As far as I understand WideFS, FlightGear can do all that already.
You can set up one copy to be a master, and any number of additional
copies to be slaves.  For each display channel you can specify view
offset direction and fov.  You can set up anything from a simple 3
monitor display system to some huge convoluted mess if you want to
gang up 20 machines.

I did something similar on an old agwagon sim I had access to once.
Fancy old joystick ... I write a little program that could read the
joystick and blast positions to flightgear via the net.  Seemed to
work ok.  Latency wasn't too bad.
