3x 1920x1200 - how?

[bumblebomb]

3 27" monitors, when I sit 1m away they all face me, so the outer screens are some 15° angled. In 1 Screen 5760x1200 the outer edges are distorted, and in 3 Screen I fight to get DCS to display the single cameras on the proper display.

 

My monitors show in windows as  | 2 || 3 || 1  |  - will this work at all or do I need to replug until I have proper | 1 || 2 || 3 |  ?

 

I can switch primary with NirSoft MultiMonitorTools with a mouseclick on a batch file, no big issue, though I think DCS should be able to handle this in 2021. 

 

Below the config I tried. I started off someone else's Fly-Elise generated file and modded the screen values to match my monitors.

Still, even what I can see the cameras looking to the sides are distorted. I commented out the "use" parameters as they don't seem to do anything at all.

No need to re-plug, Windows lets you re-order the monitors to match their physical location with respect each other:

That's fine, I got one desktop from left to right, what I meant is: when I click "identify", they are 2 3 1, not 1 2 3. But Somehow that worked the other day, I'll tinker that some more.
