To be frank, I don't think that's the case. All new users don't know 
anything (yet). So, showing outlines which don't really mean anything to 
them, just adds to their confusion - whatever the colour (and every new 
user is already a bit confused when he looks at a cockpit for the first 
time). And the hotspot feature is especially meant for new users - 
experienced guys know where to click anyway.

If we want panel outlines (to help aircraft designers) then it should be 
enabled through a different option.
