Just a quick note of the Flightdeck Solutions CDU i recieved, This piece is more than i expected very professionally made,great feel to the keys

It has a color VGA 800x600 LCD screen with outstanding contrast,excellent backlighting on the keyboard.

If you were thinking of a CDU purchase you cant do any better than this unless you went to boeing

and snagged one from them. Very easy setup for the NGX and software is included along with power

adaptor. You will need a VGA cable and a printer type USB cable. It's very nice beacuse you can just

set it on your desk and it has DZUS fasteners for a home sim install http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/prod_info.php?id=712

 

Here's a couple pics

Congratz with your addition to the sim. I'm sure it'll make the whole sim-experience much better. Have just ordered an FMC too, but from opencockpits. sort of is the same connectivity and functionality.

 

Just something that I saw from your photos as well: it has an amber-colored backlight for the buttons where the opencockpits FMC has white-colored ones. When I fly the PMDG NGX it has white-backlit keys too. So is that standard, or are there different variations in real life of the FMC's boeing provides?

Thanks Hans, I'm not sure either about the backlighting
