XPlaneCDU is an Android-based remote control interface for the Control Display Unit (CDU) present in supported X-Plane 11 aircraft. I have a blog post I wrote about the initial design back in 2017, and then another about adding FS4 support. I also gave a presentation about all my projects at Flight Sim Expo 2019. Note that the top-right display is a 4th output from the X-Plane machine, while the other tablets and phones are all Android devices. Here are some examples showing my set up with a variety of different aircraft. If you would like to use the source-code under a license that is non-GPLv3, please contact me to negotiate an appropriate license. All of this software is open source and licensed under GPLv3. This page describes XPlaneCDU, XTextureExtractor, XPlane748EFB, and XPlaneMonitor, which I developed to add more realism to my set up, and allows you to use extra monitors, extra computers, and Android tablets. However, a modern aircraft has many switch panels and displays that are not within the view of the monitors, and it is also nice to have haptic feedback when you interact with physical controls. The simulator is configured to render the displays assuming the viewer is in the exact center of the cube, so these images from outside show a distorted view.
It uses three 42" LCD displays arranged around the pilot to cover a 270 degree field of view, with proper yoke, pedals, and throttles.
Since 2016, I have been building a simple home cockpit for flight simulation based on X-Plane 11. Wayne Piekarski - X-Plane plugins and applications wayne piekarski
