Oh man, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get to the configure screen for the apex classic to add the virtual switches. Can someone explain it, possibly with pictures? The only config I can find will only allow me to rename it.

Although this is from a newer apex, the output icon should be accessed via the classic.

1st, click on the gear icon
2nd, click on outlet

Thank you for trying sadly my ui doesn't have the option here, mine looks like this. I found instructions online to configure the display to allow virtual outputs, but can't figure out how to get to that menu to configure the display.

I figured it out! I had to use my PC and get into it through http://apex, then I could add the virtual plugs!
A question for programming though.
I'm programming an acclimation plug, to turn off flow and lights. The issue is my lights default off so when the acclimation setting is turned off they stay off. How do I tell it to turn them back on when I turn off the acclimation switch?
