Looks great.

[WBHoenig]

I want it!

[WBHoenig]

But wait, they charge $99 for the software? Or is that the price of the hardware and the software?

[runibl]

I'm definitely not paying that much just for the software.

[WBHoenig]

Ummm... That is just the software's price.





The CDU costs €899.
That's without the VAT, so even more in Europe.

Suddenly the software price sounds cheap. --Looking at my hurting wallet, tears running--

If I were to spend $1,075.69, I'd start saving up to buy components to build a new computer, not buy a 7" tall device that's jsut as easily simulated
for $70.

[runibl]

That's about 1/3 of a new good computer for me.

[WBHoenig]

I agree, but better than nothing

Looks pretty nice but it's way too expensive.

If you'd be spending that amount of money for just a FMC,.. consider getting your PPL at the local airport and fly the Cessna 172 SP!
as real as it gets :P

[FsP Dennis]

I mean this FMC there is in PMDG products is ok for me

[WBHoenig]

Somehow it can be simulated on screen for $35, but to put buttons on it, it's almost $1100! It's all driven by the simulated FMC anyway, so really
all it is is a nice TFT screen and some buttons and a USB connection to the computer!

[runibl]

I would rather buy a new computer for those money.
