Right CDU... benefits?

[DAL488 2]

Reading the manual, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the right CDU is ed... very cool!!However, after noticing that the route seemed to be exactly the same as the left CDU, and after seeing that both CDUs use the same gauge file, I began to wonder if they're really sepaprate CDUs.For the purpose of my question, let's assume they're not: what are the benefits of having two CDUs? I mean, what can I do in the sim to utilize both?Thanks,James

Do what I do, have one on PROG page, and one on CRZ or some other page. Really neat to have double the information at your finger-tips.

Hey Fred,Do you think PMDG will do what PM did with their FMC, have the display undockable like the EFIS displays so us cockpit builders can just have the display fullscreen. I have seen at a local electronics store a 5.5" B&W display for $130. Wouldn't mind using that for my FMC computer I'm building?Kind Regards,
