Fly external, chase-cam, or zoomed way out — and keep your instruments. PanelSight pins a live panel on top of the sim, always readable, whatever the camera's doing. No panels to build, no pop-out windows to move around: it detects your aircraft and puts the right panel on screen for you.
Truly plug-and-play — nothing to configure, no extra hardware.
One overlay, every kind of panel
The usual way takes two tools and a lot of patience: for every plane you fly, you build and configure a panel, then carefully position the sim's pop-out displays by hand.
PanelSight does all of it automatically: it detects what you're flying, replicates the panel, and pops out and mounts the sim's own displays for you.
Fly anything — PanelSight reads the avionics and airframe from the sim and switches to the matching panel on its own as you swap planes.
Nothing to assemble, no gauges to drag into place, no files to edit. Launch it and the right panel is already there, live. This is the whole point.
Faithful steam gauges with correct arcs and redlines — plus real Garmin glass (G1000, G3000, G3X, GNS 530) brought straight from the sim's own displays.
Every needle and number is driven live by the simulator — not a static skin. What the aircraft does, your overlay shows, instantly.
Each dial is modeled on the actual MSFS instrument, built to be trusted at a glance — the right scale, the right colored arcs, the right redline.
Zoom out, jump to an external view or pan around the cockpit — your instruments stay pinned on top and readable. Click-through, so they never steal a click or get in the way of flying.
Watch PanelSight detect the aircraft, pop out the sim's own glass displays and mount them on the overlay — no clicks, no dragging, ready in seconds. Below the video, scroll through the full supported hangar — every shot over live MSFS 2024.
We model each dial on the actual MSFS panel, aiming for instruments you can trust at a glance: the right scale, the right colored arcs, the right redline. When the airspeed sits in the green, so does PanelSight.
For glass aircraft, PanelSight automatically pops out the sim's own displays and mounts them on your overlay in a tidy bezel — no hunting through menus, no dragging windows to a corner, no pop-out manager. It's the aircraft's actual PFD and MFD: the map pans, synthetic vision moves, all in real time.
Tuning a radio or twisting the heading bug in the sim usually means hunting for a pixel-perfect spot on a tiny knob. PanelSight gives every rotary encoder a generous enhanced rotation area — just hover and scroll. Everything else stays click-through, so you only ever interact when you mean to.
Want a clean view for a moment — a screenshot, the scenery, a glance at the whole cockpit? Tap Ctrl twice and the overlay vanishes; tap twice again and it's back exactly where it was. No menus, no mouse, no breaking your flow.
28 aircraft supported today, with the library growing toward every Career-mode aircraft and beyond.
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk overlay is free forever — no license needed; a one-time license unlocks every other plane. And the list keeps growing — more aircraft are added all the time.
No config files, no second computer. Launch and go.
Load any aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 the way you always do.
It connects over SimConnect, detects your aircraft, replicates the matching panel — and pops out and mounts any glass displays, all on its own.
The panel's already on screen and live. Needles move with the aircraft, clicks pass straight through to the sim. That's it.
The focus right now is doing the automatic part flawlessly for the aircraft you fly most — then growing outward from there.
General aviation means the small planes — everything from trainers and bush planes to turboprops and light jets. PanelSight supports them, analog and glass alike, so the overlay is ready as you progress.
Whether these come next depends on demand: if enough pilots want the same automatic overlay in their airliners and helicopters, we'll build it. Tell us what you fly.
PanelSight detects your extra monitors automatically and spreads the instruments across them — putting the screens you already own to work.
Rearrange instruments, tweak the layout and save your own setups — for when you want to go beyond the panel PanelSight builds automatically.
