Thanks for the info, Jeroen. I think you're right, I experimented with CS 707, which I forgot to mention is also suffers from stuttering. I kept only 1 vc section, copied all 109 vc gauges to section 1, resizing them to 0,0. When I tested the addon there was no stuttering. All flight instruments on the original section 1, which size I left as is, rotates smoothly, despite the fact that the vc still have the same 109 gauges as before. CS707 has 8 vc sections, so that means each gauge only has less than 4 fps update rate at 30 in game fps. No wonder.. Sadly my rig could only handle 60 fps even in unlimited setting, so I think the only solution is to get back to 2d panel, since finding replacement model and doing major modif to panel.cfg is beyond me..
