PanelSight detects what you're flying and puts the right panel on screen, either on a spare monitor or as an overlay over the sim. Nothing to build, nothing to configure.
Free 7-day trial: every aircraft and feature, no payment details needed.
The Cessna 172 overlay is free forever. No license needed.
Every kind of panel, on your second screen or over the sim
These three steps are everything. No panels to build, no second computer.

Open it alongside the sim. It connects on its own, with nothing to configure.
Load any aircraft, the way you always do. Your panel is already there.
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.
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.
For glass cockpits, PanelSight pops out the sim's own displays (G1000, G3000, G3X, GNS 530) and mounts them on your panel. No Alt-clicking, no dragging windows into place.
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.
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.
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.
Watch PanelSight detect the aircraft, pop out the sim's own glass displays and mount them in place, with no clicks and no dragging, ready in seconds. Below the video, the full supported hangar: every shot shows the overlay over live MSFS 2024, and on a spare monitor the same panels fill the screen edge-to-edge.
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, no layouts to build, ever.
Tuning a radio or twisting the heading bug in the sim usually means pixel-hunting a tiny knob, or buying dedicated physical hardware just to get real knobs. PanelSight needs neither. Every knob is surrounded by a generous enhanced rotation area, so you never have to hit its exact edge. On a touchscreen, reach out and turn the knob or press the buttons, like in a real cockpit. With a mouse, hover anywhere in that same area and scroll.
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.
Found a gauge that does not match the aircraft? That is a bug. Tell us on Discord and we will fix it.
For glass aircraft, PanelSight automatically pops out the sim's own displays and mounts them 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.
28 aircraft supported today, and the library keeps growing.
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk overlay is free forever, with no license needed. A one-time license unlocks every other general-aviation aircraft we support, now and in the future, plus advanced features like secondary screens.
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 your panel is ready as you progress.
Released: PanelSight fills your extra monitors with dedicated, touch-friendly instrument panels. The screens you already own, put to work.
Whether these come next depends on demand: if enough pilots want the same automatic panels in their airliners and helicopters, we'll build it, possibly as a separate expansion. Tell us what you fly.
Rearrange instruments, tweak the layout and save your own setups, 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.
The sim's built-in pop-out windows, a panel manager paired with a pop-out manager, or a panel that builds itself — what each one can actually put on your second screen, and what it costs you.
Only the sim's glass displays pop out; the round dials are part of the 3D cockpit. Why that is, the tools that draw steam gauges on a second monitor instead, and which aircraft PanelSight covers.
The wheel zooms when you meant to tune the radio, and no setting makes it stop. What actually helps, and why the answer for most people is a screen they already own.
Every download starts with a free 7-day trial: every aircraft and every feature, secondary screens included, no payment details needed.
