Is anyone using this new item? http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=prod_vri_cdu2I was curious as to whether it is worth the price? It seems very costly.John

It's not expensive at all if you compare it to the Engravity CDU

Andy;True, but the Engravity CDU doesn't work with the PMDG due to the drivers not being available. Can this be set up to run on a second machine when using Wide FS? I have a second tower that I could hook it to if that is a possibility.Thanks.John

Sorry I don't know, I've never used Wide FS and don't know anything about it, I've only just got enough space for one PC :(. You can ask VRinsight officially by emailing them.If you don't have a spare DVI/VGA port then it would probably be easier to get a cheap PCI graphics card of the same brand (ATI/Nvidia) as your main GPU and use the port on that, the FMS display doesn't have much of a hit on frame rates anyway.

I bought the CDU II and am having a lot of trouble getting it to work correctly. It refuses to work in full screen mode in FS2004 or FSX. I have had limited success getting it to work with the PMDG 747-400X. You can't seem to get the software CDU display to display correctly in the CDU hardware display. You basically see most of the software CDU's frame and buttons in the CDU II display. I have played with resolution settings in the FSX.CFG file, as well as the PMDG 747-400 Panel.CFG file. Nothing seems to work. The included software and documentation (poorly translated into English from Korean) are woefully inadequate. There is a pretty good review of the product at http://www.avionic-online.com/index.php?Mnu=vri_cduII . This review is in French and requires an online tranlator like the Google Toolbar Translator. It is a mostly favorable review, but the reviewer does communicate that this product could use a great deal of improvement in in regards to the software and documentation. He was using FSX in full screen mode with the Captain Sim 757-200. He applied extensive knowledge in the mechanics of FSX to get this product working as advertised, most of which was NOT addressed in the unit's manual.After hours of experimenting with this unit, I am considering returning it. VRInsight needs to step up to the plate and provide some significantly improved software and documentation to support this product. Additionally, the LCD display in the unit is not secured in the frame and keeps falling out. I contacted eDimenensional (local US vendor) about this and they cleared me to open the unit and reposition the display (sticker on back panel says warranty is voided if unit opened). I have opened the unit three times to reposition the display, even applying some tape to hold it in place. It is currently hanging in the frame by one piece of tape! There is clearly no attempt by the manufacturer to secure the LCD display in the frame.If anyone finds a way to make this unit work as advertised, please let me know at [email protected]. This product has great potential but misses the mark in its present form by miles!
