As can be seen in my signature I have an old very mid range system.

But I can still run 4 screens including pop out G530 for AirManger and control with knobster.

The multi views are great, much more realistic than NVIDia Surround or similar. With side monitors angled the immersion is fantastic, much nicer than VR IMHO, it is nice to have functioning knobs and be able to run all the switches and dials on the controls.

I get much better frame rate than I do with similar setup in X-planes multi screen views. FS2020 is not quite as mature as X-plane version, but this is only BETA, so a fantastic start.

Here is an iPhone video showing how I use it:

 

 

Can you make also a separate window on the same or a separate screen showing a different view? E.g. external?

In other words, can I have the VC on the main screen and then a second window for external view now?

thx

Right now, if I have something on my second screen and I'm clicking on it and then come back to MSFS nothing works until I click on the main screen again. Is it different in SU10?

Yes in the beta you can run each "view" in window mode, so you can have multi views on a wide screen if you like.

I have my 3 top screens set as a single screen using NVIDIA surround. And have 3 windows from FS2020 and one from Navigraph and it runs great.

I have no idea if this is how final release will look and work.

Can you help me there a bit, please ...

I have now made a second window on one of my other screens. But the view is always the same as I have on the main screen. I can't set there another view ... e.g. main screen VC and second window external

thx

You still need to have FS2020 be the active screen to pan views etc. This has not changed.

But all the USB controllers work no matter what screen is active. This is also the same in BETA.

Air Manager controlled instruments on the touch screen or with USB Knobsters etc. work great as before as well.

I think this is a Windows OS limitation, only one "window" is active at a time.

You have to adjust the offsets.

Zoom is still not individual.

Below are my 2 extra windows settings.

There is no way to set external separate view, but when switching to external, all views go external. Just like X-plane.

It would also be nice to eliminate the aircraft from the views as you can in X-plane.

Hmmm.. or you can just go VR and save a ton of desk space and have a much better 3d view than having a dozen monitors!

The problem with VR is you can't really use switches dials and levers.

This feature of multi views is really for a pretty small group of users that build cockpits.

VR is great just different.

I updated my post, hope that answers your question.

great setup, welldone !!

I’m familiar with multi-monitors/windows in FSX, is this the same or different ?

VR is no good at all with external apps/hardware etc.

I want to know what voodoo is in effect to run three screens at that resolution smoothly!!
