Hi,
Have a look at your exiting panel.cfg's and study them, they may help you. I'd renale your exiting panel folder within the aircraft folder you want to modify, just as a backup.
Maybe it's just an alias??
 

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change Smiley

Should be easy enough. First back up the original panel folder of the aircraft you wish to modify by renaming the folder to something like Panel.0

Then copy the 737 panel folder & paste it in alongside it.

KEEP IN MIND!!!! if you change out the panel, YOUR VC gauges may not work any longer!!

your new PANEL.CFG may call for a different VC than what you really have, so if you like flying VC, then it might get messed up in the switch.



Just thought I would warn you.

You could always just copy the existing panel's vc portion of the cfg into the new panel's cfg vc area when making the switch. You then get the new 2d while retaining a working VC.
