September 2, 201114 yr Hi,Im starting to think about getting a hardware FMC just to sit on my desk for NGX use.I was looking at the Flight Deck Solutions one but noticed that isn't totally compatible with the NGXDoes anyone know of any hardware FMCs that will work with the NGX without much programming/physical assembly? Thanks,Jackson

Thanks,Jackson I think the VRinsight CDU2 will work as it is currently using keyboard emulation/binds, whilst they wait for the SDK release. When that happens, much more hardware should be made available to work with the NGX.

September 2, 201114 yr Author Ok, I've decided on the VRInsight CDU. But, it requires an extra VGA outlet.My video card only has one outlet. My question is, what do I need to buy to get another VGA outlet? Thanks
September 2, 201114 yr Is there only one monitor connection on your graphics card ? Frederic Steiner.
September 2, 201114 yr Author Is there only one monitor connection on your graphics card ?yeah, only one, so do I need to get a brand new card?
September 2, 201114 yr yeah, only one, so do I need to get a brand new card?Yes or else buy a different CDU which only requires a USB connection. CP Flight are the best !I Know because I build Simulator Cockpits for a living. The FDS one is good too but won't work with the NGX.I have 2 of them in my home cockpit. Sorry about that !!I was thinking about the CPFlight MCP !!I don't think they do a CDU. Engravity do a very good CDU !!http://www.flyengravity.com/page/shop/7 Frederic Steiner.
September 2, 201114 yr Author Sorry about that !!I was thinking about the CPFlight MCP !!I don't think they do a CDU. Engravity do a very good CDU !!http://www.flyengrav...com/page/shop/7 Ok, so Im not losing my mind, thinking that I just couldnt find the thing.I'll take a look at the Engravity one.Thanks.
September 2, 201114 yr yeah, only one, so do I need to get a brand new card?IF your motherboard has a second PCI-E x16 slot, then you can pick up a dirt cheap graphics card for the CDU, i picked up an 8400GS for mine.

September 3, 201114 yr Author Ok, so I went a got a new card, just one question,Can I just use the new one for Windows/FSX and let the CDU have the older, pre-loaded one?
September 3, 201114 yr Ok, so I went a got a new card, just one question,Can I just use the new one for Windows/FSX and let the CDU have the older, pre-loaded one?Should not be a problem !You might have to check your Bios setup before windows loads to see which card is being used as the primary one.
