A 2D cabin window and wing-view overlay panel restores a missing passenger-style perspective with a clean, fixed pop-up that frames the wing while flying in exterior wing view. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it integrates into an aircraft’s panel setup and appears as a selectable window for quick access.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D panel / gauge

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place panel files

    Panel files go inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{aircraft}\panel\. Back up the existing panel folder first.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    It really did work guys! After reading the reviews I was a little sceptic about trying it, but after a few tweaks I actually got it to work.

    Not even sure if this helps, however I just converted the BMP files to DDS through an online file converter and got it working with no problem. Though it literally drove me crazy at first trying to figure it out.

    Just as it looks on the description. I'm happy. Thanks Bro for a little more added realism.

    Dear FsxGenius, Your wing view is simply great, can you please let me know how you create the bump window file. I was trying to create window view with another Airbus window image, but not able to manage the transperency in Photoshop.

    Please share your expertise

    Regards

    It is ALT+SHIFT+3 not shift+3. Try LOOKING as it says ALTERNATE

    Your instructions are not complete.

    1. How do you name the "Window Titles?" 2. It sure would make it easier if you added a copy of a panel.cfg file as an example.
