CONCLUSION
The FlyEngravity CDU Version 2 it is a beautiful and realistic 737 replica. In comparison with Version 1, the CDU, and V2 is completely made of aluminum alloy, to obtain a solid.
The black-and-white display (earlier, white and grey), V1 is replaced by a high-contrast color screen. What's black and white, it would have to be in the display, is really a BLACK-and-WHITE. In addition, the color deep, rich colors. Beautiful!!!
With Version 2, it is really to get used to a Larger size and/or numbers, and the correct font of the numbers, such as those that can be found in a real 737. Wow !
I have also paid attention to potential delays, or the delays, but there is nothing that is noticeable (latency or <0.1 Ms).
The keyboard is also equipped with a ‘have tacticle switches’, which is now clearly hear a clicking sound when pressing the button. The keyboard is, in fact, be available in accordance with the requirements of the user (custom-made).
As with V1, this CDU is also equipped with a backlightverlichting. This backlightverlichting has been a lot more intense compared to Q1. Also, these lamps can be dimmed with a switch.
Connections and setup are easy, and anyone can run it. Just a little bit to be aware of the settings and IP addresses. For a typical cockpitbouwer, there is no problem ...
The price of CDU, and V2 is the other side of the coin. Taking into account the official price of this expensive toy, and it doesn CDU for many of the Boeing 737-builders will only be a wet dream come true.
If the sale of my CDU V1, and the appropriate discounts (i.e., during the FSWeekend), and the other extras, I'm still at a low price from the born 🙂

A DUMMY CDU
The right-wing CDU (F/O side), I use a dummy.
Only the front cover with the buttons and the plexiglass for the window. An aluminum plate on the back keeps it all together.
This PARLIAMENTARY dummy is on the right in the CDU bay is placed partially on the Lower Eicas’. The altitude level is the same as that of the left-wing CDU (Capt).
This dummy is also FlyEngravity.
