Fergo Virtual CDU is a virtual Control Display Unit for MSFS' PMDG 737 aircraft series. It allows you to remote control the plane's Flight Management Computer (FMC) 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/iPad.

The software is available for purchase in the official website, specifically for this product:

Just a quick update on something I've been working on in the last couple of months.

I've designed and 3d printed throttle quadrant inspired on the Boeing 737 to use in Prepar3D/FSX/MSFS. The potentiometers connect to an Arduino Pro Micro, which register itself as a USB HID gaming controller, making it pretty easy to use inside the simulator.

The STL files for the 3D printed parts can be downloaded for free here:

You can check the throttle quadrant working inside P3D with the PMDG 737 in the video below:

During the past couple of weeks I've been working on a simple VOR and ADF "simulator", that I'm now releasing to the public for free. I initially started this project as something for myself, but then I thought it my be useful for other aviation enthusiasts as well, so I made it "prettier" and released to the public.

Here's a screenshot of it's main screen:

It's also worth noting that this shouldn't be consider a proper simulator for real flight training, as it doesn't simulate some characteristics such as radio ranges, cone of confusion, and so on. The wind is also very basically implemented. It's more of a tool to get a hang of how the instruments work.

I tried to make it as simple as possible to use. Also, please report any bug or inconsistency you may find. I've added a "Help" button that has a basic usage guide.
