lol! I could do without that at the moment - lockdowns have made this particular freelancer a very poor chap who should not really be spending money on this hobby!!

If you do get a chance to have a peek at some time I'd appreciate it. Cheers :-)

Absolutely old chap!, Definitely no need to pay if its all there to officially dl for free. I could have sworn it was the radio panel but that is not the case from what I see. Weird. Hopefully someone can help? I think Ralph is away until Tuesday so will have limited time to offer an answer, but hopefully soon. In the meantime I will ask my nurse for a 'steady pill' :D :lol:

Just out of interest, do you have full access to the instrument code for the whole panel?. The paid one is closed code so no access. I wonder if there is a mistake in the listing and the paid is being offered for free. :?:

No desperate rush to find out. I'm broke now and I'll still be broke in a week's time lol! I've been meaning to ask the question for a while now, so hanging on isn't going to kill me. Enjoy your pill!

The panels you posted pictures of are all paid panels. You get them all as part of the paid package. The differences are either the radio stacks and/or that a particular one works with a particular add-on. There are actually 7 to select from. So the HD versions are essentially the same but to support different add ons. The others should be self explanatory by the name of each.

HD
Dual GNS
RXP GTN
Cessna 172SP Right seat
Dual G1000
Full HD (Simcoders - version 3)
Full HD (Airfoil labs - version 1.8)

A couple of differences with the free panel:
- Comes as a complete panel with background, G1000, GNS and GTN750 layout.
- Works with default, Airfoil Labs and Simcoders REP.
- Animated instruments.
- Pop up fuel panel.
- Throttle and mixture control.
- X55 autopilot as in the default X-Plane Cessna 172.
- Full compatibility with RealityXP GNS's.

It's up to you if that's something you think you would need/want, you don't have to.
