Any updates on this? have you tried and make it work?
I still use it. It works in P3DV5. See thread:

+1 great tool
I should point out that 2 distinct utilities have been referred to in this thread.
The original subject matter of this thread is a LUA Script created by Chris Warner back in 2014, which is still available at the FSUIPC product support forum at:
https://forum.simflight.com/topic/76236-majestic-q400-v-speed-calculator-and-setter/
However, the utility referred to in the third post in this thread is an XML Gauge and can be obtained at:
majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/245/v-speed-calculator-and-setter-xml-gauge
There are pros and cons to each of these utilities:
(1) The LUA Script requires registered FSUIPC (not freeware) to be installed in your simulator.
(2) You interact with the LUA Script using keystrokes (1,2,3)
(3) The LUA Script had some problems if operated concurrently with FS2Crew. However I suggested a refinement to address this issue back in 2016, and this can be found at:
https://avsim.com/forums/topic/483728-conflict-fs2-q400vspeedslua/
There was a later refinement created by another user in 2017, which can be found at the FSUIPC forum, but I cannot comment on its features.
(4) The XML Gauge requires the concurrent installation of XMLTools (freeware) from the FSDeveloper website, but does not require registered FSUIPC.
(5) You can interact with the XML Gauge using mouse-clicks or directly on a touchscreen, in fact it was designed as a touchscreen interface
(6) I believe that the V-speed computation in the XML gauge is more accurate as it uses linear interpolation on the original tabular data and (QNH-corrected) pressure altitude values.
Hope this clarifies.

I mean too, via XML Gauge:
