A Google search for CDU apps for an iPad took me to another site where this product got glowing references. Those brought me to here where I’ve been a member for over 20 years but never spotted your forum until today! 🤣

I attended a flight sim show in Blackpool way back in 2006 where my good friend Pete Dowson almost persuaded me to buy a CDU which was effectively a miniature computer in a box similar in size to the real 737 CDU. At approaching 700GBP I was very reluctant to part with that much money for a single aircraft.

Fast forward 18 years and we now have such an elegant alternative that achieves the same thing at a fraction of the cost assuming you use your tablet for other reasons. My iPad has paid for itself some time back with a digital license for my newspaper saving me a sizeable amount of money.

So once I’ve recovered from a cold I look forward to trying this out. I bought a stand for my iPad some time ago so it’s perfect for this utility.

Well done Mark for a brilliant idea well executed. 👏

Welcome to the party Ray 🤣

Just toi give that some context my first license purchase for this was in 2015 for the PMDG 777X. how times fly.
Seriously Ray I think it's a great addon I've got one for each of the aircraft I own from the FSX/P3D and now MSFS. 👍

Thanks for the warm words Ray and Brian 🙂

Enjoy your flights!

I have completed two flights now with this utility. Setup was straightforward with no issues.

The only aspect I had to search for was creating a shortcut on my Home Page on my iPad for the IP address so I didn’t need to load Safari first. Once that was done the interaction is seamless with no delay. And with the CDU visible all the time it proved more user-friendly than having to switch views with ChasePlane.

Plus the biggest advantage. Using fingers to enter data and not the mouse! 👏👍
