Did you restart FS2002 before checking your new panel? If you have the game running and make a change to the panel it won't show until you restart the game. You also need to move any new guages to the Guages folder for any new panel. It should tell you in the Readme file that came with the panel how to install it.

For scenery files you have to activate them in the scenery library before they show up in the game.

If you have the game running and make a change to the panel it won't show until you restart the game.

Swapping planes and then going back to the one you made the alteration in does it. Takes a little less time.

So if i want to add a F-27 but i was just landed from a flight.........i can just move it in then go to the aircraft and choose it and i don't need to restart Fs?.........it is so much faster that way! But are there any limits? like panels, gauges or anything?

Yes you can, but what I meant was that if you make an alteration to an aircraft you already have, let's say to the position of a guage on a panel, then you can view the alteration by swapping planes and swapping back again.

That resets the whole plane. The original post regarding this was pointing out that if you make a change without re-loading the aircraft, it won't be visible until you do.

One thing to note if you add a new aircraft whilst running FS2002 and select it without restarting - you may get an error message when you select it saying FS2002 can't find the model. Usually you can ignore it but it's wiser to do a re-start when adding new aircraft as opposed to modifying them.
