FGPanel was not part of the FlightGear 2.4.0 release for Windows. Windows users can get the executable from [http://flightgear.simpits.org:8080/job/FlightGear-Win-Cmake/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/install/msvc100/FlightGear/bin/fgpanel.exe Jenkins].

FGPanel is now available as a ''Live System'', a complete, stand-alone software setup, including FGPanel, (partial) FGData, Linux operating system and necessary start-up scripts. The ISO image (350MB download) needs to be programmed on a CD/DVD, USB flash or hard disk drive. Just insert the CD/DVD or connect the USB/HDD drive to your (old) PC, add an (old) graphics card, and an (old) TFT or monitor - and you've made the first step to your own cockpit home setup! The PC boots the image, immediately starts FGPanel and displays C172p cockpit instruments. Run the FlightGear Simulator on your main PC and enable the C172 FGPanel Protocol to transmit data to your cockpit panel PC.
FGPanel was available as a ''OpenSUSE Live System'', a complete, stand-alone software setup, including OpenSUSE Linux operating system and all necessary start-up scripts. Unfortunately the SuseStudio service was shut down in 2018, so the ISO images are no longer available for download.


The live CD is a freely available SUSE Studio project. It can also be cloned/modified/adapted to personal needs via SUSE Studio (web interface). Operating system is based on OpenSuSE Linux 12.1. FlightGear binaries (fgpanel) are directly pulled from the OpenSuSE build service (OBS).
FGPanel is still part of OpenSUSE's standard FlightGear packages though. So, to run fgpanel on a separate PC, you can simply install openSUSE and download the FlightGear package from the OpenSUSE repository. See the {{flightgear source|utils/fgpanel/README|text=README}} for more.
