Can't find any info on how to add working gauges to the DVC panel & console in FSDS2.

Is there one?  :D

On another note - will FSDS2 support the ability to manipulate gauges & switches within the VC that FS2004 will allow?

The process is exactly similar in Gmax, FSDS1.6 & FSDS2. Joe Amodea's "So You Want to Build a Dynamic Virtual Cockpit!" tute describes the basic principle. http://www.simviation.com/fsdutilsdesntute1.htm
There should also be details in the FS2002 MakeMDL SDK. I create dummy DVC BMPs & use CfgEdit to position the gauges on them.

Unless Felix knows otherwise I think we will have to wait & see.
