How do I do this?:

Simple. Open the panel.cfg (or sound.cfg) with Notepad. Select all & replace with one of the following



panel.cfg aliases
sound.cfg aliases

[fltsim]
alias=Airbus_A321\panel
[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\panel

Open Panel.cfg (or Sound.cfg) in Notepad & change the name of the aircraft to one on that list.

The most common reason for doing this is that the panel & sound of FS9 aircraft are often aliased to the FS9 default B737_400 which is not included with FSX. Aircraft without a panel are not listed on the FSX aircraft selection menu. This is easily fixed by aliasing it to the FSX default b737_800 like this;

Change this;

[fltsim]
alias=B737_400\panel

to this;

[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\panel

Do the same for Sound.cfg if necessary. You can alias it to any flyable aircraft in your SimObjects\airplanes folder proving it has its own panel & sound files. Use the exact folder name of the aircraft you wish to alias to.
