A340 MCDU trainer software for PC?

[Cedar Tree]

Does anyone know how I could get interactive software to operate an A340 MCDU on my PC? I do know it exists, but I am looking for it. As I have a ground-school date I am trying to get a head start with the training process. If anyone can help, please let me know!

Thanks!

Avsoft do a 319/320 Professor McDoo, maybe somebody dual rated can comment on the 320 vs 340 similarities?

Thanks Floppy,

I took a look at the McDoo product and it looks great. Honeywell says there is little difference in the MCDU bwt A320/330/340. Can anyone confirm this out there??

A company named FAROS supplies Airbus with "official" FMGS simulator.
I have no reference to contact them, may be St. google can help you :ok:

The differences between the 330/340 and 320 are limited to which FMGS the a/c are fitted with.

Original 320 fit which is called 'Legacy' is has differences to the recent 320/340/330 fit is called 'Pegasus'.

Having said this the differences aren't that great really and you would easily find your way around one having learnt t'other.

AFAIK FAROS (Pharos?) have stopped supporting their FMGS product. Certainly ours is way out of date!

Thanks for the help everyone. This company, Avsoft have some great training products including an interactive software program that trains a pilot to use the A320 FMS/MCDU. They quoted there is very little difference to that of the A340 and it would make an excellent training device.
