Opening CDU's from the VC

[Greg Goodavish]

Are there any click spots in the VC to open the pop up  CDU's?  I know you can open them with key commands, but that always crashes FSX to desktop for me.  I need this function so I can load the cards.  Otherwise, I have to go to the 2D panel just to do that.  Thanks.

Please read the intro manual - there's a lot of valuable information in there that you're missing.

 

To answer your question, though, click on the screen of the CDU while in the VC and it will pop up.  Clicking on the screen of the 2D CDU will close it.

I thought it would be kind of obvious to do that any way!

I'm a tinkerer, honestly.  A lot of the time, I learn by messing around with things and clicking around.  Some people don't like doing that (mostly for fear of doing something wrong I guess).

 

In my years of help desk and teaching people things about computers I've come to the understanding that what some consider obvious is not obvious to all.

Are the clickspots only for the captain's CDU or will it do all 3?

Works for all three.

All three.  Same spots for each.

 

EDIT: Kevin beat me to it.

My issue is that I cannot move the CDUs around once they have popped up. I'm pretty sure that worked properly during my first couple test flights. Anyone else see this behavior?

Smaller frame to grab onto with those windows...it's there, just much thinner.

I am talking about MOVING the CDU, not SIZING the CDU. Thanks.

Yea, that's what I was talking about....moving them. I move them around when using FSCaptain's FCDU.
