Darkstar on triple monitors above NYC - distortion-free after MSFS SU10

I can't imagine how everyone else flies the Darkstar without either VR or triple monitors. However, the multi-monitor experience was horrible before Flight Sim Update 10. Thankfully, SU10 Beta finally fixed geometric distortions on multiple monitors. Now the two oval viewports of this scramjet finally became usable as I took the jet for a joyride between skyscrapers at New York City. And, yeah, I know I hadn’t even activated the scramjet engine(s). I couldn’t be bothered to learn the process. 

To fully appreciate this video, you will also want to watch the previous episode, "MSFS grew up to support multi-monitors after 2 years": https://youtu.be/B1WY8IpY_bo. 

To understand the ground-breaking change in SU10 (that is, only with respect to the previous sad state of non-support for multi monitors in MSFS, and not w.r.t. XPlane or other proper simulators), see my video from two years ago at https://youtu.be/vukjvo06DGs, and the article "Geometric distortion in a triple-monitor setup for MSFS 2020, compared to XPlane 11": https://xinhaidude.com/2020/08/22/geometric-distortion-in-a-triple-monitor-setup-for-msfs-2020-compared-to-xplane-11/.

See the official "Multi Monitor Support" thread in the "Sim Update 10 Beta" forum if you are interested in the Beta: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/multi-monitor-support/529211. If you want to set it multi-monitors, with the current SU 10 Beta, please watch Russ' great video: https://youtu.be/iK6pnS0F7gs.

I referred "that wall" that I cleared on takeoff. In fact, that's the Rikers Island Bridge. All bridges around NYC are rendered as walls at this time. Oh, well.

My hardware setup is simply what I settled on almost two years ago when msfs first came out. See details in video description of that video from two years ago: https://youtu.be/vukjvo06DGs... except I no longer run one big wide window and no longer have to hide the title bar using Windowed Borderless Gaming. Instead I just use SU10 Beta to create three full-screen windows.
