    Folks, I'm happy to announce my official collaboration with QualityWings! The next version of Remote Server will support the QW 787 lower MFD/MFK (basically the "MCDU" keypad including the screen and touch-screen). For the first time, you'll not only be able to remote control the FMS but also replicate the MFD with all it's functionality on your mobile device. Yes - you can display the ND or any other display option you have within the virtual cockpit of the lower MFD! Oh and by the way, the QW 787 EFB will also be supported! So if you have already purchased the EFB license for PMDG's 747-8, it will also be valid for the QW787 EFB. The implementation o…

    I assume that in order to upgrade to 5.1 from 5.0 that we simply extract the download and then copy and paste (overwriting existing files)? Cheers Hazza

    Hello! I bought CDU for CRJ and it works perfectly on my phone. I have an old tablet Acer Iconia A500 and it is 8 years old but it was one of the best tablets when it was released. It has an old Android 4 with default browser. I cannot install new browsers like Chrome because they are not available for this version od Android. I have very annoying lag on this tablet with default browser and screen flashes with blue overlay everytime I press a button on a CDU. It works perfectly with Virtual Avionics, because they use a dedicated app for CDU. My tablet is very old and I am planning to buy a new one and I want to know what specs are recommended…

  9. Hi, I purchased the License for the PMDG 748 EFB. 1. It works great, but only if I am in a "on Board" inside view of chaseplane. If I switch to an outside or view, the EFB shows no reaction. If switch back to inside, all is ok. It is only EFB related, the FMCs (of all other AddOn planes too) wotrks also in outside views. Any suggestionss? 2. Is there a information about the usage of the navigraph charts via the Remote cdu app in EFB? I know it is a license topic between PMDG and Navigraph.

    Hi, I have just purchased my first iPad (6th Gen), not particularly for using as a remote CDU, but will eventually use it as such. I am not quite sure about which browser to use. You seem to recommend Safari, of which I have no knowledge. I use Google Chrome on my desktop PC. Can I use Google Chrome as my browser on my IPad ? , or must I use Safari, in order to create your CDU. Sorry if this a somewhat basic question, but I would like to get a proper answer, before I setup my IPad. Cheers

  11. Hello all, I must have been living under a rock as I just discovered this program, I was browsing the web in order to start researching the purchase of an fmc for the 737 and clicked on a link that directed me to this product. I figured what the heck, for 10 euro i might as well give it a try, I don't have an iPad but I do have an iPhone and figured for the small investment it wold be worth a try to see if it works as described, sure enough it works fantastic on my iphone, I dont intend on using my iPhone but rather will find a cheap iPad somewhere as an fmc module. My question is, will this product work on any iPad (Ipad 1) as I will be looking for the cheapest…

    Dear folks, I have seen some confusion lately about how my software works - ie is it an app, can it be found in the App Store, is it free or not, etc. If you are new here and have similar questions, then this post is for you! How does it work? 'Remote Server' (the actual executable is called SimServer.exe) is a standard Windows application and runs on your FlightSim PC. What it does is it connects to FlightSim (FSX or P3D) and communicates with the different add-ons that are compatible. At the same time, Remote Server spawns a web server and waits for a browser to connect Your mobile device's browser is used to connect to Remote Server …

    Everything works fine.... but I am not able to view the Terminal Charts on my tablet. It states: Navigraph Terminal Charts cannot be viewed on yhis device due to license restrictions. This is a big disappointment. Hopefully am I doing something wrong. It's probably my fault, I should have looked better on the 'view only' version. I think it is / was wise if this had been better communicated. Maybe that was done, but I missed it

    Had remote CDU working on Airbus and then quit working again. Happened after windows 10 updte. My PMDG stuff still works though. Does the panel state have any relation to the remote cdu working or not. I have turnaround state as default. I ran the experimental update again but no luck.

    I see this was asked about back in 2016 but times have changed (and hopefully so has the SDK). Are you able to hook into the Display Units (mostly thinking about PMDG 777, 747 here) and interacting with those. More specifically I am thinking of the Lower DU and DISP controls so that we can interact with the Electronic Checklists especially? Cheers Harry
