I'm not really sure what you mean. The TAS setting can be rotated in Air Manager, and the clock can cycle through all the modes, just like the X-Plane version.

Are you expecting the TAS - for example - to make a difference to actual airspeed readings in the sim ? - it does nothing at all in X-Plane.
Also, exactly what are the areas that you believe are 'different' in the x-plane clock and the panel clock.

There's a bit of confusion here I think :) Maybe a little video of the problem would help.

I am not sure how I can be more clear, here are the pictures of the clock again, taken at the same time... one from AM one from the SIM... they are different! If I click the buttons in the SIM, the SIM changes but the AM display does not. If I click the buttons in AM, the AM display changes but the SIM does not. I am trying not to use the SIM for display as I have built my own panel with encoders and switches to control each instrument. Everything works "in the sim". So when I push my clock buttons, it changes "in the SIM" but does not change in AM. AM only changes if I click buttons in the AM interface and again, as mentioned, the display in the SIM does not change.

If you set the input mode user property of the premium version as follows they will be in sync. Restart the panel after making the change.

So the instruments do work, and it is only the synchronization. Then I don't really see the point, because like I said before, neither of these influence the behavior of the aircraft.
And like Tony said, you can synchronize them in the premium panel, if that's really what you want.

Thanks Sling, that setting did the trick.

Ralph, the simple point is having accuracy in the simulator for the rendering of all gauges.

Has any of this been fixed yet? I built a new cockpit where I need to be able to set the TAS calibration and actually have it move the AM gauge, not just the one in MSFS. I also have the three buttons for the clock for "select", "control" and "OAT VOLTS" that I can't seem to get working either.

I thought I just said that it needs to control the TAS card in air manager, not just in MSFS? Then there is the issue with the 3 switches for the clock not working, but that might go a bit deeper into Asobo territory.
