AFAIK no CVE Lite ships work in Orbiter 2010. Is there way this can be fixed? Are there any CVEL addons that have been updated to work with O2010? If so, how was that accomplished?

I don't know about CVEL for 2010 as I've never used it. David Henderson wrote it and isn't part of the community anymore however if someone is interested in updating CVEL I am still in touch with David and can ask him for the source code.
Wouldn't using Payload manager be a better option? It's much more GUI friendly for one thing....

I'm not talking about making new addons, just about bringing old addons up to date so that they can be run in Orbiter 2010. I don't know much about CVEL either and wouldn't have a clue as to how to update it, though.

Well, I'll confess; I've been compiling with CVEL.
In addition to re-compiling the code itself, the cvel.lib needs to be re-compiled under the Orbiter 2010 libraries. Once that's done, it works fine.
I re-compiled the cvel.lib based on the VESSEL2-based CVEL library, except that I updated it further to use the VESSEL3 construct. No other changes have been made. In principle, it would be possible to use the VESSEL3 communication facilities in the SDK to eliminate the need for cvelmessage.dll altogether, but that's probably beyond my skills and certainly beyond the limits of my available time.
I had meant to update the Sourceforge page with my cvel3 .lib, but it appears my Sourceforge account (which did have that access) has been purged long ago from disuse.
So, I'll need to push it to Orbithangar.
