Mcdu help!
Hello guys.
Things have really been clipping along for my A320 simulator recently, and now one of the few things remaining would be the MCDU.
I really can not think of an affordable way to control the MCDU realisticically without using a mouse. I've looked at $3000 hardware MCDUS and also at touchscreens, but the cheapest touch screen I could find was $700 or so!
I can not fly realistically if I can't programme the MCDU without a mouse.
Any suggestions for alternates or where I can find a cheap touchscreen? I don't mind buying a used one as long as it's cheap and still in good quality.

Re: Mcdu help!
Maybe not quite what you were hoping for, but have you tried FDS's MCDU? I have ordered one (basically on mere principle: I know their other products so I feel safe buying this one) from them and it should be delivered to my house in a matter of days.
Thanks,

Hi,
I don't know if you have seen this already, but the OpenCockpits MCDU is a real nice part to look at (and to use in the cockpit of course!). You find the thing on their website (http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/...ml?cPath=22_63), and it costs €337. Not quite in the same league as what you mention...
They also sell a kit (http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/...ml?cPath=23_49) for €132, which you have to put together yourself, but with only some rudimental skills I have already succeeded in that...
If I were you, I would seriously consider this route!
Regards,Hans
