There's a widescreen setting in the FSX config as well that will allow you to go back further...

The problem you described sounds like a typical "vert-" artifact. The game keeps constant horizontal FOV and with your dual screen setup this means you get less vertical visibility because of the increased aspect ratio. There are only two thing that can combat this: increasing the horizontal FOV (which should automatically increase your vertical visibility as well) or moving the camera further away from the cockpit panel.

Both of these solutions have their limits. You cannot increase the horizontal FOV more than 180 degrees and you cannot move the camera behind your virtual seat.

You are right with your assumption, adding the third screen is going to make your vertical FOV even smaller if the game doesn't allow you to change FOV value.

is that a TrackIR and thrustmaster HOTAS joystick? if you have already burnt money on those, go the whole hog and get a triple head, I think you will find that games manage the 3 * resolution more easily than you would expect. save money on monitors by picking up some old CRTs on ebay

That's an older TrackIR and a CH Products throttle.
