When updating Fergo Virtual CDU, please always do a fresh install (entirely delete the contents of the old folder and extract the newly downloded archive).
Description:
Fergo Virtual CDU is a virtual Control Display Unit for MSFS' PMDG 737 aircraft series (737-800, 737-700 and 737-600). It allows you to remote control the plane's Flight Management Computer (FMC) externally with soft-buttons and a 1:1 representation of the display in real time. Accessible through your regular web-browser, you can use it in a second monitor or any other device connected to your home network, such as a phone or tablet.
Main Features:
Web based client
The CDU interface is a web app that uses your regular browser, such as Firefox or Chrome. That means you can use it in your computer, phone, tablet or any other device connected to your home network and capable of web browsing.
Easy to use
Simply launch the server, navigate to the CDU interface with your browser and you are good to go. The software automatically connects to the game and sets up the client-server communication.
Non-intrusive
Fergo Virtual CDU is a standalone and portable software that requires no installation. Simply extract the contents of the compressed archive into a folder of choice.
Automatic configuration
FCDU will automatically configure the PMDG settings for data broadcast and add the required firewall rules for the client.
Off-line activation
User experience shouldn't be affected by clumsy on-line DRM. Fergo Virtual CDU uses a simple and off-line activation system.
Customizable
As the client is web based, you can customize images, fonts and colors by simply editing the HTML and CSS files (some web development knowledge recommended).

I'd like to give 5 stars but i'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get the fullscreen set up with the cdu on my android tablet. Any ideas anyone? Other than that great product.

Hello when can we expect version for a320 FBW
Gon476 23 day(s) ago
You have freeware simbridge to use your tablet or phone as FMC.

3 months passed and the open points in the roadmap are not yet worked off!

I recently bought the product, it works very well on my iPad but the response time is not as fast as FlyByWire's freeware Simbridge. I'd like to see if this can be updated.
JakobHermann
After many hours of use, only one thing should be changed: CDU should work faster. I have a new iPad which is super fast, and I have amazing internet at home, which is also super fast. (Before the producer will ask about my internet and my iPad, etc)
So, you should do something, that will make it all a bit faster. Cause once I choose some number on the CDU keyboard or whatever option, it takes 2-3sec till something happens.

Hello, i bought this addon, but its possible connect to A320 flybywire?
ctcp 2 month(s) ago
FBW gives you this for free via simconnect - there is tutorial on FBW discord how to get it to work easily and quickly.
JakobHermann
Very sad, that there is no ''full size'' on iPad...I mean like full screen....or do you guys have a full screen? I'm not too fond of these grey side straps on the left and right
Fergo Simworks 2 month(s) ago
You can get full screen by adding the webpage as a web app in the home screen. Regarding the sidebars, the aspect ratio of the CDU is different than the iPad screen, so you either have black bars on the side or stretch the CDU. Fergo CDU opted for the first option as it doesn't distort anything.
JakobHermann 2 month(s) ago
Thank you for your answer. 😊

I buy your product a couple of hours ago. The only thing I have to day: its AMAZING! You did a great job Mate !

Looks great, will it work on Amazon Fire Tablet 8? I think the Amazon Fire Tablet 8 runs OS in APK or Android. Yeah, hope so. Thanks Buddy
samiturk8
stuff like this should be open source
Azorian77
Does it support the A310?
rogerp
This CDU is awesome. Really adds to the immersion of flying, and quicker when I use it on my iPad. One issue I found though...if you are seeing question mark icons instead of certain symbols, then you probably have this setting on and it needs to be disabled: Control Panel > Region > Administrative tab > Change system locale button. Then uncheck Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support.

Love this add on!!!Can't do without it

Can this be used for the Fenix A320 or any other aircraft? If not, are you developing software for other aircraft?
Fergo Simworks 5 month(s) ago
At the moment it only supports PMDG 737. I have plans on supporting other aircraft in the future.
Regarding Fenix, I don't own it, but other people have commented that it has a built-in virtual CDU by default, that should be enabled on the EFB or something.
GRIFT2006
can this only be used on pdmg or can i use it on the fbw a32nx
mholden020 3 month(s) ago
The FBWA32NX has this built-in (for free) through a file in the Community folder

Hello,
if I press the CLR key for about 2 sec, the entire entry line should be deleted. But this does not work!
Surreal25
Could you please add an option to adjust the FMC on the First Officers side (Right FMC) instead of the left FMC? That would be great! Thank you.
Fergo Simworks 5 month(s) ago
This feature is currently being worked on. It has been a little more work than I anticipated, but in the next release this should be available 😉
Surreal25 4 month(s) ago
Thank you! Looking forward to it! Great product =)
PatrickWetta 26 day(s) ago
Will it be possible to visualize the 2 Cdus (Captain+First Officer) simultaneously and working independantly? It would be nice for configuring a full home cockpit.
Thank's in advance for your response.

Hello guys, again and for three times...how to make a update, i´m in the 1.0.821.8
RunwScissors
Very easy to setup and use, I was able to install and get working on my phone with very little of reading the manual. Just super easy process of getting everything going. Being able to do your flightplan and everything on a phone or tablet does make it quite fun, and really changes the feeling.
