- Hi Friends . We waited for triple screen support for 2 years . Now that it is finally here , people seem to have a lot of issues understanding how it works. I was one of those guys. Now that I have finally figured it out , I would like to share that knowledge with you guys . This guide will explain how the triple screen is setup by Microsoft. HINT : It is NOT LIKE OTHER SIM RACING TITLES !!!
Give it a watch , and as always , Please add your thoughts in the comments bellow.
PS if you're still reading this far and I hope you are, I have a special request in favor to ask all of you. If you watch my videos please take time to read through the comments. Many times I get questions that I try to answer, most of them I'm successful in some of them I'm not. I want you guys to read each other's questions and see if you can help each other out. Let's build a great community where we help and we enjoy with one another. Friendship and kindness above all !!
SETUP :

Another excellent video. You have a real talent for making technical stuff both easy to understand and entertaining. Thanks.
It is comments like these that give me the motivation to keep making videos. Thank you friend !
Thank you!! 👍
Where did you place your TrackIR 5 i believe you showed in another video? I'm having problems with mine trying to place it on such a big monitor. Help is appreciated.
@@spooledup8295 You might have me confused with somebody else. I don't use track IR. I'm in front of a huge triple screen that wraps all the way around me giving me 180° vision, which means I don't need to use tracker yard to turn the head in the game. I just turned my head in real life and look out the side windows
Hi dear...how are you? Let me ask you... How did you connect these 3tvs on One gpu? Did you use a cable with hdmi and Display port in the same cable? Thank you very much for attention. I love your vídeos... Congratulations.
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
Appreciate the golden nuggets of wisdom in your setup advice! Roll and Vertical Rotation settings are indeed crucial and seem to vary with the physical arrangement of one's monitors. With my 3x27 setup, the configurations differ slightly. And the tip about scaling down from 4k is pure gold-what a game-changer! Thanks for elevating our rig configurations!
I use "span displays with surround" setting in Nvidia (resolution corrected to 5920x1080 with triple screens of 27" so most of the video is useless for me
Rendering new windows makes my fps drop.
Sorry to hear that it's usless
Great video thank you, this is very informative. I have 3 42inch LG C2's powered by NVIDIA 4090. I'm going to call the LG C2's Monitors and the MSFS Windoes screens.
I'm coming from Sim Racing and MSFS 2020 was on sale because of 2024 coming out, I though trying my hand at Flight Sim.
I have the 3 monitors working thankfully to this video.
However I can only have my MSFS screens windowed.
If I set them to fullscreen, each MSFS window stretches across all three monitors. Do I need to turn off NVIDIA surround off?
How are you getting each window in full screen without them trying to take up all three monitors.
Thanks in advance.
Wonderful - what a great help! I've been using triples for racing game for years but couldn't figure out how to do it in MS Flight Sim. Thanks so much for the clear presentation!.
Glad it helped!
I wonder if the rotation affects would help with projector setups?
anyone here who uses both triple screens and VR ?
I am actually using VR Reverb 2 G - and thinking of building 3 screens
I wish somebody would make square screens again like a 40x40
Great video. I have everything except for the rig itself. I can not find the "perfect" one. So many pieces of trash, or good ones that are more for racing than flight. Seems like no one makes a good rig dedicated to flight.
I have a question how do I connect three hdmi 2.1 cables to my 3060 ti it only has one.
My guess is that vertical rotation and roll isn't for display monitors, its for projectors
I remember trying to set up triples in iRacing for the first time. I thought I was going to need a degree in math. I finally figured it out. But this video makes so much sense. I wish I had found it back then. Thank you so much for this!!
I learned so much from watching this video. Thank you for making it and sharing your setup with us!!!
hi sim simma, i recently just started setting up a triple setup! i have 3x 55" hisense u78km Televisions they are 4k 144hz with freesync and VRR and ALLM.
I have a question, my TVs are HDMI2.1 and my RTX 3090 is Display port 1.4.
what tvs do you use? how are they connected? are they DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 ?
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 UA-cam
@@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.
Triple screens on the shopping list, probably c3 42,inch
Very helpfull video. And great sim you've got there ! Really looking forward to having one like this one day, for the winter, when flying is not easy in the northern hemisphere. Great job !
