February 8, 20251 yr After receiving my PFP today, I am really disappointed to learn of the incompatibility. The hardware is beautiful, but definitely not a great first purchase impression of WinWing. It appears that it simply needs a kay mapping file. As was said earlier, difficult to imagine that the three 737 sim variants have unique I/O interfaces... the differences in FMS functionality would be addressed in the PDMG code... We just need to map the keys to the corresponding functions in the game, and interpret the ASCII bytes being sent to the display... how hard could it be?

Maybe I'm not packaging it correctly. Edited February 11, 20251 yr by sectortll

If you have the Complete Edition of Spad.Next, the current beta has it working with all the PMDG aircraft. I think MobiFlight has it working as well but without the screen. Spad has the screen working as well.

I haven't tried to change the font as I'm fine with how it looks on the PFP 3N using Spad. I did read in the release notes that it is an option though. But from everything I've read, you can't run the SimAppPro at all while using Spad so I've completely uninstalled it. Edited February 18, 20251 yr by RandomShadow

Best place to look on the website or Discord? Willing to take the plunge into SPAD.next to get this thing working on the 737 and/or 739

Willing to take the plunge into SPAD.next to get this thing working on the 737 and/or 739 No, there is no written docs on how to set it up last time I checked. Their Discord server would be the best place for info though. If you've never used Spad before, there could be a huge learning curve so be prepared. That being said, once you purchase the Complete Edition you have to use the beta branch of the software to get the CDU/MCDU support. You then have to enable WinWing device support. You can find both the Beta branch and devices in settings. Finally, you should see the CDU in the list and from there, you'd click on the device in the Spad GUI and then the "Online Snippet" button to search for an aircraft profile that has been shared by the community. I don't recall which one I used but there were a few of them to choice from. Please note that I'm kind of simplifying the process a bit and going off memory. I'm not on my sim computer right now.

Thank you for the reply. I ended up just going for it last night and got a copy of the Complete Edition. Note for others: it is part of the BETA build and not available through the 14-day trial. I got it working by following the tutorial for another Boeing FMC they had a youtube tutorial for. The process was the same as you described. It worked flawlessly on a 3 hour flight with the PMDG 737-700. Impressive work.
