Now follows the result in VASL after the Refreshment (in next post):
To my surprise, Names and Labels of counters were converted. I am pretty sure that this did not work when I last meddled with the function a good time back. This is a very significant improvement!
I checked one of the vehicles whether the new v6.6.1 Malfunction Flags work - they did. So obviously conversion took place.
The other issues I saw at first glance seemed comparably minor:
Bottomline based on this test:
The conversion worked remarkably well in this case, requiring only few manual adjustments afterwards (Draggable Overlay Labels: remove default test in unused lines, Turn Track 'layers' of counters, EC counter labels, which aren't a conversion issue though).
Still, it only seems to work if no Extensions are added to VASL.
Still, it remains unclear which counter(s) are not converted.

The other issues I saw at first glance seemed comparably minor:
- For Weather and EC, the new counters had the label. This is not really an issue, because the label ('Compass', 'Wind', ...) is, since recently, 'standard setting' in VASL and as such comes as no surprise.
- In the Turn Track, the 'Red Triangle' and the 'END' counter have switched their - hm - 'layer': The 'Red Triangle' should be beneath the number of the Turn Track and the 'END' counter should be above it.
- Draggable Overlay Labels usually have two lines. In my experience, you usually use one of both lines to add text and leave the second one empty because the entered text gets 'centered' and not 'left alinged'. Usually, it is the latter, what is mostly needed in my esperience. Anyway, if one of both lines was orginally empty, now the default text for the unused line shows. Here, we have Draggable Overlays with bold letters without background. The entered text in Line 1 was successfully converted, the 'empty' Line two was converted to hold the default text for this Draggable Overlay, i.e. 'no background'
