WildBillKelsoe Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Hello guys, As I scoured the CH website, I noticed the MFP. After some digging into, I couldn't think of any application relative to DCS than the A-10C CDU unit. I tried so many times to find real life CDU's for the Charlie, only to end up hitting useless pdf's online. So, let's say I do as told, buy it, print out the CDU as graphic insert, Then get it, what are the essentials of CDU buttons or knobs to be assigned, given that it maxes out 50 keys. I was thinking the alpha numeric, the LSK's and CMSP panel altogether, along with LASTE, Autopilot channel, and radio's. I'm planning on getting 2 of them, with extra 25 keys each (100 keys total). What do you guys think? Here is the product page: http://www.chproducts.com/Multi-Function-Panel-v13-d-724.html AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
PlainSight Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 use a 10 inch touchscreen and helios instead [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Panthro Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 agreed any touch screen with helios will do and not only is the price better but your supporting helios too. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
cichlidfan Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I have looked at that thing many times (I really want an excuse to play with it :P). I just can't justify the cost. You can get a bodnar board, switches and other parts for less and it would be a fairly simple build. You still don't have a display but you won't with the CH panel either. Otherwise, for me, there is a 22" touchscreen and Helios, which costs more but gives me the entire cockpit including the CDU and other displays too.

They work well for ANY Windoz application. :pilotfly: 1 :joystick:
