How to setup the CockpitMaster CDU

 

This is a REALLY simple setup procedure.
All the logic and display management is contained in the CDU device itself.
No need for extra graphic output and video setup of any kind.
Just download and execute the “CockpitSimulator” application, connect the CDU to any USB port and start a flight.
 

HINT : The external power supply isn't required if your USB power supply is strong enough.
            However, to avoid any trouble due to voltage drop in case of high current demand,
            it is always advised to use an external power supply.

Here we go step by step :

STEP 1 :
Go to the download section of the CockpitMaster website :

You say that it is good with an external power supply, how many volts should it have, 12v?

Hi,

I will put a complete description of the power supply requirements online in the next 2 days.
Still need some information from the supplier.

 

Regards.

In the meantime, you can use it with the USB power supply if it is strong enough.
