Federico L. Morcillo Azofra "Pitts" not for FSX?

Unless I'm missing something, the two new "Pitts" by Federico L. Morcillo Azofra do not seem to be FSX compatable as claimed due to absent gauges that seem to require the Extra 300 gauges from FS9

This is obviously an FS9 aircraft "updated" for FSX, with or without the author's knowledge. It would have made things much easier if the FS9 default gauges had been included with FSX. I put this down to an oversight on the part of the developers as including gauges from previous versions of MSFS has been common practice since the official Patch & Converter were released for FS98. I'm surprised that nobody has thought of posting a similar conversion package for FSX before now. I can't see how MS could possibly object to that but then, I'm not a corporate lawyer.

PS. It should be easy enough to replace the FS9 Extra-300 gauge entries in Panel.cfg with the FSX default Extra gauge. Use the Notepad 'Find & Replace' feature.

I got the needed Extra300 gauges from my copy of FS9.
They are contained in"msgame3.cab" in disk 2.

However, aside from the external model, I didn't like the Pitts so, I deleted it. The air file is a bit too unrealistic in FSX and the canopy is not transparent enough for my tastes. :)
