First launch the VC had FULL lighting, and the VC engine gauges all worked. it was glorious looking, but I chose the one model that didn't have a 2d panel. On reset, chose a different model with a 2d panel and VC backlights only shown on the static VC tectures- ALL the VC gauges failed to load. Tried 2 different models and same weird missing gauges. Relaunched and finally got a model that had a 2d panel, and working VC gauges. backlighting never returned in the VC. I'm at a loss here.

2. I didn't change any lights in the aircraft.cfg, so it's whatever they came with. I verifyied I have the fx files called for in the cfg. Whats weird is I posted a pic in this thread and they worked (Mckays panel and the FSD_JSII.air file). It's so weird.
***EDIT*** On reinstall landing lights returned. Issue resolved ??? <shrug>
3.
***EDIT*** On closer inspection of the fuel panel items ... ... it's ... ummm...not ... umm umm.... sigh.

1 more comment on the landing light issue : The landing light switch on the 2d panel doesnt turn them on, only the VC landing light switch or the sim's global 'L' command will turn them on. Also- the VC switch is 3 position ON-OFF-ON so I'm thinking it was written for lo / high beam setup for each side ?

Maybe they imported the switches from Lucas Electrics. Remember their infamous three-position headlight switches: Dim, Flicker and Off?

Actually closer to a Cessna Citation Bravo the Jetstar is Loud, much louder than a 146

We tested the fuel- its working

Is that in your panel.cfg

gauge36=LJS!Fuel_Control_V, 1511,1031,31,30
gauge37=LJS!Fuel_Control_H, 1550,1049,30,33

Not it’s loudness but it’s unique idle/spool and full throttle buzzsaw like sound

Yes, the only thing I've done to the panel is remove the realityxp gauge.
