all intro and menu's will only show in the middle screen - its not until you got to race that it will use all your display... that said - you will need to set up the display to triplescreen/resolution etc in the in-game "display settings" tab.

When I start the game it runs all 3 on the middle monitor and it doesn't give me the option in the menus to select my triples resolution

They dont care about serious sim racing. So they dont support triple monitors. Literally the only sim ive ever found that doesnt. How wild is that lol

I run on triples - so they do support triple monitors.
been an age since I set them up - and I know they can be a bit tricky - so Im not sure where the OP's problem lies....really wish i could help as triples add something...

I have triple monitors and they appear when the game starts. I set the triple monitors up by using my graphics card. It is a AMD Radeon 6750 XT. I understand a NVIDIA card is harder to set up with multiple monitors

Well I have a 6750 and get the same outcome as the OP, I can choose triple screen but get no option other than 2560x1440.
Go on track and turn off triple screen it go's to one, Turn triple screen back on and all 3 are on the one screen, This is in full screen and borderless.
Also everytime I change something it just locks up, Was happy to give it a go but just can't be bothered with it anymore.

Not fixed in the latest update then?

You need to use surround with nvidia cards. Without surround it's complicated but possible (I used this guide https://framedsc.com/GeneralGuides/custom_dsr_resolutions.htm).

matriq is right this game runs fine with triples but you need to use surround.
I set it up to run without surround once using a custom resolution and borderless window and the performance was terrible. Just bite the bullet and use surround.

I use my triples for everyday computing too. Surround is terrible. I am not going to put $$$ in this game until they add proper triple screen support.

Why is surround terrible? I set mine up once and turn it on when I want to use it and turn it off when i don't. It's one checkbox and I get no issues on performance. DCS World supports triple and surround and I still use surround with it because I have to make my left most screen primary to not use surround.

You have a tool to make it work on the video card level. I wish every game on PC had the triple screen support that sim racing titles do. I'd play FPS in triple if they had the ability to adjust the camera angles for the side screens.

Just download this:

I am setup now that I just right click the desktop and select a profile and switch between surround triples, non surround triples, single centre monitor within a minute.

This is what worked for me personally with 3 monitors with the same sizes and resolutions. With Nvidia Surround turned on, open RaceRoom, go to graphic settings and change your ratio to 48:9. This will unlock other resolution options I choose 5760x1080. Afterwords start a race and it will show the desired way.

I had to put my aspect at 46.8 or 48.6
