It is designed to be used as a central work station for Flight Simulator management and related operations. You can view and manage aircraft and panels, edit configurations, run the simulators and any other application you wish from within Panama. Additional features will be added in the future.

Feedback

Please see the help file for feedback or other contact details. If you would like to contribute to Panama's development, there are some areas which you can assist with. For example, as I don't own CFS2 I will need assistance with implementing support for it. If you would like to supply the necessary information and test the results let me know. I'd also be interested to hear of your mileage on systems other than that which Panama is developed on, as well as the usual bug reports and suggestions.