Although, while recently fiddling with this MSFS feature, I thought a bit about how you understood it. And I'm not sure you are right about the lateral rotation offset parameter.
Because, if you draw a triple monitor setup from above, you'll find out that your point of view is always at the same angle from the center to a side screen, as your side screen angle from the center one. If your head is on the center of this "screens arc", these two angles will always be the same.
In fact, MSFS doesn't know the real life dimensions of one's screens, and therefore, its in game field of view doesn't match one's real life field of view. It only matches it when one actually sets up screens 90° apart from one another and sits right in the middle of them.
Which makes me think that MSFS approximately shows an image with a 90°-ish field of view (45° left + 45° right) for each screen, which is more or less what you can easily get IRL with your giant screens 👍🙂. But this is also why one has to get the lateral rotation offset parameter close to 90° (you got 88°), in order not to have an image gap between screens.
I remember that X-Plane allowed fiddling with the field of view when rendering a new window. You can do it in MSFS too, if you tune the zoom parameter in general graphic options. This is the only way (at the moment), to get the in game FOV, close to the real life FOV, whatever the size of one's screens.
That's it. Sorry for the geometrics lesson, I know it can be boring. But for those who are using less bigger screens than yours, it's important to know that they're not gonna set a lateral rotation offset parameter even close to their real life head angle from one screen to another. It will be close to 90° anyway, regardless of the angle or size of the screens.
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 !
How do you have time for eating or sleeping with a setup like this?
I would have made my tripple monitor stand wrong that I am currently working on if I miss this video, so thank you so much for making it!!!!
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 !!
Shame you cant shift the horizon like on iracing
Is this with NVIDIA Sorround or without?
My problem is, I don’t get the windows displayed only if I go to window mode and then it’s absolutely stretched
I’m about to end my project.. 🥺
@@the_original_wahligator You have to do it with Nvidia surround off. It doesn't work with it on. And when it's off the first time you add three windows they all open in the front TV or monitor. So then you have to go make them windowed versus full screen and you have to manually drag them to their position, left screen to the left and right to the right etc. Only then can you make them full screen again. It's so convoluted and stupid but don't give up. You'll make it
hello what type of tv do you use uhd lcd or oled? thx
Awesome video! Think I may switch back from VR to bigger monitors arranged similarly to your set up.
Good video. It would be nice if new windows could move sideways and up and down. I have 3 screens but they are not exactly next to each other. They are also not the same size. So it's very important to have more camera movements.
Hello, did you connect the screen with an HDMI splitter or to 3 different HDMI/USB/DP ports?
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.
thanks bro nice video , soon ill be adding the 3rd screen , your funny screaming 3080 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks friend ! Can't wait for you to enjoy 3 screens !!!
1 more. which outputs on your graphics card please?
all of them ! its a triple screen so you must use all the identical outputs . depending on your card , that is all hdmi or all DP
I literally got my triple screen setup working today. As a simmer using the near-study level WB Sim add-on for the Cessna 172, I am using FS2020 to build skills and knowledge ahead of embarking on my PPL. Three screens is a must-have for this, without doubt. I spent a few hours playing with the perspective settings and came to the same conclusions as yourself - that it's all about the eyeball position of the pilot. The only thing I am still struggling with is my right screen - I just can't quite get the perspective of the last few inches of the cockpit panel to align with the centre. Another point to mention, is the difference when choosing to centre oneself right in the middle of the cockpit as if there was only one yoke in dead centre. This kinda feels better overall but it isn't an accurate representation of the 172 cockpit layout. End of the day, if you're using FS2020 for flight training, small inaccuracies across 3 screens becomes almost unnoticeable. One last comment to make is despite copying your settings in FS2020 and in NVIDEA, my frame rates are not good and I am using a RTX 3060 ti. I will keep tinkering. Thanks so much for your content on triple screens - it has helped me loads.
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.
Heyyy man l have the 3 monitors but doesn't work see the windows but they stay in the center
You have to move them manually . Make sure they are in windowed mode , than grab the bar at the top and move them . Next time you start the game they should be there again
Genius, easy n simple explained! Appreciate your work.
