I agree that 3D is the way to go. Like David says, all the 3D polys in
the scene can of course be textured. We (BDG) use a resolution of
512x512 pixels for the textures of each of the main displays (art.
horizon, airspeed, VSI, boost gauge etc). The texture includes things
like the bezel, it would

That's perfect.

It actually changed the field of view, not the view position, so it was like
looking through a zoom lens.

For a while, I had "+", "-", and "=" assigned to that, with "=" snapping
back to the default zoom. I think someone else changed it.
I'd be reluctant to use t

2D CRT or LCD screens in cockpits look fine but 3D knobs, buttons, switch

You can map a 2D panel into a 3D cockpit; see the c172 model files.
Basically, you define corners for the quad you want the panel to
appear in, and FlightGear draws it appropriately.

Actually, the preferred method would be Blender/AC3D, GIMP, and vi/emacs --

I'm thinking I want to get into building panels for FG aircraft.
