I have been looking for a CDU that comes with a display already. Can someone share this information on where to find such a jewel.Thanks!

Precision Flight Controls is the only company I know of that sells the entire unit:http://www.flypfc.com/fms%20panels/fms%20panels.htmlHowever, it doesn't really take too much effort to build your own VGA display into the one from Flight Deck Solutions. For a few days of learning and building, you could save yourself thousands...Ray Sotkiewiczwww.EllieSystems.comFor HardCore Sim Builders

http://www.737cockpit.com/I had their 737 cdu in my hand. It is very good. The lcd is connected ti the usb port , so no need of an extra pc/graphic card. The buttons are backlighted.737 and 747 available.regardsNorbert

Wow, that looks great ! Thanks for the info!!!!!!!

Hi Norbert,If the specs haven't changed, and based on their website, the PFC FMS does require a PC (it comes with one) - see the "computer specifications link". It is NOT USB plug and play, rather a "LAN element" and it seems to be based on Project Magenta software. In this respect it is identical with the Engravity one (http://www.737cockpit.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=70&phpshop=47d5f60aafcfe3daa68500d136daf107) and the FDS one (http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/prod_info.php?id=253)

Hi AlRead the above carefully. I was NOT talking about the PFC CDU. I was just linking to another manufacturer of a complete CDU. My link is to a Dutch company. (Its a laser engraving company with an owner that is a cockpitbuilder too, if I am weel informed).Offcourse that CDU has to be coupled to a PC. All I was saying that it only needed a USB port (soo no need of extra videocard). I think it needs a special version of the PM magenta cdu software, but am not quiet sure about that. If anybody is interested, just mail them.Norbert

It needs only one of the most recent updates of Project Magenta, not a special version, you only need to activate the cdu in the cdu.ini file.To add to that, PMDG is developing drivers for their 737 and 747 series.The engravity CDU IS plug and play. It comes fully assemled in a slim line case. No need for a tv out since data is fed to it through USB and its on board processor puts that on the industrial grade LCD.I have mine since last summer and im very happy with it.I use both the FDS cdu which i have added a PSone screen to myself and the Engravity (737cockpit.com) Plug & Play CDU, so i can quite nicely compare.Stefwww.boeing737ng.com
