Multiple monitors

Has anyone tried setting up three monitors for SH five? If so how was the performance. I want to buy two more of the same monitor listed below.

MY SYSTEM SPECS

Processor: AMD FX-6300 Six core

RAM: 8.00

Graphics Card: AMD RX 580 8gig

Monitor: MSI 1920 x 1080 165hz 32"

PSU: 550 watts

If I click anywhere on my second monitor the game will close. I can still scroll on my second monitor though.

The only workaround to this is to make the game windowed with a lesser resolution, which I am not willing to do.

I don't think any of the Silent Hunter games are "multi-monitor" enabled, like some of the flight sims are. I used to run SH4 on one screen, and have "tools" on the other screen, but the "swapping" screens in Windows like that confuses the SH4 game engine, and then I ended up with strange glitches, like I was <Alt><Tab>ing out of the game, so I quit trying.

Understood. I would have like a 3 monitor view from the bridge!

Now if sh5 would be oculus rift compatible or headtracking compatible ey? But that is for now only IL2 and other die hard flightsim territory.
