Hi, all you MSFS 3 window flyers 
I am currently awaiting delivery of 2 monitors from Newegg to add to my primary display and a question struck me - how (can you?) to change views from cockpit to external, and pan around, look up/down said views with multiple monitors (left, center, right) being “in sync”. It may be a “duh”, but I’m not familiar with this at all. Thanks, Mike
It depends on how you want it setup in the first, 2ndly it depends which aircraft you want to use
Fot most cockpit wont allow to go outside the cockpit unless you edit there own camera cfg and set
Up view outside cockpit while with translate can move you around the plane
So think how you setup screen and then experiment with the second point but keep in mind backup the file you want to edit before you edit
Hey Mike be prepared to go down the rabbit hole with this topic LOL…
So I just started playing around with Fly Elise-ng’s mapping products to try to get my triple monitor setup functioning correctly with no fisheye/distortion, correct horizon lines across the monitors, and “in sync” views. They have years of experience with projection mapping for larger scale sim cockpit setups, but released a product specifically for LCDs (albeit, still experimental) to try to get the current Asobo multi-window functionality closer to real life.
Not going to lie it’s been days worth of work up to this point to try to set things up and dial it in, with mixed results, as I’m not sure if what I’m seeing is the intended result, because their documentation isn’t as thorough as it could be and there are no current videos or detailed instructions anywhere else to be found online.
I’m taking lots of screenshots and documenting the processes I’m experimenting with, and intend to reach out to their support team to see if I can get feedback/confirmation on the correct methods involved so we’ll see what they say when I finally fire everything off to them. Depending on their response and if I can get things working I was planning to start a thread on the topic with all the steps and configurations necessary to get this up and running.
Where I have succeeded for sure is getting rid of the “surround” based outer edge distortion, so that when I look left and right now, objects are the correct true to life size which is awesome, but I’m still having issues with the horizon lines and views not seeming correct when adjusting view with pitch or in freelook.
Per the OP, this is even worse in external camera so this is not a fix for that issue quite yet. It could be something simple or user error, but if I follow their guide step by step, the data exported puts all my windows and views in the wrong direction and on the wrong monitors, and simply switching the views to the correct monitors still doesn’t fix everything.
Here are links to everything I’ve read and watched up to this point…
You need to read the normal step by step guide first before you try the MSFS step by step guide or things won’t make sense. You may also need to open the Immersive Calibration Pro guide as well for reference. I recommend trying their exact steps in the Display/LCD Pro guides, including their measurements (monitor size etc), on your own system just to see if the exported data and config info will in fact display everything in the right places. Then I’d go back and attempt to do everything with your own data (lcd panel size, monitor angles, bezels etc).
This guy at Alpa has some good instructional videos on setting up projectors on a curved screen, so not for LCDs, but his explanations of the software and setup are solid, and helpful to understand how this sofware works. Just look for any of his videos that talk about Fly Elise.
Outdated by 5 years, but Mats’ videos at least show step by step, how to use the software. I’ve used this more for reference/familiarity since I’m pretty certain you don’t need to use Calibration Pro for the LCD side of things, unless I’m mistaken.
All their software has a 30 day full function trial so I’m putting in the hours to see if it will in fact provide the solution I think we’re all looking for. If it works, I’ll gladly pay for a license, and if I ever upgrade to projection instead of triple monitors, I know this solution will work for sure. Cheers, J

Thanks for the replies! Makes and ultrawide sound better all the time, haha. We’ll see how it goes. mike
To be honest it’s a waist of time. It’s not like XP were you can adjust each individual view separately and zoom each view separately. Until they get that fixed it’s not worth it.
