Same as before: It appears to be a FS9, maybe even a FS8 import. The only way to fix it is to edit the panel.cfg file and substitute in gauges that will work in FSX. It's tedious, but that's the only way to fix it without simply swapping in the panel folder from aircraft that is similar and works in FSX. Unfortunatley, that doesn't help too much with the VC.

That depends on if it's a native FSX, or a properly updated import. I just DL'ed the Nor Cal Prop Club "updat", and frankly, it's down to their low standards. Some of their updates work fairly well, other, you can update your self, and achieve better results.
The only 2D panel that shows is the yellow, and it's missing the same gauges as your screenshot.

99.98% of everything in the FSX section DOES work in FSX. Pete is only 1 person that also has a real life other than pouring over 20 aircraft and scenery every day just to give us something to download. Looks like you found a Goose-Egg. Sorry to disappoint you.
Question, have you tried pressing SHIFT+2, SHIFT+3, SHIFT+4... ETC ETC ETC to see if it has a GPS or the radio stack. I bet it does.

The aircraft is fine -- but
yes the guy had forgotten to include nav radios. (WRONG)
This is easily fixed with a little panel edit. As for the 2d panel it's completely blank in my version... - most modern FSX a/c these days don't include a 2d panel (I never use them if I don't have to - even since FS98 I looked forward to VC's)
OK -- On further inspection go to
Views - Instrument Panel - Radios
