Panel Installer 1. What is “Panel Installer” To make VRi’ss flight panel work with MSFS aircrafts, aircraft’ss panel configuration file, panel.cfg, and related initialization initializ file, *.ini, need to be modified. When this process is not done properly, V320 Overhead will not work. “Panel Installer” does this modification properly. With Panel Installer, when you select proper path, product, aircraft, this process will be a piece of cake.
1. MSFS-Root Root Path: Browse the path where “Microsoft Flight Simulator X” is installed. If “Microsoft Flight Simulator X” is installed other “Drive” or “Directory”, find the path and click “OK”. If you select a wrong path, “Status” window displays error message.

VRinsight panel: Select V320 Overhead. Aircraft: Select your aircraft. Run: Copy & paste all necessary panel data to work V320 Overhead automatically. Status: Inform current status.
2. How to start “Panel Installer” “Panel Installer” that can be found in the program group “VRInsight”. A. Go to Windows “Start” B. Find program group “VRinsight” C. Click “Panel Installer”
IMPORTANT NOTE: “Run As Administrator” Windows 7 and Vista has more intensive security policy for system safety from accidental corruption of system files. A user can't access system folder (i.e. 'Program Files', “Windows”) for reading and writing, even if he/she has administrator's privilege. To access these folders, he/she must be 'Administrator'. 'Panel Installer' or “VRiSim” try to access system folder to know where FSX is installed. But it could be blocked if it's not 'Run As Administrator'. So, please do as following procedure to run software, (1) Go to 'Start' and find program group 'VRInsight'
