The stitching effect comes from the fact, that side monitors do not touch the main (center) monitor but are a few cm to the sides and I take this into account when defining bezels in camera group setup. This way everything looks smooth when viewed while actually flying, but a screenshot looks like some parts were removed from the scene (which is in fact true, if one thinks how bezel widths affect camera views).

this is what i thought was done... especially since one can also see the stitching on the right side, too...
what i've done on my multi-monitor setup is ignore the bezel and leave the images all together... this makes for seamless screenshots and i just don't even pay attention to the bezels when i'm using something that crosses the monitor boundaries... this also allows me to not miss something that may be ""behind the bezel"" where i have to move the view to see it... sure, it would be better without the bezels but i don't feel comfortable, yet, disassembling my monitors and placing them in a custom self-built frame...

Same here... stuff on the FCU disappears if bezels hide things.

Hello,

Actually it is one screenshot, taken in FG using F3 key, from my three-monitor setup.

The stitching effect comes from the fact, that side monitors do not touch the main (center) monitor but are a few cm to the sides and I take this into account when defining bezels in camera group setup. This way everything looks smooth when viewed while actually flying, but a screenshot looks like some parts were removed from the scene (which is in fact true, if one thinks how bezel widths affect camera views).

The only changes to the original screenshot were:
- cropping to common height (center screen is 1080 pixel high, while side monitors are 1024 pixel high, so I had to crop to 1024),
- converting from PNG to JPG.

If you still have any doubts I can provide the original PNG.

Regards, Mariusz

Thank you for explanation! I also sometimes use a side monitor, so in some way understand what you are talking about (and only now descried that there are actually two seams on your image). Just wanted to make sure than no forbidden post-processing had been applied, so that any other participants wouldn't find it unfair. And now everything is all right: your screenshot is welcome to participate, no further proofs are needed!

Coming out of thick clouds on approach to SAWO Ushuaia Aeronaval, in my pressurized Cessna Centurion:

EDIT: Just realized I'm very late to the party as it's already the 21. - will my screenshot still be taken into the poll ?

You are welcome and your question was perfectly OK.
I took the liberty to upload the same image to a different server and updated my original post with new url.

@wkitty42, @merspieler: thank you for your comments. I will rethink my setup :-)
