WinCtrl CDU
MobiFlight supports WinCtrl CDU devices with the MobiFlight 11 beta builds. All buttons are automatically available as game controller inputs; however, using the display for output requires additional setup and is only supported with the following aircraft:

To get the beta build and install pre-requisites for CDU display support, take the following steps:
Install the beta build
Opt in to the MobiFlight beta by selecting Settings from the Extras menu, then checking the Yes, I would like to receive beta version updates option. Click OK to close the dialog, then restart MobiFlight. The app will prompt to download and install the latest beta.
Configure the aircraft
Some aircraft, such as the PMDG 737 and PMDG 777, require additional configuration. See the detailed aircraft information and follow the appropriate steps for the relevant airplane.
Verify the CDU is detected
Run MobiFlight, then check the CDU display. If MobiFlight detects the CDU on startup, the CDU display will show –>MobiFlight<–.
Tips
Do not run SimAppPro at the same time as MobiFlight.
MobiFlight relies on the CDU default power-on display settings. If SimAppPro is run before MobiFlight, the display settings are modified and will result in misaligned content. To resolve the issue, close SimAppPro, then disconnect and reconnect the CDU from USB to reset the display settings to defaults.
If multiple CDUs are connected, they need to be assigned separate modes. Use SimAppPro to set each CDU to CAPTAIN, OBSERVER or CO-PILOT mode.
Only default font is supported.
