hmmm .... I get the feeling you know something I haven't figured out yet ... :)

maybe a wrong choice of words , I really dislike 2d panel ANYTHING in a 3d

again I have to agree , and to implement the MFD on-screen checklist this way

Ive tried generating several for better clarity , but haven't been very 
successful.
