The way Xplane handles their panel is stupid. I love XP and am a huge word not allowed but this is a weak spot. They should really consider modularizing their panels. As it stands right now this is going to be a big project and will probably take me a few months. I am going to work on it when I can and in the process, I am trying to find a better way to integrate.

@KIMCHI We've been discussing and asking the idea, for at least 6 years, to add SDK functions so that plugins could add or remove 'renderable' textures to the 3D panel dynamically, instead of the X-Plane limitation requiring to 'bake' such renderable textures in the model only. It seems XP11 facilitates adding 3D objects to the ACF file, but not 'renderable' surfaces (what is represented by the panel.png for now). We don't despair though, and there is an increasing number of aircraft vendors offering RXP pre-configured aircraft.

I have a blender file I converted to an OBJ of the GTN750 how can I attach it?

In plane maker, you can attach obj to the aircraft and AFAIK XP11.3 is supposed to allow adding more than 1 cockpit object.

If I knew how I would love to take my GTN OBJ and overlay it or replace the 530's. Ultimately I'd love to add my 750 OBJ and 650 OBJ. If anyone can explain or point me in a direction on how to add the OBJ we will have it!
