May 11, 200719 yr Hi All.I was wondering if someone might be good enough to give me a few pointers on this one please.if I have a good plane model, but a poor panel, and would like to use a different panel from another model, Do I just delete the poor panel folder contents and copy the good panel contents into that respective folder ?Many thanks.

May 11, 200719 yr First, keep in mind that if the aircraft involved has a virtual cockpit, the aliased panel will remove any gauges in the VC and it will likely appear blank. That said, this is what I do:I create a second panel folder for the aliased panel, and name the folder panel.xxx (where xxx equals something meaningful, such as PMDG).Then I edit my aircraft.cfg as follows (note the "panel=" line):title=John's Super 737sim=John's Super 737model=panel=PMDGsound=texture=ui_manufacturer=Boeingui_type=737-700ui_variation=UAL w/PMDG Panelatc_heavy=0atc_id=atc_airline=atc_flight_number=editable=0atc_id_color=0x00000000visual_damage=0atc_parking_codes=atc_parking_types=RAMPdescription="Just an example"Again, note the panel line. The reason I prefer this method is it lets me keep a backup of the old panel folder so I can test the new panel, and/or switch to something more framerate friendly if I want to later on. I have aircraft in my library that have multiple entries referencing several panels, as an example.I hope this helps. I haven't posted in a while and I enjoy responding to threads where I think I can offer some advice. Regards,John
May 12, 200719 yr Similar to what John said:You can also just rename your old panel folders. Heres what I have for my 737NGpanelpanel.thatniceonewiththeHUDpanel.nicebitmappanel.customThen when you want to use one of them just rename it to "panel"
