FS2020 | Triple Screen SET UP and HOW TO GUIDE ! 

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 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!!

Thank you for this video! I found this video after a friend asked me to install and fly with them. I am using triple for sim racing and being this easy to setup triple in a game is amazing!

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!.

Another excellent video. You have a real talent for making technical stuff both easy to understand and entertaining. Thanks.

I learned so much from watching this video. Thank you for making it and sharing your setup with us!!!

Genius, easy n simple explained! Appreciate your work.

Thanks man, couldn't figure out how to do this intuitively until I watched your video. I used 92/-92 for both windows

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!!!!

To anyone wondering why your line of horizon drops down at an angle from the main monitor to the side monitor - this guy explains it. I get it now! Can't wait to put this in practice.

Thanks for the video. This significantly changes the experience, its not hard, but you're right, it'll take a lot of tweaks to get it the way you want. Thanks for the clear explanation!

Great video and explanation! Not sure when I'll be able to get a setup like this, but will definitely subscribe so I have your channel as a resource when I do make the jump. Thanks again!

Awesome video! Think I may switch back from VR to bigger monitors arranged similarly to your set up.

Thank you, Will be setting up my rig like this, answerd a few questions

That answered all my questions I had about the screen angles! Nice video as always. Thx!

Thank you. This video alone earned you a like and sub. Again, THANK YOU.

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.

Best video! You help me. Thanks.

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.

Great walkthrough

Hi again, very nice video, i got there in the end but could have used this a month ago ;)

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.

Thanks you so much

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.

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 👍

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!

I was looking for some tips for IL-2 Sturmovik on triples and found this. Now I want to install FS2020 again.

Very nice tutorial vid. Keep in mind that you also have to adjust the zoomlevel ….

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.

Great job

Thank You!

Great Video. I noticed you also have a wheelbase for simracing. Do you setup the screen in Surround?

I wonder if the rotation affects would help with projector setups?

Great video. Any ideas on how to remove the instrument panel from the main screen and keep the side views consistent?

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?

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!

Awesome setup, great content, and thorough explanation. All in all, a great channel. I was wondering, what type of screen are you using and how are they connected? Are you using gaming monitors or regular screen? And are you connecting using HDMI or DP?

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 ?

Great setup! If you had thr room can you go less than 72 percent on the angles?

I run triples for everything , but even with a 4080, 64GB DDR5 @ 5600MHz, Rhyzen 7800X3D @ 5.0 GHz I cannot get past how poor the performance is when using the experimental multi-monitor solution they have in place currently. I'm also impressed at how great it looks on your Rig with the settings dialed back so much. Impressive setup and you've done a great job configuring it!

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

This is very helpful. Do you have a video that shows your underlying support structure, for monitor mount, gear mount, etc? I've previously used standard-sized office tables for yoke, throttle, monitor, etc., but I'm to the point where I need to float my gear at a specific position to maintain my desired eye-line with the monitors. Also haven't chosen my floor-stands for the monitors (48").

maybe the vertical tilt is to simulate tail dragger aircraft great setup ! I am planning my first setup now and this was a good reference

Do you have to setup the multi window each time you launch msfs 2020?

thanks bro nice video , soon ill be adding the 3rd screen , your funny screaming 3080 🤣🤣🤣

Hello, thanks for your return. Could you tell us what tv have you chose and what are the good criteria to choose a tv for fs2020. Thanks for your help

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?

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 😊

The rotations are for smaller side screens when you don’t have 3 same sized screens. They are useless now as options because you also need individual zoom and eyepoint adjustments to make different sized screens line up.

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?

Hi. Great setup. But how did you hide the frame between two consecutive monitor?

How did you manage to make the smooth transition between the screens?

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

Your setup is amazing😍, and exactly what I want, seasoned with HDR (OLED). What is the size of your 3 screens?

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?

hey, what in between your screens that take some of the edge away? looks smooth

Hey thanks for the video. What type of connection do you use for the tv's? probably HDMI since TV's wont come with Display Ports. But do you have 3 HDMI out on your GPU? Bcz my 3090ti doesnt!

Triple screens on the shopping list, probably c3 42,inch

I think the point of the side screens turned to diagonals is to make the horizonal length of the screens longer along the sight line (at the expense of the corners being cut off

Great video. Can you do this with an XBOX Series S?

Great video and a great help...what are the screens you are using. do you have a link to them by any chance?

Excellent video. Being under MSFS 2020 with a 49 inch 4K screen, I want to switch to triple screen and therefore add 2 side screens. The problem is that it seems to necessary to have 3 strictly identical screens to make a correct adjustment under FS2020. I can't find 49 inch screens but only 50 inch ones now. Is this difference prohibitive to be able to make a correct adjustment of the overall image?

