It's been a long time & this is only a suggestion. If you're using CfgEdit click Gauge on the menu & make sure the "Draw Gauges Transparently" option is checked. Tell me if this does the trick.

I checked it out for you. The transparency on some older gauges doesn't work on 3D panels. They will work best on a separate 2D pop-up window like the default engine controls.

For the Corsair open Panel.cfg in Notepad. Add a new window to the Window Titles at the top.

[Window Titles]
Window00=%window_title_00%
Window01=%window_title_01%
Window02=Stick

Now paste this below the [Window.01] entry. (Just above the [Vcockpit01] header.)

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=200,200
windowsize_ratio=1.00  
position=7
visible=1
ident=30

gauge00=STIKHAND, 25,70,150


Exit Notepad saving changes. This is what you should end up with.

I noticed that you're using a slightly different gauge. If it has a different file name simply change the name in the Panel.cfg entry.

gauge00=name ofyour gauge, 25,70,150