Thank you friend !
Hey man i was wondering if it would work with a ps5 i havnt got a clear answer yet and would appreciate a reply great vid!
Sorry I'm a bit confused ? Flight simulator isn't available on PS5 . Sorry I don't understand what your asking .
Can You do it ind farming
Sir, I met a new problem, how can I have the sound of 3 TVs at the same time?v tkx
I don't allow the sound to come through the HDMI or DisplayPort. When you play on PC there's an audio out so you can use headphones or other speakers.. nobody that I know uses the actual audio from the TV's. There is a way to set it up in Windows sound settings so that the HDMI leaving from your PC's going to every TV becomes the main audio source. You might only be able to run one at a time instead of all three at the same time if you really choose so. I don't recommend that you do this
I have only 1 hdmi output. Can I use a splitter or do I need 3 separate hdmi outputs
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
So, should I turn off Nvidia's surround setup??
Absolutely positively !!! You can use it with Nvidia surround, but you have to keep each of the three windows in windowed mode. When you are in Nvidia, surround the computer assumes all three monitors are one monitor so as soon as you take one of the three Microsoft simulator windows and try to make it full screen, it will span across all three screens. I’m sure that if you have the set up and you’ve tried it you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Thank you, Will be setting up my rig like this, answerd a few questions
Very cool I'm glad. If you have any more questions go to my about page on UA-cam and join my discord I don't mind helping you out personally if it comes to that ! Good luck friend !
what are the Monitor Models you are using right now?
55inch Vizio m series 60hertz
Great video. Any ideas on how to remove the instrument panel from the main screen and keep the side views consistent?
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 : ua-cam.com/video/v0h2Ndtr420/v-deo.html
If I "Cheap out" and buy 50" tv's will that throw off all your math or does this apply to all sizes of tv's?
@@MRBIG-lg9zl tv size has no relation . Pixles of tvs is what matters
@@DaSimSimma Thanks, was looking at very affordable 50's 😀
Thanks for these awesome videos. Question, if I may: How did you get the scenery AND instrument panels to align so well? I fly the Horizon 787-9 with the default instrument panel and 3 monitor Volair Sim chassis, and if the horizon is straight across the 3 monitors, the flight deck structure and instrument panel on the right and left monitors are at absurd angles. You seem to have nailed in with your Airbus video. Thanks for any information. PS. Volair Sim monitor mounts are fixed at 25-30 degrees. I’ve watched Russ Barlow and still can’t get any results. Thanks!
For skme reason i only get to use one moniter but all 3 are plugged in??
All 3 work but there like separate computers almost
Best video! You help me. Thanks.
I'm so glad !
Is there a way to not have the plane offsettting to the side?
Sorry I don't understand . How do you mean offsetting to the side ?
How did you manage to make the smooth transition between the screens?
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
Eu adorei seu trabalho com as telas, incrível meu amigo.....eu vou iniciar o meu e te envio para vc ver ok, my name´s Bruno and i live in Brazil.
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
Your setup is amazing😍, and exactly what I want, seasoned with HDR (OLED). What is the size of your 3 screens?
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
Hi, Thanks for this great video.
A key alignment is also the front monitor position regard to the axis of Pilote/Yoke/PFD (or Artificial Horizon). I saw setups with the front monitor centered on the Pilote axis. But for I do not think that this is the gooe setup. Monitor should rather be shifted to the right so that Pilote/Yoke/PFD axix is pointing to the lefs part of the front screen.
Question is how to determine the best shift of the front screen ?
THanks again for your super totorial.
Thank you. This video alone earned you a like and sub. Again, THANK YOU.
Wow those triple screens are amazing!! I'm thinking about it at some point. I have a rtx 3070 with a 27" monitor now, want to add 2 more 27's would that work?
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.
Beautiful setup! But how does it relate to when you are panning up or down with the controller or POV hat/switch? When I pan, look down or up, with the controller or the HAT/switch on the yoke, the image on the side screens are rotating upwards... Is it possible at all to pan vertically without the extra screens rotating? Is it thats why it is called experimental? Very grateful for a reply from someone who knows!
