pfrunder Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 New to P3D having recently updated from many years of FS9. Huge improvement, but does P3D support 2D panels? I recently downloaded a FSX aircraft (Kenwigair Citation Excel) which I was able install fine but I have no panel. It looks like this particular plane has only a 2D panel. Thanks. -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy647 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 My guess this plane has only 2D panels. P3D has no problem displaying 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmig Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yes, it does. The panels.cfg file located in the panels folder needs to have a reference to each panel pointing to each gauge and the panel jpg.

pfrunder Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at the panel config. Jmig, do you know exactly what the configuration should look like? It sounds like you are familiar with this plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Press F10 to display 2d panel, if appropriate. Default for P3D is VC/3d using F9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmig Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at the panel config. Jmig, do you know exactly what the configuration should look like? It sounds like you are familiar with this plane. I do not have that particular aircraft. However, here is part of the panel.cfg from the Iris PC21. I made these to replace the virtual panel. They are the three main gauges without the supporting jpg cases.
