Starting x-plane can be a problem on Linux when screens are not properly detected. (Like order of screens or sizes)
Below is a three-screen start script for Linux.
#!/bin/bash #Will start a three screen xplane session #Screen are @ 1920x1080 resolution numscreens=3 count=0 if [ -z $1 ] ; then ./X-Plane-x86_64 --monitor_bounds=0,0,1920,1080,1920,0,1920,1080,3840,0,1920,1080 while [ $count -lt $numscreens ]; do sleep 1 count=$( wmctrl -l | grep X-System | wc -l) done fi screencount=1 wmctrl -l | grep X-Syst |awk '{ print $1 }' | while read ; do wmctrl -i -r "$REPLY" -T "X-System_$screencount" let screencount=screencount+1 done wmctrl -r "X-System_1" -e 1,0,0,1920,1080 wmctrl -r "X-System_2" -e 1,1920,0,1920,1080 wmctrl -r "X-System_3" -e 1,3840,0,1920,1080
