Using iPad as CDU?

[XCLTM3 112]

Is this possible in the PMDG 777 presently?

Not from PMDG's end, but it is possible with certain 3rd party Appstore Applications.

I bought the iOS app "AirTrack" (pretty cool btw.!) couple years ago but I'm not sure if it works with 777. I didn't test it in months actually..

I use Splashtop that allows to move the CDU to my IPad. Works fine in the NGX - didn´t try it yet in the 777, but I presume will work also fine.

Before you buy any of those apps (there are several that do the same work) remember that they can only used the way you intend to when running FSX in windowed mode. The only IOS app that IMO works perfectly as an FMC in FSX is the VirtualCDU but only with the iFly 737 (in fs9 and fsx) and the PMDG 737. The developer seems open to take on new projects but I haven't received any response to my inquiries despite several mails.

You can use Air Display, works like an extra monitor, for control use config screen in windows.

Agree with KRISTER I have virtual CDU it's great, the developer is still around and will be doing a 777 one once he has the SDK I believe. Cheers Wayne.

It works perfectly with XDisplay on iPad.

 

You can use the App as a trial for 10 min.

I had a very poor experience with Air Display, there seems to be a bug in the software which doesn't allow it to be installed on certain configurations. I ended up getting a refund from the App store.

That looks very promising, and has some very good reviews.

Hi Alex,

 

thx for the info.

 

2 things:

 

1. I noticed in your screenshot that it is being used with the NGX, have you got it running with the 777 as yet?

 

2. Is it relatively simple/easy to install & connect up? (How did you get the CDU to display rather than any other feature of the flight deck?)

Hi Steve, In relation to (1) I am seeing that's a 777?

[CyrusMzRG 20]

Affirmative I think is a B777
