Yes, the alias feature is a 2d panel thing. It is usefull when you have two 
identical instruments that should be "connected" to different properties, for 
example two nav radios or two CDIs. With aliases, one defines which 
properties to use, for that particular instrument instance, in the panel 
config file when including the instrument config file. This is a very usefull 
feature, and it would be just as usefull for 3d instruments for exactly the 
same reasons as it is for 2d instruments.

Because of aliases apparently not being implemented, the Piper has two CDIs 
that are connected to the same nav radio, and consequently display the same 
information.
