I'd like a hardware FMC that is USB plug and play. I don't like the VR Insight version--it looks cheap to me.

Is there a FMC that will work in a generic cockpit that doesn't cost a fortune? C'mon GoFlight---fill the void!!

Suggestions?

Hi Steve,

OpenCockpits do a hardware FMC at

Thanks for that! I'll check it out....

I would suggest you get one in your hand and have a look before you say VR is looking cheap. I have one of their panels and the quality is the reason I bought it. All metal and very well put together.

But the VR Insight version doesn't replicate an actual FMC. It has only a one line LED screen.

Also, VAS-FMC doesn't support VNAV? How can your FMC be useful without VNAV?

Maybe I read that wrong....

In all truth, no Sim FMC replicates the real thing. No matter what you go for you will not even be scratching the surface. I work with them daily and still find things and functions that I did not know they had

VAS-FMC doesn't support VNAV, yet.....

Alex and his team are continually upgrading and adding new features, if you have a look around the VAS forum you will find that VNAV is planned sometime in the future...

Steve,

I think I read somewhere that they have released a new version that has a full lcd screen instead of the "dumb" one liner.

Of course they likely increased the price to reflect that.  ;)

John,

Do you use a FMC in your cockpit? If so, which one?

Nope....cause the BAE-146-200 does not HAVE one.

However I eventually will add one...since my pit is MY pit... and I am not necessarily tied to duplicating the real aircraft.

Not strictly true John, some had them and others not. BAe supplied the GNS-X on option. I think all the hybrid Analogue/Glass cockpits had them.
