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?

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 🫡

@707liner8 6 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

@lupo_aim 6 ай бұрын

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…

If only someone made a case for a popular tablet (e.g. iPad Air) with interchangeable "faceplates" for the 737/A320. Pressing on tactile buttons on the faceplate will cause a rubber dome at the back of the faceplate to touch the screen, registering a button press in the software.

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.
