Man, that is ...Scary! Is that your setup?
How do you link that many monitors (and computers?) to run off of one program?
With "WIdeView". It lets you network as many computers as you'd like,
all running MS Flight Sim, and all moving in sync. Most use it to
give side images so that you can turn your head and look out the side
windows of the cockpit, giving a far more realistic experience to
flying a landing pattern.
Someone built a sim of an airliner, with cockpit _and_ several
passenger rows. They used WideView to run monitors placed outside the
passenger windows, thus giving a family-flight experience

The other program used a lot is WideFS, which allows other computers
access to MSFS variables. Grab an old cheap laptop with small screen
and tie it into the net as your Garmin avionics, for example.
These days, there's no reason a pilot can't use a cheap sim to pre-fly
a route and ILS to a srange airport.
