    I made a BIG Mistake on My MCDU - Maybe ????

    So after a very long period of not working on my sim very much I've started up again. I've been working on my MCDU and I see what could be a big mistake. My drawing and CAD files I used on the laser to cut my panels don't show the correct number of keys when compared to JeeHell's software MCDU. I MAY have used the wrong MCDU as my example. What I've been building looks more like a 737NG FMC - maybe??? Maybe it's an older Airbus MCDU???? Can you guys verify that my original drawing is wrong?Here is my original CAD drawing I used on the laser to cut my panels:



    Here is what my new CAD file looks like when using HeeHell's software MCDU as my model:

    There is a new style and old style MCDU (with Annunciations and without annunciation, arrow keys) -- both can be correct.

    Check out http://soarbywire.com for some shots of a Thales MCDU.

    The second one (blue outline) would be more correct...

    Either works fine with JH. I had one of each until recently.
