Hello All, I'm new to this wonderful VA but just thought I'd share something. If anyone (like me) uses a cloud PC to get better FPS/General experience, you may have never been able to get an external MCDU on a tablet, as the tablet would not be able to link in with the cloud PC's network. 

I found an alternative method detailed below (based on my own set up but tweak for your own purpose)

I use my main PC for the running of the sim, I have a second monitor to display the PFD's etc.

Using google chrome remote, I now display my MCDU onto my second monitor. Now having downloaded google chrome desktop on my tablet is synced the  PC, I now have an external, functional MCDU on my tablet which is responsive and has zero impact on FPS.

The only drawback is that I now have an MCDU displayed on my second monitor but I can adjust the size of it so that it is only that of which is displayed on my tablet not my PFD's etc.

I use the Latin VFR A319/A320 with the horizon mod.

Just sharing some ideas for more immersion, happy flying!

Well done Sol. Your PC situation is pretty unique but someone might find this information helpful. Flightsimmers are truly ingenious finding workarounds to improve their experience. Welcome to JetVa!
