Replacement Cessna 310Q 2D Panel

[aputech]

Hello, I've been using the FSX modeled C-310Q twin for a few months and recently located a 2D panel that replaces the Beech Baron panel that is used in its 2D view. After several unsuccessful attempts to replace the 2D panel (it has no installation instructions) I figured it was time to ask the expert(s). The original file name of the plane is "C310Q.zip" and the replacement 2D panel file is "FP_310Q." What do I need to do to activate the 2D panel, replacing the Beech Baron panel?

Your help would be appreciated,

Its not like activate

Its more like replace in the folder Panel/panel.cfg
the following lines for the one you are trying to use
open Panel.cfg using notepad and these lines are the definition of the 2d panel

also you may have to add the gauges of your new 2d panel INSIDE this panel folder
