Just spotted this on the X-Plane Developer site:

https://developer.x-plane.com/article/datarefs-for-the-cdu-screen/

Does this mean that it will be possible to support the default FMC again?

It definitely looks like it :)

I’ll start working on it as soon as I get back to near the computer (to support the UTF characters and formatting).

Thanks for the news!

Great!

I'll look forward to it.

Cheers,
Brian

And there we go, the plugin 5.3 should add support for the default FMC as of 11.35.

Most things should be supported although with a few differences in character translations and limited to 14 rows for now but should accommodate all cases.

Let us know if you have any problems,
fun flights,

Joao, thanks for implementing this so quickly!

Hopefully I'll be able to try it out when I get home from work this evening.
