If you look at aircraft.cfg, you'll see there are around half a dozen different panels/colours assigned to different aircraft. I tried loading each one to test, but didn't see any difference. Maybe it's W.I.P.?

They advertise V2 as having 3 panel colour options - doesn't say anything about WIP.  I don't if they would expect their customers to hack at .cfg files?

Different liveries have different panel colours. As far as I know it's livery dependent.

Yes - and I've tried them *all* (no editing of any .cfg files) - they were all the included ones. None of the [different] panels showed.

I've only tried a couple of variants, but I've definitely seen 2 different panel colours so far.

I accidentally bought the Trislander instead, how much difference between the two?

The Trislander is uglier LOL!!! Neither aircraft would win a beauty contest, but I love my Islander all the same!

I think the Islander *may* be slightly more advanced (development-wise) - especially as it's just had an update.

They will work with you, if that's what you'd like to do. When the Trislander came out, I bought it almost immediately, but I was a little too fast on hitting the button and actually reading what I was doing. I ended up purchasing a 2nd copy of the Islander. I sent them an email explaining what I did and they took care of it for me.

I don't see much difference in the two, except for maintaining a 3rd Engine.  

CAUTION! The Trislander broke the Kap140 autopilot of all other planes that use.

Wow!  An aircraft, flight sim, and Porcupine Tree fan - what a cool dude!  

PS.  Thanks for the Hunter on flightsim.to Dave - superb!

As I say, I've only tried a couple, one was the Skybus livery & the other was one of the Defenders.

Well, that's a nice surprise - great!

Dave - your Hunter in MSFS is totally awesome!!! Many thanks!

Any chance of taking another look at the dh89 Rapide? It pitches onto its nose every time on landing! Apart from that little quirk (!!!) it's also a superb add-on!

Version 2.1.0 just out  🙂

he full changelog as found on the website (september 2nd):
v2.1.0 (2 September 2022)

    Changed ASI Markings

    Added lubber marks on VOR gauges

    Corrected ADF size and remapped

    Edited for 4 degree droop flaps (FDE and VISUAL)

    Added wing/flap droop fence

    Added minor degree marks on Compass

    Reduced Pitch effect for Flaps

    Reduced Flap Drag

    Reduced Carb Ice formation Time

    Increased Rudder Effectiveness

    Reduced tendency to wobble in wind on ground

    Invisible Registration added to pre painted Liveries

    VR Zoom Added to interior

    Added Environment Occlusion

    Tightened up Ai Control PIDS (Autopilot)

    Adjusted NAV/GPS Flag positions on VOR1

    Removed 2nd Avionics switch

    Added fuel Selector knobs off on Apron

    Adjusted “ice warning band” on carb temp gauge

    Fixed compass breaker & warn lamp action

    Fixed ADF failure action & details

    Fixed flickering Circuit Breakers on Cargo Variants

    Fixed Aspen mode cycle bug

 

My emphasis on the bits that have improved the aircraft most for me. Nose-up pitch with flaps hasn't just been reduced - it's been virtually eliminated. 

@Paul K  Thanks for that Paul - this makes me happy!  I share an identical view to you on the changes, with the pitch effect for flaps being the main gripe for me.  So glad this has been eliminated, as I could barely control the thing when applying flaps.

Once again, great work by Blackbox.
