CNFSimulator.A320 MCDU Product Specification (PDF)

Product Overview

The CnTech A320 MCDU (Multipurpose Control and Display Unit) is the flight-management core terminal of the A320 simulated cockpit, handling flight planning, performance computation and system monitoring, with 1:1 reproduction of the real aircraft’s controls.

• Configured in pairs (one each for the left and right seats), distinguishing captain and first officer
• Connects standalone to flight simulation software, or integrates into a full simulated cockpit
• Professional light-guide panel material with real-aircraft colours and markings
• Warm-white backlighting, evenly diffused with adjustable brightness
• Premium baked-paint finish; keys with ergonomic concave caps for comfortable pressing

Key Features

• 1:1 Authentic Reproduction
  Appearance, dimensions and operating logic follow the real panel exactly — from the key layout to the display interface. Custom professional key switches with a 5 N actuation force, close to the feel of the real aircraft.
• Professional Light-Guide Craft
  Professional light-guide material with warm-white backlighting — even diffusion, adjustable brightness and crisp markings.
• High-Definition Display
  VGA video output at 800 × 600 resolution — a sharp, finely detailed picture on a generous display area.
• Stable Communication
  CAN bus communication — stable, reliable and strongly interference-resistant.
• Clean Wiring
  One network cable carries both communication and power, and one video cable outputs the picture — keeping the wiring simple.
• High Compatibility
  Together with the iFSim.Ready software it supports MSFS, Prepar3D, X-Plane and other mainstream platforms.
