Thanks.

A full purely 3D panel is not practical with current hardware -- we
won't be making every gauge and needle fully 3D; I think that some
parts are good candidates for 3D animation, though.  You mention the
throttle and mixture knobs -- the levers on larger aircraft will
definitely need to be 3D, as will the control yokes, fuel selector
level, rudder pedals, parking brake, and possibly the various trim
wheels.  I think we might get away with sticking to textures for the
radio knobs and other smaller things.

You could try upgrading directory by directory rather than from the
root.


All the best,
