Razbam's AV-8B Harrier Module allows you to toggle MFD Exports within the bindings. This essentially allows for "Dynamic" Exporting of MFDs for products such as the WinWing MFD, allowing you to use 1 MFD as multiple. I request that all aircraft have this feature as it allows proper use of the MFD Exports, especially given that Dynamically Exporting is not possible in the current version of DCS. Example Video (AV-8B Harrier Module): 3 in 1 Mode Working Example.mp4 Lua Edit: For those wanting to recreate this for their own WinWing MFDs, just edit the wwtMonitor.Lua to have both Monitors show. Then use 3 in 1 mode in WinWing App. Bind the Toggle to whichever button you want.

How to create a Displays Table, The information comes from one of the default monitor config files but that didn't really explain what it was actually for or how to use it. From what I understand: DCS creates a displays table each time you run it and uses your Windows "Main Display" as the origin (X=0, Y=0). DCS DOES NOT seem to accept negative values for viewports or exports. So if your second/third display is to the left, or above, your "Main Display", it didn't seem possible to export displays to those screens. We can however manually configure a "Displays table" in your monitor config file. That tells DCS where ALL your monitors are in reference to your Windows "Main Display" It will then create a new display area that covers all of your monitors and then: The left edge of all your displays will be x=0 and the top edge of all your displays will be y=0 So now there is no need for your main display to be the left and top most display. We can then use the monitor on the left, as all viewport and export positions will be positive. It seems from a bit of testing that monitors can be listed in any order and do not necessarily correspond to the numbers windows assigns your displays. As long as you define your monitors in reference to your "Main Display" The default display table created by DCS would result in something like: (2 is my main) and with the Display Table it would be or maybe you would prefer. This doesn't really solve a lot of issues, other than being able to export MFCD's etc to a monitor left, or above, your main display. Unfortunately, I don't think it will fix things like the opening position of the kneeboard and crew screens, George and Petrovich etc. and there are still areas of the resolution that there is no physical display to show anything output into those areas. Of course this means that your Center view and any exports will have to be modified to their new positions relative to the new x=0, y=0. I have put the displays table at the top of the monitor config file, and this seems to work. Example config file Exports by aircraft type.lua eg. Cheers Jon
