Dual monitor questions.

[F18mech]

New to Dcs and just setting up gear. If you have two monitors side by side do they project the same picture as a larger screen? And if so would the borders of each monitor become a hindrance on some functions within the operations of the cockpit?  I have a samsung 27 inch odyssey curved monitor and considering adding an additional vice the 49 inch upgrade.  Thoughts and opinions are welcome...

I tried two monitors and didn’t like it. The dead zone between the monitors made flying difficult at best. I went to a large monitor as my main screen and used one of my 27 inch monitors to serve as a information monitor. Works well, while flying I can have Chuck’s guide up on the other monitor.

For 2 monitors, i would not suggest a 3960x1080 view. Your monitor bezel will be right down the middle of your HUD, which is kind of important. There are screen options in DCS that you can set one monitor to your view and 2nd to an MFD. Otherwise I would just use the 2nd monitor as information. 

 

I run 3 monitors @ 5760x1080 and use it as a single screen (option in DCS) and a head tracker. Here is a screenshot of my view in game.

Showoff.  

 

Yes.  I'm jealous.
