First of all, you cannot run a FS2002 gauge in FSX. Period.

Secondly, you cannot "add" anything to the virtual cockpit. The best you can do is create a new 'popup window' in which to load the gauge you want, then open it while in the VC.

I saw it in the coding but not on the screen.
I just figured out how to access it.
Now to see if it has a hot key to hide and unhide.
I found a button on the normal screen but not the Vscreen.