What Screens are you using?
Vizio m series 55inch
What’s the corner screen fillers?

Hello and thanks for your informative video my friend. If you were to start again and you could choose, would you go for 55 or 65 inch screens ? kind regards David
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
3x27" user: I have to use vertical offset to align my horizon. Somehow 0 does not work properly.
and just using the x axis with my TrackIR (if I even bother using it)
and seeing Afterburner or FrameView FPS counter not showing the right FPS on my outer screens with FrameGeneration. Anybody notice that?
Great vid! Will try 72° and eye level at 50% screen hight. Thx!
What pc you use on this fs2020?
My details are in the description bellow the video , just scroll past the lengthy description ;).. Also , on my UA-cam home page you can see my whole setup
Great informative video 👍.
Do I have to set a window for each of the 3 screens I'll be using?
How do I get the yoke on the simulator to line up to the middle of my screen as it seems to be offset to one side?
Thanks 👍
Do you have to setup the multi window each time you launch msfs 2020?
If you could do it all over again today, how would you set up your 3 screen sim? What monitor and what G-card ?
4090 for sure or hold out for the 50 series hopefully in 2025...and... I would definitely pick oled screens no matter the cost. But, this is not a what If, this is what's going to happen...stay tuned ...lol
And I would go 65 inch but not bigger !
can anyone tell me, what kind tape for camuflate side monitor with another monitor
It is called the Asus bezel-free kit. Type that in my channel or on UA-cam and you'll find many videos and where to purchase
@@DaSimSimma ah thank youu , finally i know that things
Hi Awesome vid. I dont have a lot of room 4-5ft wide foot wide only got the one screen at the moment, thats a 43 in. and need get two more, the actual size of cockpit will be roughly same width across as real 172 would that be to narrow,? also I need I think upgrade my computer as not powerful I dont think to run 3 monitors. dont want to be using curved screen projector set up.is it best to use 3 screens same size and same make ?
Can you use this setup on Xbox s or x
You cannot. You need to plug in 3 monitors the XBox doesn't have the capability
I only discovered this feature in MSFS yesterday after getting back into flight sims, i have 4 monitors and setting them all up was easy as hell. The biggest issue i have now is being annoyed that this isn't a feature in all games. I don't know the technology behind it but is it really that hard to do? I can't for the life of me understand how on earth you would put time and effort into a sim game and not implement this feature. I'd love to know why Multiview isn't just a piece of software that works in any game and why Nvidia with all their technology give us crap like Nvidia Surround.
Your set up is great, you done a really good job!. I'm trying to build a similar cockpit (to use with MSFS2024 as it becomes available) with 3 screens, maybe 40" 43" QHD, my PC is Ryzen 7 7800 X3D - VGA RTX 4080 S. I'm not an expert, and I don't know if my VGA can support such screens without slowing the simulator or get overheated. Do you have any advice ? I appreciate a lot, thank you!
At the time of making this video I was running a 3080 so I think you should have no concerns. Please remember that any graphics card that you buy has safety features in place and settings for the fans to kick on and if it ever gets overheated, it will absolutely shut down the PC to save itself. So she should have no concerns. Another big misconception is the bigger the TVs, the more the graphics card has to work. Which couldn't be further from the truth. I have a 13-ft projector in my basement that doesn't take any more power to play games on than a 28-in screen. It's all about resolution. I know you didn't ask about that portion but I wanted to put that out there because there's so much misnowledge spreading around
@@DaSimSimma Hi Bro, thank you for your reply! Happy to hear that VGA have a some kind of self- protection, I'm a novice. My desire is to buy 3 X 43" 4K screens, scaling the resolution settings to 1440 as you have done...hoping to mantain a decent FPS. I wouldn’t want to throw away the money and i want to be sure first, I said 43" and not 55" because I think "a bit smaller a bit better image resolution" maybe I'm wrong?😅
@AlessandroAtzori-vv2je there could be an argument where 4K meaning something like 12 million pixels can look better on a small screen than 12 million pixel on a 80-in screen. We can all assume and extrapolate that the pixels are bigger since there's the same amount of pixels on a small end or a big screen. I know that for sure because on my projector which can project in 4k at 13 ft. Across my wall when I get up close I can actually really literally see the pixels. So I guess all that to say you are correct. A smaller screen might look more densely packed with pixels. Therefore, look like them more defined accurate image. But all that said, what the heck do I know? I'm just a guy who likes to play games just like you hahahha
@@DaSimSimma 😄🥸
Vertical rotation and roll rotation help a lot when your desks / mounts are not perfect.