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.

Note: The distortion in video is due to camera location. When you sit in pilot seat there is very little distortion.

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.

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

My guess is that vertical rotation and roll isn't for display monitors, its for projectors

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!

Hi. I've seen the specs in your description and would just like to ask something about the graphics card and monitors please. Is the card the standard 3080 (10GB) or is it the TI with more memory. How many outputs does it have and what are they and what connections are on the screens, ie is it display port to HDMI; display port to display port. etc Would you consider doing a video on choice of screens - not the size but other factors that affect performance (I've read somewhere that some screens can have a latency that can make images lag and the specs of the monitors which look complicated when you read them are difficult to understand and can make a big difference). Kind regards

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.

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 ?

How do you have time for eating or sleeping with a setup like this?

God job! but, do you know how i get to export the external view in an other window (Projector), i dont know, and i have a home cockpit, but i try and dont get results.

Thanks again. One question -- I seem to have lost the ability to use the mouse to select panel switches, mags, yoke view, etc. Any suggestions?

Great Video !! Thank you QUESTION: why doesn't the view roll (left or right screen) when you roll the plan? My PC system had two screens, I bought a 3rd monitor to have the wrap around effect. VERY disappointed in MSFS to learn you can't configure a true right and left window view. When I roll the plane... (using the ailerons) the side windows do not show the view rolling. Is there some other configuration settings I'm missing? For example... If I roll the plane to the left, I expect to see SKY out my right window. I just keep seeing scenery. Any help you can provide would be very welcome. Thanks

Do all three monitors have to be the same size. I have two good 27" and would like to have a larger one in the middle...

Some windows aren't parallel with the ground, hence the rotation option.

If you use also dcs .....do you know if also It has the lateral offset correction?

what are the Monitor Models you are using right now?

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.

Great video again, my question is if you use 3 screens for out of plane views, how many monitors do I use for instruments? I see people use expensive setups and use the three monitors to see out the plane, what kind of setup do I use for all the instruments?

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?

Another amazing video setup like 99.9 of videos out there. 2000 years later still no answer to actually on how enabling 3 screens on games.

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?

Just come across your video, looking to change to triple monitors, can’t go 55 inches, looking at 32x3 can you advise on possible monitors? Thanks

I am just in the planning stages of building a home sim and I am trying to get my displays correct. Did I understand you correctly? Did you say your side displays were at 72 degrees from the front display? I have seen other C-172 sims set ups (on youtube) with the side displays at 90 degrees. I have some actual time in a C-172 and when looking out the side window, the wing appear pretty close to perpendicular to the fuselage. Wouldn't setting the displays at a 72 degree angle skew this appearance? One of the reasons I am concerned about this is setting up the displays at such angles would increase the width of the sim considerably.

My 3 monitors are at 60 degrees but I am having trouble to make the bezel free kit to align well

Hi, is Boeing or Airbus the same setup? Or on Xplane thx

i have one question to this... do i need a graphics card with 3 hdmi ports? or does this work with something like a triplehead2go setup ?

Sir is your screens a 4K tv or a actual 55 inch monitors. Thank you.

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 ive set up triple screens in experimental mode but on window 2 , I have a top border just showing window two and the normal minimise maximise and close how do i get rid of it any ideas, as i say its only on one of the screens all the others are border less- - Paul x

I'm only running three monitors at 32 inch each what would the settings be for that.

what gpu would you recommend..?4080 minimum...?

Hi sir thanks for video as I am buying 2 more monitor . But I have 2 queries 1. I have 1080 p monitor and if I buy two or same resolution . My aliasing settings will be same ? 2. I am cinematic video creator of MSFS . so if have 3monitor . How can I record using obs recorder . Please advise

I have only 1 hdmi output. Can I use a splitter or do I need 3 separate hdmi outputs

Hi. What a goldmine.... I have lots of room. I want to be able to fly with my son. Would you recommend to go for higher than 55 inch ... I was thinking at least 3x65... not sure if more is better

Can You do it ind farming

Hi, thanks for the video !! I was in the process of trying to set-up my 3 x 32" (slightly curved). Although I'd like to know if it's just for me, but the whole thing seems bugged, when I try to create new windows and then play with settings, it's like the game duplicates them in the options, without creating new ones. And of course, when I delete those unwanted new options, it deletes the real windows and the work is gone. This is driving me crazy...not to mention, windowed mode doesn't always work, and I can't move the 3rd window to the 3rd screen...did the last update completely f*cked the experimental thing ? Very frustrating start, I was so happy to find your video, and unless it's an operator problem, Microsoft disappointment strikes again. Take care !

Is it possible to include a fourth screen above the center screen and angled back to show the sky? Like for when you're flying an open cockpit airplane in a WW1 flight sim?
