For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Your instruments, always in view.

Zoom out, swing to an outside view, or just look around the cockpit — and your panel slides out of sight. PanelSight pins your instruments on top, always readable, whatever the camera's doing. And it's plug-and-play: it detects your aircraft and draws the right panel for you, with nothing to configure.

Truly plug-and-play — nothing to configure, no extra hardware.

Why PanelSight

No panels to build. No setup per plane. It just knows.

Other overlays make you hunt down, assemble and configure a panel for every aircraft. PanelSight detects what you're flying and replicates the main instruments for you — automatically.

Detects your aircraft

Fly anything — PanelSight reads the avionics and airframe from the sim and switches to the matching panel on its own as you swap planes.

Zero configuration

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.

Analog and live glass

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.

Real-time SimConnect data

Every needle and number is driven live by the simulator — not a static skin. What the aircraft does, your overlay shows, instantly.

Faithful to the real gauge

Each dial is traced from the actual MSFS instrument and checked side by side — the right scale, the right colored arcs, the right redline.

Always in view

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.

Showcase

Real panels, real flights

Every shot below is PanelSight running over live MSFS 2024 — analog clusters, twin glass tubes, full G3000 stacks.

Faithful by design

Gauges that match the real instrument

Each dial is hand-traced from the actual MSFS panel and checked side by side: 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

Live glass, not screenshots

Real displays, mounted in a clean bezel

For glass aircraft, PanelSight brings the sim's own pop-out display onto your overlay and frames it in a tidy bezel — so the map pans, the PFD comes alive, and the synthetic vision moves, all in real time.

  • G1000, G3000, G3X Touch and GNS 530 supported
  • Mixed panels — analog six-pack beside a live glass map
  • Native display aspect, no stretch or pillarbox

Hands on, when you want

Spin the rotary knobs with your scroll wheel

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.

  • Mouse-wheel control for heading, altitude, baro, COM/NAV and map range
  • A larger, forgiving hit area — no pixel-hunting the knob's edge
  • Click-through everywhere else — the overlay never steals a click

Out of your way in an instant

Double-tap Ctrl to show or hide it

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.

  • One global hotkey — works anywhere mid-flight
  • Toggles the whole panel at once — nothing to reposition
  • Tucks away to the system tray when you want it fully gone

How it works

Up and flying in under a minute

No config files to wrangle, no second computer. Launch and go.

Start your flight

Load any aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 the way you always do.

Run PanelSight

It connects over SimConnect, detects your aircraft, and replicates the matching panel — all on its own.

Just fly

The panel's already on screen and live. Needles move with the aircraft, clicks pass straight through to the sim. That's it.

Supported aircraft

Planes PanelSight already knows

Detected and replicated automatically — nothing to set up. Here's a selection of what's supported today, with the library growing toward every Career-mode aircraft and beyond.

…and the list keeps growing — more aircraft are added all the time.

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.

In focus now

Every aircraft in MSFS 2024 Career mode

We're covering the planes you actually fly in Career mode first — analog and glass alike — so the overlay is ready as you progress. From there, the supported library keeps expanding to the rest of the hangar.

Coming soon

Use your secondary screen(s)

PanelSight detects your extra monitors automatically and spreads the instruments across them — putting the screens you already own to work.

Coming soon

Build & customize your own panels

Rearrange instruments, tweak the layout and save your own setups — for when you want to go beyond the panel PanelSight builds automatically.

FAQ

Good questions

Which simulator does it support? +
PanelSight is built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and talks to it through the official SimConnect interface. It reads data the same way the sim's own tools do.
Do I need a second PC or special hardware? +
No. PanelSight runs on the same machine as the sim as a lightweight always-on-top overlay, right over your existing view — clicks pass straight through. Sending the panel to a second monitor is coming soon, but nothing extra is required today.
Will it hurt my frame rate? +
It's designed to be light — a single SimConnect connection feeding a simple vector-drawn overlay. It doesn't hook the renderer or inject into the sim.
Which aircraft are supported? +
A growing list across analog and glass — from the C152, C172, PA-28 and DHC-2 Beaver to the TBM, Vision Jet, DA62, G36 Bonanza, PC-12, Draco, XCub and more — all recognized automatically. The library keeps expanding, and glass aircraft are driven straight from the sim's own displays.
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. Building and customizing your own panels is on the roadmap for when you want to go further.
How do I get it? +
PanelSight is in active development. Drop your email below and we'll let you know the moment early access opens.