Can you run it on 720p tv?
I'm not sure . But you can definitely try ! The game can lower the resolution and a TV can receive a TV signal from a HDMI cable. So I'm assuming you can
I have a triple screen set up and followed your video but seem to have an issue. I’m running triple 1440 27’ but in graphics I can only select 2560x1440 so when I add an extra monitor it sits behind the main one and I can’t move it to the side monitors. Any ideas?
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!!!
Hallo wie heißen die Teile wo man die Ränder verstecken kann
here you go my friend ! ua-cam.com/video/Kn_uxY9N-Hk/v-deo.html
Great VID, love the setup. You mentioned you weren't sure why some people would angle the side monitors the way they did. Maybe I can shed some light on that. I'm what you could call a lazy gamer. I don't sit in a regular gaming chair that is upright. I usually sit in my recliner and have my controls moved where I need them so I can be comfortable. The main reason I angle mine is because I'll be at an angle from reclining so they will have to be adjusted to the focal points a little different than if I were to sit upright and straight.
I was looking for some tips for IL-2 Sturmovik on triples and found this. Now I want to install FS2020 again.
So I want this for iRacing but how does this translate to racing titles? iRacing for example if you have experience
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"
@@DaSimSimma yassssss
Note: The distortion in video is due to camera location. When you sit in pilot seat there is very little distortion.
Thanks man, couldn't figure out how to do this intuitively until I watched your video. I used 92/-92 for both windows
How many HZ are TVs?
60hz. I have a 3080 so it is difficult to do more than 60fps on three 4k monitors
Curious, do the head tracking setups work with triples? Anyone here tried it? Thanks
They do and I've tried it using a camera and head tracking software .I forget the name ....it works pretty good but I doesn't make sense truthfully. The reason to get 3 screens is to be able to see all around the cabin. The only time it made sense is when I needed to look down at Instruments. That kinda broke the immersion for me . That's why I built an actual fright panel with extra controls and to be able to display instruments . The short of it : yes it does work ;)
@@DaSimSimma thanks, I wondered how beneficial it would be. I set up triples, but got worse fps than with my Reverb G2, which surprised me. I didn't spend time turning settings down. Your tutorial here helped a lot
@punkish7 I'm sorry to hear that but it's an absolute fact. The frame rates are disaster. :( I sometimes turn off my side screens just to see what the game would be like at full power and it looks amazing. Of course I don't play it like that because I feel like I've wasted all my money on the triple screen so what I do is I shut down the whole damn thing and I move on to other games like truck simulator and racing hahahhahaha
i do not have expiramental menu why?
Two reasons...you have not upgraded the game in a while or you are on... Xbox ....?
@@DaSimSimma i am on PC .Can you please tell me what update you have and you have expiramental menu?
How did you made monitor's corners ?
Asus bezel free kit. Search that on my channel and you will see a video explaining

why gloves?
Because I wasn't a huge motorcycle accident my hands and fingers all messed up screwed together with plates and I'm really embarrassed . there I said it....you asked ...lol is it stupid? yes do I care no don't want to continue being stupid ?yes hahahaha have a great day bud
Every time I go fly or back to main menu, switching in or out of VR, side views turn back into window mode and snap back to the main screen, that means I have to set them up again (though a lot easier than first time). Anyone know a solution to this madness? How to set it up so that the side views stay in place?
I would love to use my Oculus Rift S but it looks terrible and has like this waterfall look across the cock pit and flickers...I gave up and just go 2D
Trying to set up triple screen now. When I go to general options I don't have "experimental" tab. Mine starts at camera, sound, traffic, data, flight model, Misc, and accessibility. That's all. Thoughts?
