If you want smooth gauges in FS planes, check RealAir's packages.

FSX is preferred if you do a lot of VFR flying. FS9 is preferred if you want complex cockpit environments and complex IFR flying.

The modules for doing that often were developed for FS8 and then carried over to FS9, where the one I have in mind do run stable for sure. That still cannot be said about the versions for FSX. It looks better with FSX, but is riskier business than running it under FS9. OS also is a factor, like it is with many other sims, too, SBP for example.

That all major developers still publish items and stuff for FS2004 is a message in itself. There still is a market for FS2004, and it can hold itself to FSX.
