explanation I just bought 2 extra monitors and I'll be following your guide! Even though I'm a VR user, once in a while is good to enjoy 1440p details...

[Bellthorian]

I highly recommend an ultrawide 32x9 aspect ratio monitor for flight simulator vs multi monitors. I play at a resolution of 5120x1440 and from my desk position the monitor fills up my side to side field of view. From within the cockpit it feels very realistic and I prefer it to playing in VR.

[alanbeasy]

I have a three screen cockpit with smaller monitors on the dash for instruments. MSFS needs to add an other slider adjustment for vertical height- in addition to the existing three. Horizontal roll offset and vertical roll offset are not sufficient to line up everything at the bezel while keeping the ground looking level on the left and right sides.

(I also had trouble entering the numbers in the boxes. The zero kept jumping in after the digit when I cleared everything and the decimal point also deleted itself if I cleared a decimal digit - so I would always have to enter the decimal again.... as well as making sure a zero did not insert itself.)

I am surprised MSFS did not just look at what XPlane has done and duplicate that.

UPDATE: As per Al Heeley's tip, I found that you can adjust the numbers very accurately using the mouse wheel. Hopefully though, they will eliminate the duplicate fields that appear in the control window for adjusting the extension views.... and hopefully they will eventually provide a means of lining up the cockpit independently to the environment.... because currently the environment can be lined up perfectly but the plane frame is not - and vice versa.

Did Microsoft finally added the functionality of FS2004 of undocking instrument panels ? Or is it still only 3D cockpit where you have to zoom in to the panels losing the aerial view ?

[dave-j-k]

Another great video! I'm struggling with VR on my G2 due to poor image quality (blurry displays, tiny sweet-spot) I only have a single 32" monitor - would I be better going for a larger (50") monitor or adding two more 32" monitors?
