Instant setup

Up and flying in under a minute

That's the whole setup. You don't have to build any panels.

Download and install

Get the free 7-day trial: every aircraft and feature, no payment details needed.

Launch PanelSight

Open it alongside the sim. It connects on its own, with nothing to configure.

Start a flight

Load any aircraft, the way you always do. Your panel is already there.

How it works

No panels to build. No pop-outs to manage. It sets itself up.

The usual way to get instruments on a second screen takes two tools and a lot of patience: build or download a panel for every plane you fly, then teach a pop-out manager where that plane's displays go. Fly something else and you start again. PanelSight does all of it automatically.

Detects your aircraft

Fly anything. PanelSight reads the avionics and airframe from the sim and builds the matching panel on its own, with the right instruments in the right places. Nothing to assemble, no files to edit.

Mounts the glass displays

For glass cockpits, PanelSight mounts the sim's own displays (G1000, G3000, G3X Touch, GNS 430, GNS 530 and more) on your panel. No Alt-clicking, no dragging windows into place.

Replicates the steam gauges

The classic six-pack, engine clusters, fuel and trim: every dial drawn to match the real aircraft, with the correct scales, arcs and redlines, moving live with the sim.

Two ways to fly

Where do you want your panel?

Spare monitor: a dedicated panel

Connect any monitor or touchscreen and PanelSight fills it edge-to-edge with your aircraft's panel, knobs and buttons included. See it in detail.

One screen: the overlay

No spare monitor? A click-through overlay pins your instruments over the sim view. Fly external, zoom out, they stay readable. Double-tap Ctrl to hide or show it.

Showcase

See it in flight

See what PanelSight does: your aircraft's steam gauges and glass displays, as an overlay on your main screen or on a second screen, set up automatically. Every shot below shows the overlay over live MSFS 2024.

Secondary screens

Your monitor becomes the instrument panel

PanelSight fills your monitor edge-to-edge with your aircraft's panel, framed in a drawn bezel. It follows whatever you fly, automatically, and the sim view on your main screen stays untouched. No windows to drag, and no layouts to build unless you want to.

  • Choose per monitor: PFD, MFD, the analog six-pack, or tabs you tap to switch mid-flight
  • Touch works like a real cockpit: turn knobs, press buttons, scroll maps with a finger
  • Add as many monitors as you own, and each one becomes a dedicated panel
  • New: a phone, tablet or another computer can be a panel too. Open a page in its browser, with no app to install

Faithful by design

Gauges that match the real instrument

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.

  • Correct arc bands, redlines and Vne per aircraft
  • Attitude, altimeter, turn coordinator and DG done right
  • Radial-engine clusters: manifold, CHT, carb temp, multi-tank fuel
  • Radios drawn too, including the Bendix/King KX 155, KR 87 and KT 76C, the Garmin GTX 330 and GTR 225, and the Trig TY92 and TT21

Found a gauge that does not match the aircraft? That is a bug. Tell us on Discord and we will fix it.

The sim's real displays, mounted for you

For glass aircraft, PanelSight automatically mounts the sim's own displays on your panel 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.

  • Mounted and positioned automatically, with zero clicks from you
  • Includes displays such as G1000, G3000, G3X Touch, GNS 430 and GNS 530, plus the KAP 140, MVP-50 and Aera 510 screens
  • Mixed panels: analog six-pack beside a live glass map
  • Native display aspect, no stretch or pillarbox

Hands on, when you want

Turn the knobs with your finger. No extra hardware.

In the sim, a knob is a tiny target for the mouse, so many pilots buy knob hardware just to tune a radio. PanelSight puts a large interaction area around every knob instead: touch it and turn, like in a real cockpit, or use the mouse anywhere near it.

  • Knobs on glass displays, radios and analog gauges, all turned by finger, mouse drag or scroll wheel
  • Skip costly instrument replicas and knob hardware: use a touchscreen or a tablet instead
  • Big, forgiving interaction areas, with no pixel-hunting the knob's edge
New: Direct copy

Glass screens copied straight from the sim, with no pop-outs

PanelSight can now copy the glass screens straight from the graphics card instead of popping them out of MSFS. You get the same live displays, with no windows in between.

  • No pop-out windows: the camera stays still and nothing flickers while the screens come up
  • Almost no cost to the sim's frame rate
  • Shows screens that MSFS can't pop out, and brings the airliners, from the A320neo to the 747-8

Your own layouts

Want something different? Build your own layout.

Every aircraft comes with a layout that PanelSight builds for you. If you want something else, the layout editor lets you put that aircraft's instruments where you want them, on your main screen or on a second screen.

  • Drag the instruments in, and they snap into line
  • Make several pages and switch between them with one tap
Hotkeys

Change every screen with one key

Press one key, or a button on your yoke or throttle, and every screen changes at once.

  • A button on any joystick, yoke, throttle or gamepad, or a key held with Ctrl, Alt, Shift or the Windows key
  • A hotkey can also hide PanelSight on a monitor, and show it again

Roadmap

Where PanelSight is headed

The focus right now is doing the automatic part flawlessly for the aircraft you fly most, then growing outward from there.

Supported

General aviation planes

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 your panel is ready whichever one you fly.

