The DCP and CCP panels are a 100% replica of those found in the Bombardier Challenger 605/650. The units recreate the same look, feel and functionalities.
Details :
DCP stands for Display Control Panel, it’s the primary pilot interface that sets the information presented on the PFD (such as nav and bearing sources, display range, radar, traffic etc.) while the CCP Cursor Control Panel, allows the pilot to select the information presented on the MFD (such as maps setting, systems, checklists, charts etc.).
They are located on the center pedestal and each pilots have their own set of DCP and CCP.
Using the side selector buttons, you will be able to switch instantly between captain and first officer side, allowing the control of all four EFIS anytime.
For more information, please refer to this manual from SmartCockpit.com.
Features :
- 1:1 scale
- 100% usable (more than 50 commands)*
- Control both captain and first officer side in the same time
- Removable panels for easy integration on your cockpit (or desk, panel etc.)
- Preconfigured for the CL650 but fully customizable
- Fully backlit (including bezels and buttons)
- Dimming adjustable via in-sim state or a button combination on the panel
- Compatible with X-Plane 11 / 12 and MSFS 2020
* We strongly recommend to use the Challenger 650 by Hotstart for X-Plane to take advantage of all the features.

You never understand how much you’re missing by not having proper panels until you make them a part of your setup. Solid quality product and with the included instructions and profiles, it works out of the box!

Great product, very satisfied! I was getting frustrated flying the HotStart CL650 because I fly in VR and it is difficult to use the mouse to manipulate the DCP/CCP. This unit is a complete game changer, solved the problem and more. The unit looks so great lit up that it is a shame I fly in VR; but the lighting does help when peeking down my nose under VR. The size is 1:1 scale, I was able to compare it side by side to the real deal and the color is almost an exact match (this unit has new paint, the aircraft had slightly faded paint, but same color). This unit has discrete side buttons that permit you to switch between the captain or first officer units quickly on the fly. You have the option of controlling the backlighting with the simulator or by the included dimmer. You can remove the outer case for direct in-panel mounting if desired. The unit has a “heavy-Ish” durable feel to it (but I do not recommend testing the limits); all buttons and knobs have a nice feel to them. The setup was quick and easy, almost plug-and-play, no programming or key binding required, I simply followed the instructions on this website. Well-made and well thought out unit by the designer. I have a feeling I will be purchasing a second unit so I do not have to share this one with my co-pilot.

It only took one flight for me to get used to having it, and I can’t imagine flying without it now. Highly recommended if you’re fond of the Challenger!

As a big fan of the Hotstart CL60, this was an add on that couldn’t be missed.
Ordering and delivery went perfectly smooth.
Moussa had to help me a bit with the set up of Mobiflight , but kindly did so and even live on line!
Once the setup was completed, I was astonished how well this unit was thought out: the switch from CM1 to CM2, the controllable background lighting, the step by step documentation, actually the whole unit. And all of this by a one man company.
Using the unit, I quickly discovered functions that I never used on the on screen CCP, such as the radio frequency management, the different system buttons such as the hydraulics page. Now just a button away.
Thoroughly recommend it, and the best is yet to come!

Amazing Product! After the first flight I was hooked and now can not fly the Challenger without it. Ordering and international delivery was very smooth. Highly Recommend this product. Looking forward to the next one.

Espectacular. Este es un add-on imprescindible para los amantes del 650 de Hot Start. Utilizo VR y la verdad que a veces la ubicación de las cosas en el avión de verdad hace que en VR haya que tener el cuello de goma. Utilizar este DCO/CCP es un placer, super fácil de configurar con la guía provista. La respuesta y soporte del desarrollador en Discord es casi instantánea.
