SimApp Pro with other external monitors?

[Hammer1-1]

Is there any way to utilize another monitor in SimApp Pro in lieu of a WinWing MIPS monitor? The only monitors I can select are the MIPS monitors and it sure would be nice to use SimApp to export a screen to my TEDAC.

You can start with the winwing monitors set up, then modify the wwtmonitor.lua file to match your setup (and save the file as a different name). 

Here's mine for the apache

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('mlua1');
Description = 'MODIFIED FROM WINWING CONFIG'

Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
        x = 0;
        y = 0;
        width = 3440;
        height = 1440;
        aspect = 2.388888888888889;
    }
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center
GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center

-- Both EUFDs on leftmost mfd
AH64_PLT_EUFD =
{
    x = 10;
    y = 1500;
    width = 740;
    height = 384;
}

AH64_CPG_EUFD =
{
    x = 10;
    y = 1900;
    width = 740;
    height = 384;
}
-- ends

LEFT_MFCD =
{
    x = 776;
    y = 1696;
    width = 752;
    height = 762;
}

--formerly just TEDAC
AH64_TEDAC =
{
    x = 1615;    --1544
    y = 1706;    --1696
    width = 615;  --740
    height = 770;  --760
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
    x = 2312;
    y = 1696;
    width = 752;
    height = 762;
}

The changes ie tedac in the above are from the patch in this thread which may or may not be of help

I heard somewhere that I could paste the tedac info on a winwing lua, Ive really no idea how to set it up though.

Assume that 2 is 3840x2160, and the other 3 are the winwing mips @768x1024. I want my TEDAC right there at 6 (or 3 if easier, and scooch the others down). Where would my X/Y coordinates be, and all I would really need to paste to the WWMonitor lua would be, but with the correct axis, right?

--formerly just TEDAC
AH64_TEDAC =
{
    x = 1615;    --1544
    y = 1706;    --1696
    width = 615;  --740
    height = 770;  --760
}

And I am assuming, but the AH64_TEDAC = is what calls up the image from DCS to be exported, right?

Well y would be 2160 + 256 assuming the top of the buttons is cutting off that part of the monitor. X will be at the end of your other 3 monitors so somewhere around 2300 like mine. (assuming it starts at 0 or thereabouts) You'll see I've done lots of little changes to each to get them just right. Notably the tedac at the default of 752 was far too wide so I had to shrink it right down although it now looks fine in game. 

E: winwings default is TEDAC but whatever magic the patch in the linked thread does uses AH64_TEDAC instead. As opposed to 

RIGHT_MFCD etc