Supported

Use your secondary screens

PanelSight fills your extra monitors with dedicated, touch-friendly instrument panels. The screens you already own, put to work.

In progress

Airliners and helicopters

The first airliners are here: the A310, A320neo, A321LR, A330, Beluga XL, 737 MAX 8, 747-8, the Fenix A320 and the FSS E-Jets, from the E170 to the E195. So are the first helicopters, the Airbus H125, the Bell 407, the Bell UH-1H and the Guimbal Cabri G2. More of both are coming. Tell us what you fly.

Supported

Build & customize your own panels

Released: choose, for each aircraft, what each extra monitor shows, or build your own layouts in the editor, for when you want to go beyond the panel PanelSight builds automatically.

This list follows what pilots ask for. Tell us what you want PanelSight to do for you: an aircraft we do not cover yet, a feature you miss, anything that would make your setup easier. Ask for it on Discord and we will read every request.

FAQ

Good questions

Which simulator does it support? +
PanelSight is built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Do I need a second PC or special hardware? +
No. PanelSight runs on the same machine as the sim. No second PC, no special hardware. A spare monitor becomes a dedicated touch-friendly panel, and even that is optional: on a single screen, PanelSight pins a lightweight click-through overlay over the sim view instead. Even the rotary knobs need no add-on hardware: turn them with a finger on a touchscreen, or with the mouse wheel.
How do secondary screens work? +
Connect a monitor and start PanelSight: the screen fills edge-to-edge with your aircraft's panel, framed in a drawn bezel. By default it shows the PFD (or the analog six-pack on planes without glass). In Settings you choose what each monitor shows (PFD, MFD, six-pack, or on-screen tabs you tap to switch panels mid-flight), and PanelSight remembers your choice. It follows your aircraft automatically, supports several monitors at once, and touchscreens work like the real thing: turn knobs, press buttons, scroll lists and maps with a finger. Secondary screens are included in the free trial and with a license; the free Cessna 172 (G1000) tier is the on-sim overlay only.
Will it hurt my frame rate? +
It's designed to be light. PanelSight doesn't change how the sim draws its picture, and it adds nothing to the sim itself. Its panels are ordinary windows on your desktop, so your GPU treats them like any other window.
Do I still need a pop-out manager? +
No. That workflow is exactly what PanelSight replaces. For glass aircraft it mounts the sim's own displays on your panels for you, automatically. No Alt-clicking screens, no dragging windows into place, no third-party pop-out tools.
Does it modify the sim? Is it safe to stream? +
PanelSight talks to MSFS through the official SimConnect interface, the same way the sim's own tools do, and runs as a regular always-on-top window. No code injection, no renderer hooks, no sim files touched. PanelSight's panels are regular windows on your screens, so they show up in streams and recordings like anything else.
Which aircraft are supported? +
Every general aviation airplane and every airliner that comes with MSFS 2024 Standard, and more. They cover analog and glass, from the C152, DC-3 and DHC-2 Beaver to the TBM 930, Vision Jet, King Air 350i, PC-12, Fenix A320 and FSS E-Jets, and the H125, Bell 407, UH-1H and Cabri G2 helicopters, all recognized automatically. The library keeps expanding, and glass aircraft are driven straight from the sim's own displays.
Is any of it free? +
Yes. You get a free 7-day trial of the complete product: every aircraft and every feature, no payment details needed. After the trial, the Cessna 172 (G1000) overlay stays free forever, with no license. Every other aircraft needs a one-time license, and advanced features such as secondary-screen panels are part of that license too, so the free Cessna 172 (G1000) is the on-sim instrument overlay on its own.
What exactly does a license include? +
Everything PanelSight does today, for a single one-time payment: every supported aircraft that comes with MSFS 2024 (the list above, apart from the premium aircraft marked ★, plus the ones we keep adding) and advanced features such as secondary-screen panels, on one PC. Aircraft that come with MSFS 2024 are the ones included in any edition of the sim as of October 2026. Add-on aircraft, free or paid, from the Marketplace or other stores, are not included and may be offered separately, as may major new features. During the beta, premium aircraft are included too. See the Terms of Service, section 4.
Do I have to set anything up? +
No. That's the whole idea. PanelSight detects your aircraft and replicates the panel automatically, with nothing to assemble or configure. If you want something else on a monitor, the layout editor lets you choose the instruments and place them yourself, for each aircraft.
How do I get it? +
Download PanelSight for Windows from the button above (or the download page) and install it. You get a free 7-day trial of everything; after that, the Cessna 172 (G1000) overlay stays free, and a one-time license unlocks every other supported aircraft that comes with MSFS 2024, plus advanced features like secondary screens.
Windows says it "protected your PC". Is that safe? +
Yes. Because PanelSight is new, Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" message (Microsoft Defender SmartScreen) the first time you run the installer. It's a caution about unfamiliar software, not a sign that anything is wrong. Click More info, then Run anyway to continue. As more people install PanelSight, the message stops appearing on its own.
Where can I get help or stay updated? +
Join the PanelSight Discord to ask questions, report issues, request features, and hear about updates. News also goes out on X (Twitter). The changelog lists what changed in each version. For account, license, or refund questions, email support@panelsight.net.
