Multiple monitors and wide/high views

[56RAF_klem]

I am running three monitors side by side for panoramic effect and trying to add a central monitor below for cockpit instruments, all generated in game. This is easy to achieve in other sims (DCS, P3D) but I can't seem to find the settings for BoS.

 

Figure A in the attached graphic is my Windows setup. These are not set up as Nvidia surround (for good reasons I won't bore you with).

Figure B : I can persuade BoS to spread the view across the three monitors by hand editing startup.cfg as shown in B for desktop_centre = 1  through fullscreen = 0

Figure C : if I edit startup.cfg to read as shown with double height 2160, the image centre is anchored at the top middle monitor centre point instead of the top left of the image being anchored at the top left of the left hand screen as in figure B.

Figure D : if I edit startup,cfg to 1920 x 2160 and set desktop_centre = 0 I get the result shown which gives me my instruments but I don't have full width view above.

Figure E : if I set the full  5760 x 2160 and desktop_centre as 0 I get an offset view as shown.

 

Question: how do I get the 5720 x 2160 image aligned across the whole set of monitors as in Figure F?

 

I have played with all the values shown including desktop_centre = -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 as a shot in the dark but no good.

 

Does anyone have any ideas (or even the answer)?
