Triple Screen Setup super difficult

[vvrjo]

When you go in the menus the camera switches from cockpit to outside view and the main screen gets blurred. But its almost impossible to set up tripple screen and change all the angles outside the cockpit and with the main screen blurred. In 2020 it was perfect, you still could see the cockpit in the menu and no blurred main screen. Please change that. Thx

Agreed.
Just used the same values i was using in MSFS 2020. Otherwise annoying…

[Twodogzz]

This is a tedious trial and error process that needs a better design.
Also, I don’t understand why this post isn’t in the bug report format, strange!

[RockinRowl]

Also - please give us a keybind to toggle extra displays on and off - I like to have them on for takeoff and landing but use them for other things during cruise, and going into settings to turn them on and off is clunky.

La configuration 3 écrans est très difficile pour 3 raisons :

• Lorsqu’on affiche la fenêtre de menu, on ne voit plus le tableau de bord de l’avion mais la vue d’un paysage qui se déplace lentement. On doit régler par de nombreux essais et erreurs. Impossible de se référer à une image fixe.
• De plus, il est impossible d’entrer des valeurs au dixième près pour affiner les réglages comme c’était possible avec FS2020
  Enfin, le simu ne garde pas toujours en mémoire les réglages péniblement effectués d’une fois à l’autre.

CM Translation: The 3-screen configuration is very difficult for 3 reasons:

When you display the menu window, you no longer see the aircraft’s dashboard but the view of a slowly moving landscape. We have to settle by a lot of trial and error. It is impossible to refer to a still image.
In addition, it is impossible to enter values to the nearest tenth to fine-tune the settings as was possible with FS2020
Finally, the simu does not always remember the painstakingly made adjustments from one time to the next.

I couldn’t even get them to work at all, nothing. Very disappointed.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

I spend days trying to setup three monitors and when I did get it set I had a max frame rate of 30 on average which was disappointing with 3 Dell 34" mostly this was putting quite a strain on my system with a 4090 and i9. I went back to one large screen instead.

[PHSepp796]

The setup can be a hassle but not impossible and yes i think it is better in msfs 2024 than msfs 2020 for the plane is more flexible texture display wise. (You can see this in the start up video when loading the sim where you see the instrument panel of the plane)

The thing is the cockpit setup is sphere wise which seems to make it difficult.
But also this makes it flexible

This is a good way to start 3 screen setup

Triple Monitor Setup Distorted Perspective

Have you setup tripple screen with default at 50 in general settings menu before you started to add the left and right view [20241126_142257] Instead of zoomed in to desired you want [20241126_142726] For this can make a huge difference in end result. I mean i have not perfected yet (read fine tuned) But no zoom distortion [20241125_152616] Also check this small video at eyepoint change what happens to perspective on the sim It is from my onedrive. And this took me less than 10 mi…

When it is set to what you like, you can zoom in now within perspective but when change your head than view may look out of sync,

Here i have setup 4 screens see pictures below from co pilot perspective

These are my settings for this

Now these settings may not fit your setup, but it is a start where you can tweak to fit to your screens.

Hope it shed some light on how to work with this

Ps to Asobo i would like to see that -180°/ 180° is accounted par screen and not to the total amount, because if you want more than 3 screens you run short on ° .

[SkyLane7277]

For me everything is blurred on one screen

[PHSepp796]

@SkyLane7277
Did you connect your screens like 1 desktop in windows?

[SkyLane7277]

Yes it’s replaced. Not duplicated. I’m running it from a laptop via both hdmi and thunderbolt I tried. 2020 works fine via hdmi.

[PHSepp796]

But did you select the option extended desktop
Then line them up in windows

[BombasticBuddha]

Holy crud he had a 40-90 TI and I-9 series and you could only get 30 frames per second max that’s insane.

[SkyLane7277]

I’ll check it later. Thank you.

[BASDBOI]

I am pretty sure I had everything setup optimally and when I realized the frame rates wouldn’t get better I returned those 3 34"monitors and just bought one 48’ works just fine now

[Airbumps2501]

Good to see feedback as logged. This is a pretty obvious issue - Its hard to line up screens when you can’t see the centre one because the settings page blanks it out… Please address this Asobo…

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
It is almost impossible correctly to set up a 3 monitor multi-window view.
After 2 new windows had been added and the windows properly arranged on the 3 monitors the main window contains a huge user interface with a blurred background.
Left monitor is 1
Middle (main) monitor is 2
Right monitor is 3

The content of the two side monitors (1 and 3) changes to some kind of moving external scenery. It should be the a static version of the content of the main monitor (2), for instance the ‘cockpit view’.
What’s worse the content of the main monitor (2) changes to a huge user interface with a blurred background. Monitor 2 is supposed to be the reference monitor for the two side monitors.
It should display whatever the user wants (cockpit view, or an external view, either aerial or on the ground).
I tried to use this panning external view to align the monitors, but it is impossible for at least two reasons:

1. The blurred background of the main display removes all references between the main and side monitors
2. The panning external view is in motion, so even if there was reference on the main monitor, due to the movement it is impossible to get accurate measurements (or even visual estimates) to align the side monitors to the main one.

I would prefer if there were a few test patterns with a grid, lines, circles, with reference point that can be used to align the two side monitors (1 and 3) to the main one (2).
Also, it would be nice if the zoom level was taken into account, so when the zoom level changes, the content of the two side monitors was recalculated and rendered correctly.
In my case I have three 43" 4K TVs. For lack of space in my room the two side monitors had to be under different angles. Monitor 1 is mounted to about 70 degrees and monitor 3 is 60 degrees from the main monitor. I think, since the settings are different for the two monitors, they can be individually adjusted.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
YES

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time the sim is running

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1. Settings → Advance Options
2. Add new render window
3. The new GUI show up. Replaces my cockpit view with a huge GUI and with a blurred background.
   The two side monitors also change content from my desired view (e.g. cockpit view) to a moving/panning external view.

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, when you try to allign the additional screens it happens exactly how Aviator2050X
has descriped it. This feature is totally useless unless it isn´t changed in the way we had it finaly in MSFS2020. It´s mysterious to me how any creator could come up with the idea to create a tool to allign cockpit screens by using kind of random and continuously panning external views. Strange and kind of ridiculous.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

• Yes, but with two monitors. No matter what resolution or settings, the second monitor is very stretched and blurry, I just cannot align it the way I want. I might have to change the actual settings of the monitor itself…
