Replacing Cockpit Panels

[sky10]

I would like to change the  cockpit panels and associated instruments in a number of aircraft, but not sure how. Is there a straightforward way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2d or 3d?

You can change colours/textures of panels fairly easily by modifying them with a paint editor like Photoshop or Gimp.

Changing location of instruments etc would be a big PITA for most users, if not impossible.  And probably not worth the effort for all the trouble.

I was thinking of mainly 2D panels, but possibly also 3D. I swapped a panel in Planemaker, but I'm not sure what to do to import the new panel's instruments to match it.

1. Read the planemaker manual to understand the concept.

2. View on youtube Dan Klaue's tutorials.

3. Search the forums for specific information

 

There is not any easy to go.

Thanks Airfighter for your help. I think replacing panels may take a bit of practice!
