A WiFi companion for MSFS2020 that mirrors the ATR 72-600’s CDU, including its keypad and COM/NAV/SURV controls, on a phone or tablet.

Why it surfaced

VirtualCDU targets the unusually specific problem of building a physical CDU replica, replacing the wiring, Arduino work, 3D printing, and second computer with a touchscreen and one program. Its promise is pleasingly concrete: press a key on the tablet and see the simulator respond in real time.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.
