Simulator with 3-monitor support?

I, like others, are turned off by the limited view that most low-cost simulators have.

I'm interested in knowing simulators (PC-based) that support 3 monitors.
Since video cards with 3 outputs can run below $100, I would like to invest in
a good sim.

Of course, price is a factor - so something that runs $200 or less would be nice.
But any recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks,

Gary

Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane both support multi-monitor.

like to invest in a good sim.

What video card suitable for flight simulation and which supports three
monitors costs less than $100?

Of course, price is a factor - so something that runs $200 or
less would be nice.

Both MSFS and X-Plane are well below $200.

But any recommendations are appreciated!

I recommend that you should have posted this to rec.aviation.simulators.
This has nothing to do with rec.aviation.piloting.

Follow-ups have been set for your convenience.

You'll probably need to spend quite a bit more than $100 for a video
card that could run 3 monitors and a flight simulator at anywhere near a
decent frame rate and level of detail. (Sure you could do low detail
with a cheap video card, but if you're going to the effort of setting up
multi-monitors you're probably going to want something other than a
low-detail slideshow)

Thanks for your response.
I appreciate that you took the time to respond.

3-monitor cards can be had more easily than you think.
Who said anything about "new".
There are many second-hand locations, including Ebay, where you can get a good deal
on a pretty decent 3-monitor card.

In fact, although it's not below $100, I recently ordered a surplus Matrox 3-something card
that is fairly new, 3 monitor output plus an S-Video output for $119.
Not bad, eh?

Anyways - thanks for your response.
I'll have to look more into MS 2004 - it says multi-monitor support, but
it's not clear if it supports 3 and what can be displayed.
Sometimes it's non-3D kneeboard or other stuff.
I want 2 side scenery displays!