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
Great video! It helps me a lot. Which tv screens do you use? I can’t see any black frames around them. Looks like there is none between the screens. How did you do that?
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
Excellent video, thank you very much for your time
In your configuration you place your screens at 72º,
Why didn't you place them at 90º?
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 !
Some windows aren't parallel with the ground, hence the rotation option.
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?
HI and Thanks for your videos, very helpful info. Just wondering if you know if you can render 5 screens in MSFS 2020. Thanks Kevin
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 )
May I ask have you tried using DLSS frame generation on this triple screen setup? I wonder if FG only works on the center monitor
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
When you have multiple monitors and you bring up a new aircraft, you have to reconfigure the left and right window to align with the center window. I would think that flight Simulator should be able remember each rendering window for each aircraft. Am I missing anything?
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
Wouldn't Vertical rotation offset (or a combo of vertical + roll) help with what I like to call the "waterfall" effect that you talked about at 3:20 (when you sit too high/low)? As an avid sim racer I'm also well aware of the importance of getting your eyeline at screen center...for older sims (AMS1, AC). For most modern sims with good triple support, you have the option of adjusting where your eyeline is, so you won't get that warped waterfall effect on the side monitors (iRacing, Raceroom and a couple others all have settings to account for this)...I think it's called Horizon offset in iRacing. I drive mostly modern F1 type cars and have positioned my rig to have that kind of layout (reclined seating position, wheel positioned high), so my eyeline is very low relative to the center of the monitor.
I've been trying to decide whether to buy MSFS for years now, I tried it briefly when it first released and they didn't have multiple rendering then, so I said I'm not paying for it until it does. MSFS is on sale now for a week so now I'm reconsidering, but if there's no way to compensate for a horizon mismatch then I might have to skip it again, as I barely do any flying compared to racing.
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
For some reason when I push add new render window it just makes a second page and when I click on it it covers the first page. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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

You simply CANNOT. SORRY I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHY MOST OF US MOVED TO PC GAMING
@@DaSimSimma okay what is rtx 2060 can run triple monitor
Hey bud, new subscriber here. I normally do NOT comment on videos but I felt I have to say great video man. Your bass shaker video and this video helped so much. Do you have a sim hub profile video? I tried searching your channel but couldn’t find one. Again, great content and Thank you in advance.
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 ?
First thanks for the video, second since you have 3 55” monitors you require 5 bezel free kits to get rid of all the monitor bezels?
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 UA-cam review. I love his stuff and it's so affordable. So much more affordable than buying the Asus bezel free kit!
It works also in Windowed mode or only in full screen?
Becouse i Need to see some app open ....like vatspy...or Chrome
It works in windowed and Fullscreen but not in Nvidia surround the only way it works in Nvidia surround mode is windowed mode
@@DaSimSimma what Is Nvidia surround?
Hello looks so easy when watching but can’t manage to it properly working when I tried. I understand how to get proper fov setup angles but can’t manage lateral screens zoom or move to match center one. Do I misse something ?
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.
Great Video. I noticed you also have a wheelbase for simracing. Do you setup the screen in Surround?
Yessir ! Most simracing games require surround than they support true triple projections from within the game menu . I play racing and truck sim
That answered all my questions I had about the screen angles! Nice video as always. Thx!
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 !

Hi again, very nice video, i got there in the end but could have used this a month ago ;)
Great video! Is there a way to separate the outside view from the cockpit instruments and dasboard. This because I want to build a real cockpit with windows wich only shows the outside world without instruments. Thanks in advance 😊
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
What resolution do you have your screens set in windows display settings for this? Same as in game ?
All of my settings are in this video at the end . I always share my Nvidia and fs setting
I lied I think...wow...my apologies. My resolution is set at triple 4k ...I think that 11520x 2160

@@lukassam985 do not run Nvidia surround or AMD Eyfinity equivalent ( that where the screens are stitched together as one ultra wide ". Just do 3 separate monitors at 4 k each ...then : floor this video for in-game settings . Key is NO SURROUND VIEW / SEPARATE MONITORS
Make perfect scenes, do you play DCS if so does it add up to the monitors being it more of an angle than my three. Mine has never felt right to me.
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!
