I would like to know why when I use the same gauge in 2-d panel and I put it onto the virtual panel it looses detail and some of its diplay features, and also shouldnt all gauges that work in 2-d panel alsowork in virtual panel , is their any config settings in FS to change this

If you're using G:Vars in the gauge, try to replace them with L:Myvar,enum or whatever suits better. I have had some strange problems using G:Vars in gauges, but occured only after I put it on the virtual panel.Also, if there are clipping errors in the gauge, use the tag to (maybe, with some luck) get around the problem.
