This addon allows you to interact with the PMDG 737 FMC in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 directly from your web browser on your Sims computer, as well as remotely from your laptop, tablet or mobile phone. It can also be used as a screen-only variant for home cockpit users who have built a custom FMC.
This addon is based on the initial and open-source version of the CDU addon created by Lorby and friends and has been published here on flightsim.to with kind permission by Lorby.
For detailed installation instructions please follow the documentation which can be found inside the addon's archive. And there is also a great Video available which explains how to set up the add-on on your machine. A big shout out to Howlingcrazy for that. Cheers Mate!
Features
- Control the 737 FMC from your browser on your desktop PC, tablet or mobile phone
- Works with any PMDG 737-800, -900, -700 and -600 model for MSFS
- Allows the control of both, left and right CDU
- Keyboard input supported (browser window needs to be in focus for keyboard input to work)
- Can also be run as a screen-only variant especially useful for home cockpit users
Note for P3D and FSX users
This addon might also work with the PMDG 737 models for P3D and FSX (NGX/NGXu/NG3) as they share the same SDK for the time being, but as I cannot test these because I don't own any of the mentioned simulators and the PMDG SDK is subject to change anytime soon, I just cannot officially support it. Therefore any questions regarding these simulators won't be answered by me.

I'm very pleased to see that the FMC plugin for AAO continues to work so well, with perhaps a few minor problems. I've had a look at the problem with the display just staying dark, but haven't had the time to find a fix for it yet. However, there is a workaround that works for me for now. If the display in the FMC plugin remains dark after the aircraft has been started, try switching AAO offline and back online. This worked well for me.
I will have a detailed look at the problem when I get the chance. However, as I am currently focussing more on other things in my life, it may take a little longer. In addition, I am currently unable to respond directly to all your enquiries as I used to.
Cheers to you all and fly safely

Everything was just fine until now. I Have previously started AAO and run aircraft automated scripts. And it has worked perfect. But now, i dont understand more. I can connect my phone, and everything i press on the phone works, but for some reason the phone dosent recive information back. The screen stays the same. Also I often, but not always get a CTD after. Any ideas?
thx in advance

This is a great WebAPI and works a treat on a tablet but the exec light still does not illuminate for me on the latest version.

I get 404 errors when trying to connect to the page. I do use G-Hub so I have changed the port 9780, but I still get the same. I also use the Stream Deck plugin for AAO, would that cause problems?
EDIT: Nevermind, ignore me. I missed an install step. All working fine now. Great addon!

hi.
Just bought AAO 2 days ago and works well. Today I move to other city and found my AAO doesnt work in my tablet. It can not connect. I play msfs from the same laptop. I did not change any setting. The difference is the IPv4 address and I've change the url with new IPv4 address. How can I solve this problem?

This can have multiple causes. As I have no overview over your network and your settings, there is not much that I can do. There might be a port collision with another software using the same port that has been set in AAO. You should try it with a different port setting. You should also check your firewall setting. If you have moved and your network settings have changed, which looks obvious as you say your IP-address has changed, the problem might also be related to your firewall settings.
