How to fly Manfred's DC-3 with the modern Virtual Cockpit?

I am trying to use the modern instrument panel in Manfred Jahn's magnificent C-47

(http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?81118-Manfred-s-Douglas-C-47-Reloaded-(Beta))

I have read the documentation files for the Garmin 530 and 430, and I can tune the VOR frequencies. I can tune the Bendix ADF receiver.

My problem is with the Dual-Needle RMI. I can see that the green needle is controlled by the ADF receiver. What is the yellow needle controlled by?

Any links to remedial reading about the Dual-Needle RMI would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thank you, Jan, those links cleared it up!

One minor problem: the left button to select the source for the yellow needle is obscured by the control yoke. And unlike many VCs, in this one the yoke cannot be removed.
 
If you click on the control column (where it makes the bend) the entire yoke/column assembly drops a few inches so you can see the instruments.
