Aviasoft Remote CDU for Phone / Tablet Official Support Forum

Have you ever wanted to use your tablet / phone as a remote CDU? Well now you can! This free-to-view server will allow you to use your favorite mobile device (Android tablet / phone, iPhone / iPad, Windows tablet / phone) to interact with the CDU in a variety of P3D and MSFS aircraft. This is the official forum for support.

  1. Hello Mark, using SimServer 4.1.0.3, P3D V4.2, Windows 10 Everything seems to be working for all three PMDG aircraft, but it doesn't connect to either the Aerosoft CRJ or the MadDog ("Server Status: Connected, waiting for aircraft") In my defense, I have just started using RCDU, and I may have overlooked something that needs to be set up for these aircraft first? Best regards

  6. Dear Folks, I'm happy to announce, that with the latest version (3.2.0.0 as released today), a new product has also been added: The Remote Overhead Client. It allows you to interface with PMDG's 737NGX overhead panel and replicates it on a networked PC. It is fully functional and all switch/knob/button action is forwarded to your in-flight simulation. Also, all switches you operate in-flight, will be synchronized back to the Remote Overhead panel. All communication is channeled through the SimServer application so you don't need to run any further software on the host system. There is also no additional performance overhead. Similary to the Remote…

    I connected my PC via ethernet directly to my wifi router due to poor reception and dl speeds. But when I did this, my licenses no longer work and I have view mode only displayed for my aircraft in the simserver app. I am able to connect to simserver with my tablet, but its view only. When I switch back to a wifi connection all is good. Any suggestions?

    Every time I run the remote server it says that my 747 .ini file needs to be updated. I only use P3Dv4 and the location it is looking in isn't correct. It's looking for it in the default P3Dv3 location. When I do select OK, my .ini file in the P3Dv4 folder does get updated. Can I just select cancel when it tells me to update? Thanks! Forgot to mention that everything seems to be working fine.

  11. Today I upgraded my Win 10 Pro to 1709 and after doing this I could no longer start SimServer since it kept telling me SimServer was already running although it was not. Found out you can work around this issue by setting SimServer to be ran in Windows 8 compatibility mode so guess something needs to be tweaked to the SimServer.exe in order to work in the latest version of Win 10 without having to use compatibility mode.

  13. Hi folks, I know that this question was asked & answered in the FAQ, but what I am experiencing is different. I had SimServer set up to work in both installations of PMDG 737NGX and B777 in FSX and P3Dv4. Since I no longer use NGX and B777 in FSX, I decided to delete these installations and fly these simulators exclusively in P3Dv4. Since I removed these products from P3Dv4, I am receiving the above message along with the following message: "It seems your B737 NGX PMDG Options File is not set up correctly for data broadcasting, which is required for the server to work correctly." It goes on to request addition of the required option file change…

  15. I am curious as to what the differences between the 2 if anyone owns the virtualavionics one could do a side by side comparison to Remote CDU, which offers more features and is better overall? On iPad running iOS 11, I believe you can have split screen safari and basically run 2 instances of Remote CDU, whereas with the virtual cdu app from virtualavionics, I don't think this is possible.
