How cool is that. It works with the 777! And it works very good. Thanks AirNOTT and Flyingart, I purchased an 8" Android tablet purely for Simbox which was as expensive as one Winwing MCDU/FMS. It has the perfect screensize for showing these things.
Hi 👋🏻 Thank you for your video 🙏 MD-11 is planned of course, hopefully sooner than later. From my experience - iPad tablets are the best for SimBox. New ones of course. Everything should work great on Android, too. It’s just my personal opinion. Cheers 🫡
Not used Simbox, but I highly recommend "Airtrack NG" on an ipad for simulating 737 / Airbus. I use this on every flight, as you can run your ipad in split screen mode and have the 737 Artificial Horizon/ speed etc on the left, and the moving Navigation flight plan with all the waypoints on the right. You can switch on live traffic (you can even add the call signs) , and also terrain map over the flight leg plan, it looks fantastic. No need for other gadgets. The flight plan you can import from Simbrief. You also have MCP/ Radio displays. Developers are also very helpful . I am not in an way connected, but just want other MSFS fans to give it a try. Maybe you can review Airtrack NG too.
I own the Cockpit Simulator hardware 737 CDU and it’s great. I use it with all PMDG aircraft but if this application you reviewed would support inibuilds A300 or the TFDI MD-11, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I hope it will in the future. Great video, my friend.
Great looking product. I tend to mainly fly the FBW A32NX, and have used an old Android tablet for the FMC, which works really well, although I would like a tactile feel that a touchscreen can't provide. That said, if they provide support for the MD-11, I would probably buy it given it already supports the 777. Re using SimBox for other functions such as knob and dial controls, I have a Behringer X-Touch Mini that works really well and provides that tactile element. Once I get my hands on the MD-11 or 777, I'll see if there's a way to interrogate the sim variables to access via Axis-and-Ohs that can then control the X-Touch.
It is the only thing I would have done different on the 787. The 2 FMCs on the lower DU should have been touchscreens. If the screen is worn out, the airline can just replace it.
Yes, atleast in most cases. Some say they dont notice it, but not noticing it isnt meaning its not there… yes, popout windows will impact fps. There was/is a workaround tho, but its a bit unconvenient, you have to connect a second monitor to the mainboard hdmi/dp port and use the pop out window on that one monitor…
This is a good recommendation. I have been looking for something external to control my FMC/MCDU, since that probably the panel that I touch the most during a flight. Are you able to get a discount code for us from the developer?
Thanks for this, It is nice one license can do multiple aircraft. I have been using AviaServer on the PMDG 737 & 777. You do need a separate license for each aircraft though and from memory I think they are around $13. Works really well on my iPad mini 5th gen. For the Fenix I use the built in remote MCDU feature.
For now, I’m on an entry level 43” LG TV. Not ideal as it lacks variable refresh rate, but I really enjoy the size for my seating potision. And it looks great at 4K
That's looking quite fancy! I'm definitely going to be having a looksie into getting it! Cheers for bringing this to light.
I've been using SimBox with the Fenix and an iPad for quite a while and it works really well. I've never had an issue with it.
Why use SimBox when fenix already has the ability to use remote mcdu etc? Or am I mistaken?
@@jay-rus4437
He does already mention that in the video.
@@jay-rus4437 Because SimBox does more than provide the MCDU - lights, APU etc.
@@jay-rus4437 - Because Simbox was available before Block 2 Fenix, when the built-in remote MCDU was added.
Captain SIM for P3D had it from the store. Very nice feature
Seems like a great app, I'm impressed with how responsive it is! I do keep meaning to get a tablet for this..

Ah cool, yeah I keep thinking an 8” droid might be the play. Maybe a Lenovo M8
@@AirNOTT What a coincidence. That is exactly the one I purchased. It is a bit of a slow tablet but for only this kind of use. It works well
FYI: fbw has this feature built in and free of charge using their simbridge software
he said this like 3 times

The dev commented last night and said MD11 is in the works 🙂

Very cool app with alot of uses, and a very nice overivew of how to install and use. Thank you!
Really instructive, as usual.
Many thank you's.

Anytime, Barty! 🫡
I’d like to see Simbox make a template for the E-Jets CRJ also
This looks really good.
Too bad there's no A300-600 version out there. That's the plane I fly the most.
Yoo you should give us a list of your fav routes, i am really running out of ideas about good flight routes haha
Wonder if it’s less intensive on resources than using the FBW simbridge. Also, just found the channel, great stuff!
I use Axis and ohs software and fmc/cud on tablet.
I have this also - works like an absolute charm,
FBW already has tablet MCDU feature through Simbridge module.
So does Fenix through connecting the EFB to an external device.
Fps hits are to be noted with this due to opening a second window. Common MsFs issue.
That's prett nifty, but I think I'll wait for the hardware MCDU that I saw them demo at the sim conference, and it costs under 200 USD!
Ciao, hai un link? Dove posso trovarlo? Grazie
Hello, do you a link? Where can i find it?
I have a massive fps drop in my setup when opening a sub window from fs2020, so sadly not for me
This is really neat. I noticed the app supports radio manipulation. How seamless is radio tuning in the 737 with the app?
Is that comparable to WebFMC for X-Plane? Seems to have additional features, but not supporting that many X-Plane aircraft.
It’s strange, for me, the fmc/mcdu doesn’t even show as an option. Even in administrator mode. Says it’s disabled. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Can this be used on a touch screen monitor. I have 2-7” touch monitors that I use for the Longitude GTC’s. Can I drag to those.?
Steve job fan boi!
Quiet, you!
Does it impact performance?
Now I have a question, does this cause a hit to the FPS since you popped out the screen as with the G1000's
Yes, atleast in most cases. Some say they dont notice it, but not noticing it isnt meaning its not there… yes, popout windows will impact fps. There was/is a workaround tho, but its a bit unconvenient, you have to connect a second monitor to the mainboard hdmi/dp port and use the pop out window on that one monitor…

Commenting for the 2fa for the Live Stream win.
Can I use this on an iPhone?
Might have to check this out. Unrelated question but what make,model and size monitor are you using? How’s the performance?
For now, I’m on an entry level 43” LG TV. Not ideal as it lacks variable refresh rate, but I really enjoy the size for my seating potision. And it looks great at 4K
@@AirNOTT thanks for the reply. I’ve been looking at various 55” oled recommendations for gaming/msfs.
Nice! Also, it's Airbus MCDU and Boeing *CDU*, not "FMC".
fenix and fly by wire have built in features that let you use an external tablet already
Which he mentions in the video..
Yep, this was covered in the video
@@AirNOTT my bad somehow missed that
Said that in minute 3 of the video. Brah
Will it be compatible with the Xbox? Also when’s the release date?
Dont think so
@@Tutel21952 dang it
Could I use this on my android smartphone?
Andwhatnow?
I know this is off topic but landing competition (day 1, asking)
Day 2 asking
Seems like an AviaCDU with a lot of extra steps.
I was sold until I learned you need to pop out the window. It won't work with the lossless scaling app then I don't think.
Oh yeah maybe, I hadn’t considered that
Where i can buy mip 320 mcdu for 129,95 $ only?
Winwing, but I don’t think they’re out yet
@@AirNOTT As a matter of fact. You won't find anything on the product page and alternatives cost from around $800.
i think its nice but i dont will use itt
good vid btw
Oh wait this was only 32 mins ago lol
Hot off the press!
I can't recommend it. With FENIX and PMDG B777 this programme fires 8 - 10 FPS.
Too bad but I don't use it anymore
why would i do that? makes no sense.
Do what?
