good night
I am setting up an FMC with a 5 "screen, so I would like to know if there is any way to detach the screen from the virtual keyboard so that the information only appears.

Hi, for me this configuration works fine after a long search (works also for P3D) ....:

***
Change panel.cfg for your PMDG B737-800 aircraft like this.
For the 800 serie go to
FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800 NGX
and paste in the text below over the orininal text after you have taken a backup

//
// CDU (Left)
//
[Window02]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
size_mm=800,600
window_size= 0.625, 0.50000
position=8
visible=0
ident=402
zorder=99

gauge00=PMDG_737NGX!CDU_SCREEN, 0,0,800,600,L #0



Rightclick Captain's CDU screen and drag it to the FMC screen


hein

Yes, but undock the FMC-screen before moving

thanks for the help.

When I use this setup I am unable to align all LH and RH pushbuttons to be correct with the arrow.
If I set up the INIT/REF/INDEX and start in bottom:
OFFSET is correct
APP is 1 mm low
TAKEOFF is 2-3 mm low
PERFORM is 4 mm Low
POS is 5 mm Low
IDENT is 6 mm Low
and the same on the right side
Is there any way to adjust this????

I also had to manually adjust the size when transfering CDU screen to the CDU. It was to small to fill the screen

And after a try the frameRate went all the way to the bottom when doing this..
When undocking to a normal screen FR is noemal (20-25)
It is to be said that the CDU panel was on the internal screen output and all the others ate on a GTX 1060

Thats bad.... As i said multiple times.... THIS is not a perfect solution.
Undock windows reduce FPS extremly as i find out myself.

A German user gave me last week a nice link to a project who READ the FMC Data as raw Code from the Sim and put it ( in a self running programm) to a Window.
This also is Network Compatible..... So in theory you could use a 15 Year old Computer ( Ebay 20 US$) and use it with 2(3) Displays for the FMC´s without any effect to the main Computers FPS.

I not get deeper into this.... Must do some reasearch at first.
Here is a Link! https://phpjj.wordpress.com/cdu-project-for-pmdg-737-747-777-data-and-events-server/

On first view this system is a combined idea that include Inputs.... I not need them cause i use Mobiflight here....
BUT.... I would need the Tool that READ the FMC Screen Data and the CLIENT that create the Window i can use on the Screens.

Thanks Pizman.
I have done a little practical research and it seems not to be the undock that has the frame rate impact.
When just undocking the CDU to another screen drops the FR only a few numbers, but when you modify the panel.cfg specially with the CDU_SCREEN in the bottom line of the CDU setup it drops like "h-----".
I normally set the FR to limit 30 and when I modify panel.cfg it drops to around 2.
Of course this is also due to the fact that I have a little weak GPU (GTX1060 6G
I have also tried to pan it over to an USB display adapter with the same result.
It is only the "window" of the CDU that has this impact.
When it comes to both sides FD and ND and also the complete CDU undocking it has almost no influence on FR.
Are anyone capabel to explain me why?
