8/10 PFP 3N (Boeing 737 FMC/CDU)
Boeing home-cockpit builders flying the PMDG 737 who want an authentic backlit FMC for far less than legacy hardware.
The PFP 3N is the Boeing counterpart to WinWing's Airbus MCDU, a full-size physical replica of the 737-series CDU/FMC starting around $130. Like its sibling it is fully backlit, 28.5 mm thick, connects over a single USB cable with no GPU load or latency, and uses a light sensor to auto-adjust display brightness. It works with PMDG's Boeing range and mounts flat, upright or on a swivel clamp. One caveat surfaced in the community: certain PMDG variant combinations have had compatibility quirks, so confirm your exact aircraft is supported before buying.
