I got a full rig for VR, and have yet to get it to operate without being choppy as hell. I’m a bit over it. I’ve always planned to get some flight controls (pedals, yoke, throttle etc), which makes it that much harder in VR to see what you are controlling if its a switch or knob, and that still leaves me trying to use all of that and then a mouse to try to set frequency control and so on. I’ve decided to go the route of monitors to give me my full cockpit.
So I’m considering two possibilities. A: Something like a 49" curved monitor: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1439971-REG/dell_u4919dw_49_super_wide.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwLKFBhDPARIsAPzPi-Idf2ltm7kCj-LWpCBiB_L_S77YE_d2YK8S5ucFCJJTxOPKj6BlbaUaAmLmEALw_wcB
or B: Doing a desktop mount 3 screen adjustable arm setup with 3 24-27" monitors.
My question is: Is there much of a performance difference between the two? Should I expect better real estate out of the 3 monitor solution, even with the separation in monitors from the frame, vs just doing the UXGA monitor? I like the idea of having a seamless screen, but at the same time, if I can’t see all the way around me without still having to use buttons on the keyboard to look left/right, it seems counter intuitive. I want to be able to see everything from cockpit view without having to use a keyboard to look left and right. It’s why I originally wanted to do the VR.
At present there is no multi-monitor support for FS2020 and the best you would achieve is a single viewport stretched over 3 monitors.
Timeline for true multi-monitor support is late 2021 or 2022 and that’s all we know for now.
I have seen some set ups where a large format monitor (actually the 65" lg oled cx) was used and it looked stunning so perhaps the larger monitor/TV option you mention might look pretty good.
Sigh… I just can’t get any happy answers 
All of the equipment I want is backordered like 5+ months too. Been looking for the Honeycomb Flight Yoke since December. Backordered everywhere, or buy it from the scavengers who bought a bunch to resell for profit at $500 each… Twice retail. May have to request a refund for it until they come out with a version that actually works for my purposes.
As someone who went all in on 3x27"(w/curve) I’m still torn, with other titles I can adjust two of the “wing” monitors in and out where I could not on a super wide but with a superwide I would not have two “posts” between the three and yet I rarely notice the posts.
As I’m about to turn the games on after a flight this is also my entertainment center and with separate monitors I can pop the NHL into separate windows more easily.
Oh and it isnt supported here yet as aforementioned in previous post.
do you have a mobile phone? probably then invest 10 bucks in smooth track and you got yourself a track ir on the cheap. then get a nice big monitor, doesnt have to be curved. and yty that out, you might like it , curved monitors cool I prfer to run fs2020 on my beamer I have a 5 metre wide wall I painted and primed for that, the curved monitors are not extremely curved, they are nice, but I like to run multimonitors not to stretch Fs2020, which nvidia physx does well, but to have my other fs apps running on a different screen, navigraph etc.
I use TrackIr so when I look at “stretched area” it’s not stretched because it’s now the center… if you follow that.
I also have a 4th monitor on my CPU-GPU to pop out things elsewhere and not part of nVidia Surround.

now that is class!!! in a way I prefer this to a curved monitor unless it was REALLY BIG and very expensive
Ironically, I was just looking at that part of the concept… I came across a concept like this:
A full Flight Cockpit emulation with physical pieces of hardware. I believe each individual gauge (unless purchased in a package) are $150 each. It seems kind of outdated to me, as most of those guages don’t require any physical interaction and are already available in the game. Is there a way to have a dedicated monitor that ALWAYS shows your standard gauges like Altimeter, Fuel, climb/fall guage and so on? There are quite a few guages we use as real pilots that require little to no actual physical interaction, but it seems a waste to spend $150 each, when a single $200 monitor could display them all!
Yea some of the 800$+ USD options are truly drool worthy
yes those logitech little instrument panels are a bit old school. here is my fsjunk project old carseat some old monitors which I will build into a housing, plus I love my airbus sidestick bellow, which I will also imbed in a side console, because the thrustmaster sidestick base irritated me so much, all that branding

So once again, as you show the additional monitors below, obviously those aren’t your flight window… Is there a way to customize MS FS or Xplane or one of the other Flight Sims so you can have a monitor dedicated for gauges and have all requested gauges there at all times? This way you can have your primary monitor displaying the outdoor only area, and all of your important gauges visible in your “gauge monitor”? I’m guessing I’m hoping for something that doesn’t exist since they don’t have multiple monitor support for FoV…
As I understand other sims yes, this one, maybe later
air manage 4 is aiming at that. Not sure if the beta version for fs2020 is still free, but its interesting for cockpit builders. Eventually we will see browser based networked instruments like skyElite (no frame rate hit) with your airbus pfds and NDS or other stuff.
no I have a hd projector beaming onto a wall 4 metres wide, I like to build things. I built an aircraft cabin with junk I found on the street about 15 years ago,
